Engineering capability
One team across the physical and digital system.
We support the work from early constraints through detailed design, software, commissioning, and production improvement. Scope stays explicit; deliverables stay usable.
02
Automation, robotics, and tooling
Robotic cells, conveyors, fixtures, end-of-arm tooling, and integration support designed for operator access, cycle time, safety, and maintainability.
Cells / fixtures / integration
03
Embedded systems and firmware
Device firmware, control interfaces, IoT connectivity, and testable embedded software that connects physical hardware to reliable operations.
Firmware / IoT / controls
04
Engineering software, CAD automation, and AI
CAD add-ins, data pipelines, engineering applications, and focused AI tools that remove repetitive work without obscuring engineering judgement.
APIs / add-ins / data / AI
05
Prototyping and additive manufacturing

What Clients Say
Customer Testimonials
Josh is a hardworking, hands-on engineer. He is very willing to take on any problems challenges and be successful with them. I worked with Josh, he was our engineer. He pitched in where ever and did whatever was necessary to get the job done.
Shrini Mundlur, P.Eng. CET
Product Design and Development Engineer
Blackrock Engineering established our dual Cobot digital printing cell, and we have successfully printed tens of thousands of medals for amateur sports globally. Their work was efficient and neat, and we discovered several new methods to reduce material costs.
Ian Pierce
Owner, Digital Print Shop
Blackrock Engineering created a modern and responsive website for our restaurant. My favorite part is the interactive ordering system.
Daniel Sanchez
