About Groundplane
Hardware doesn't fail in the design. It fails in the handoffs.
So we built Groundplane with no handoffs to disappear into. Two senior people who own every project end to end, from the first sketch to the last manufactured unit. When you hire us, you get both of us on the work. For specialty disciplines outside our two-person stack (industrial design, firmware deep-dives, web, mobile), we bring in senior partners we've shipped with before. No juniors running unsupervised, no work disappearing into someone else's queue.
