Engineering the products that move industries forward.
Black Ocean Technologies turns bold ideas into production-ready electronics. We solve hard engineering problems for companies that refuse to compromise on quality, and our manufacturing partner, EMSG, carries every design into full-scale US production.
Deep engineering expertise. A proven path to production.
We are not a factory chasing volume. We are engineers who treat every board like it will ship a million units, because someday it might. Every design is tested and proven before it reaches EMSG, and every build stays on US soil.
Electronic Design & Engineering
Schematic capture, multi-layer PCB layout, RF, power and mixed-signal design, built in Altium.
02 ServiceValue Engineering
BOM cost review, part consolidation and design changes that lower unit cost and raise yield.
03 ServicePrototyping & Testing
Quick-turn US prototypes, functional testing and EMI/EMC pre-testing before you commit to tooling.
04 ServiceManufacturing Coordination
One point of contact from design to production. We manage the handoff to EMSG.
We design the vision. EMSG brings it to life.
A dedicated engineering team with deep technical expertise, connected from day one to a proven, scalable US production partner. You get one point of contact and no factory overhead.

Take Over an Existing Design
When your current design partner isn't working.
Move Off a Raspberry Pi
When a prototype board becomes a liability.
Scalable, Modular Hardware
When one unit should be able to grow into many.
Wireless & RF Products
When signal integrity is the hardest part of the product.
When you hire Black Ocean, you work with the engineer doing the work, not a project manager relaying messages.
