About Us

We are a group of hardware and embedded systems engineering
professionals, specializing in the specification, design, and implementation
of hardware. We provide development services to companies who are looking
to successfully outsource hardware development projects. We provide a
low-risk, high-quality alternative to offshore design service who offer
low hourly rates but often provide low-quality results.

High Gain Design is comprised of only the best and brightest
engineering talent that is available. We have cultivated a network of
highly experienced and respected hardware engineers with proven track
records. "Quality over quantity" is the overriding philosophy
for our staff. Our reputation is our most valuable asset and we strive
to build on this with every customer engagement.

We were founded by a team of engineers with over 45 years
of experience designing innovative products for Digidesign,
a pioneer in digital audio technology. Our team knows what it takes to
successfully deliver elegant and sustainable hardware products that meet
market requirements as well as cost and schedule targets.
