About Device Solutions
Since opening our doors in 2003, Device Solutions has established itself as a trusted electronics engineering consultancy specializing in IoT, RF, and embedded systems. We work with clients across industrial, mining, medical, and automotive markets from early feasibility through production support and certification.
We believe great engineers are looking for more than just compensation, benefits, or the latest technology stack. Many of our team members joined us after successful careers at larger companies because they wanted something different: greater technical ownership, faster decision-making, meaningful customer impact, and the opportunity to work alongside highly experienced peers. Our team is supported by tenured engineering and business professionals who value collaboration, innovation, and solving complex real-world problems. Engineers here have direct influence on projects, customers, and technical direction, without layers of unnecessary bureaucracy or organizational politics.
