Electrical & Electronic Engineering Consulting
What is our main business? Helping organizations solve engineering problems from concept through manufacturing.
MicroFab provides electrical and electronic engineering consulting across semiconductor and microelectronics, mechanical, chemical, biomedical, manufacturing, construction, and other multidisciplinary applications where electrical or electronic engineering is essential to the success of the overall system.
MicroFab can support a focused engineering task, develop an electrical or electronic subsystem, help bring a product from concept through prototype and manufacturing, or work alongside your organization as an experienced external engineering resource.

How Can MicroFab Help Your Organization?
Start with your need. We will help determine the engineering path.
Are you a small or medium-sized company without an internal electrical engineering department?
MicroFab can serve as your electrical engineering resource—by project or as an ongoing extension of your team.
Are you a mechanical, chemical, biomedical, or other non-electrical engineering company that needs electrical system development?
We can design and integrate the electrical and electronic systems your product or process requires.
Do you need to develop an electrical or electronic product?
We can help with design, analysis, simulation, testing, prototyping, design verification, and transition to manufacturing.
Do you have a construction project that needs electrical engineering consulting?
We can provide technical review and engineering support for electrical systems, controls, equipment, facilities, and related project needs.
Do you have an electronic product that requires failure analysis or an independent assessment?
We can investigate the problem, evaluate the available evidence, and help identify technically supportable causes and solutions.
Do you need an expert witness for product-failure or engineering litigation?
MicroFab can provide independent technical analysis, expert consulting, reports, deposition support, and testimony.
Are you an investor, acquirer, or decision-maker evaluating an electrical, electronic, semiconductor, biomedical, diagnostic, or laboratory-technology company or product?
We can provide an independent technical and scientific assessment of the technology, risks, claims, evidence, and development or implementation readiness.
Do you need to build or improve a biomedical laboratory, diagnostic product, molecular assay, NGS workflow, or clinical-laboratory operation?
We can support site evaluation, laboratory retrofitting, equipment procurement, assay and workflow development, quality systems, LIMS, testing, validation, training, and certification or accreditation readiness.
Have an engineering issue that does not fit neatly into one of these categories?
Share it with us. A brief discussion may be enough to determine whether MicroFab can help—and what the next step should be.
