we help Device manufacturers
Build products for long-term success.
Are you focused on progress or just speed?
Many MedTech, Aerospace, & Defense R&D teams are racing toward deadlines, juggling prototypes, burning through budgets — and all that movement feels like progress. Unless that work solves the right problems, it’s just sprinting on a treadmill.
A lack of clarity exhausts the team, misses deadlines, overlooks details, and increases cost.
A high-performing team adopts a risk-first approach, embraces minimalism and simplicity, remains intentional about requirements, and clearly communicates goals to keep the team making progress.
Why do customers call us?
At Root3 Labs, we specialize in helping teams that are under pressure to make real engineering progress — fast. The medical device, aerospace, and defense industries all require development speed where months matter, but they also demand the highest levels of attention to detail and performance. Our team of experienced mechanical, electrical, computer / embedded software, and biomedical design engineers don’t just live in their computers – they also understand manufacturing & assembly processes, user experience, regulatory compliance to achieve effective speed.
Funded Startups with a Vision
You’ve got customer engagement, funding, and a clear product vision — but limited in-house engineering. We help funded startups turn that vision into working prototypes and manufacturable products.
Small to Mid-Sized Device Manufacturers
When internal teams are stretched thin or development is stuck, we jump in to accelerate progress. We bring engineering horsepower to meet deadlines, fix manufacturing issues, and deliver results.
Federal Agencies & Research Teams
We help scientific agencies and labs support the Warfighter by translating basic research into rugged, field-testable prototypes and real-world data.

For Visionary Customers
A Unique Approach
Our Process for Engineering R&D
Our customers know the value of time when it comes to getting to market. That’s why we’re often trying to get from a blank sheet of paper to a functional prototype quickly. We do that by distilling any project down to the riskiest challenges and tackling those first before refining the design step by step.
But, more than just moving fast, we want to get the best outcome for their customers, too. We use a development process that provides plenty of opportunities to minimize risk quickly and gather stakeholder feedback. We’ll help you navigate the early stages when you need to validate the most important technical and commercial principles to get support from your customers, colleagues, grant committees, investors, etc.

Follow the Critical Path for a Critical Advantage
"We need this yesterday!" Every engineer has heard this before, usually followed by a sinking feeling that quality is about to be sacrificed for speed. But, what if that tradeoff wasn't necessary? Over time, we've found that speed and quality don't have to be opposing...
Project Management: Meeting Tight Deadlines
The deadline is looming, the requirements are complex, and your team needs to deliver. Sound familiar? We recently completed a challenging project involving intricate design requirements and multiple heavy components - all on an aggressive timeline. Through careful...
Rethinking Product Development Efficiency
As someone who is both impatient and detail-oriented, I've spent years thinking about product development efficiency. Sometimes getting it right, and sometimes learning the hard way. I'm sure you can relate. Your team is tackling new problems every day. And, of...
Still thinking about it?
Book a call now!
Talk with one of our engineers about your project. We’ll answer any questions about how we can help you solve your technical challenges.
We’ll also have questions for you. We’d love to explore your supporting documentation, concepts, functionality requirements, budgetary expectations and constraints, and deadlines. If the issues are still fuzzy, we’ll just have a conversation to understand your project and what “success” looks like.
This is a no-obligation introductory call, not a hard-sell. If we’re not the best engineering partner to help right now, we’ll let you know.
