+ EXPERT GUIDANCE

Resident Engineers

Schedule a 1-on-1 session with a resident designer to review your physical prototypes, debug firmware, or optimize your enclosure designs for CNC milling and high-precision physical assembly.

Get direct technical feedback on your schematics and layout designs. Our instructors spend their mornings in active commercial labs and their afternoons helping you debug physical prototypes at the bench.
