About AVA Labs

One senior engineer. Sixteen years of shipped hardware. One goal: solve the specific problem in front of you.

AVA Labs is a hardware engineering practice founded and operated by Randy Robert. Work focuses on robotics, medical devices, and connected products, with deep experience in mechanical design, PCB and firmware integration, motor control, and design for manufacturing.

The business is structured around fixed-scope engagements for a simple reason: open-ended hourly work is bad for clients and bad for engineers. Clients lose visibility. Engineers lose focus. Fixed scope with defined deliverables produces better work and better outcomes for both sides.

Clients are typically engineering managers, product managers, small manufacturers, and OEMs who need a senior specialist for a bounded problem — a new SKU, a DFM review, a subsystem design, or ongoing technical leadership. AVA Labs is not a full-service product development firm and does not take on projects that need a team of specialists or regulatory submissions requiring a full quality system.
