How We Can Help You?

Trace Systems, Inc. can provide a full range of technical services, ranging from a little extra help for your project, to complete turn-key product development. Available services include product definition, design and simulation, prototype fabrication, and test and debugging in our own development lab.

We have the expertise, and the tools to do the job, in all major areas of your product’s technology. We can do digital, analog, and RF circuit design and test. We’re very comfortable with microprocessors and microcontrollers. We’ll also create software to control the hardware: embedded software in your device, and if appropriate for your product, we're experts at Rapid Application Development of Windows software to control hardware. Our approach is to provide the right mix of hardware and software, plus the spark of innovation, to meet your cost and performance goals.

We're professions who do this for a living, not "cousin Louie with the day job," who can only work on your project on some nights and maybe weekends.  We'll get your project done right, and without delay.
