Capabilities

What we build

Two disciplines, one delivery team, so software and hardware are designed to fit together.

Web & mobile applications

Product-grade apps with thoughtful UX, from marketing sites to complex, data-heavy dashboards.

APIs & backends

Reliable services, data models, and integrations.

Workflow automation

Cut manual steps with tailored automation.

System on Chip (SoC)

Board bring-up, drivers, and low-level integration.

Firmware & RTOS

Robust, real-time firmware built to spec.

Sensors, IoT & hardware automation

Connected devices and automated hardware, from prototype rigs to production test benches.

How we work

From idea to something that ships

  1. 01

    Discover

    We map the problem, constraints, and success criteria before writing code or cutting a board.

  2. 02

    Prototype

    Fast, tangible prototypes like a working screen or a bench rig, to validate direction early.

  3. 03

    Build

    Production engineering across software and hardware, tested and integrated as one system.

  4. 04

    Ship & support

    We deploy, measure, and keep improving after launch.

One team, both sides of the stack

Little Lab Rats is an engineering studio that designs and builds custom software and embedded systems. We are a team founded by engineers with experience across a range of industries, alongside Dartmouth College alumni, bridging both research and real-world industry application. Whether you need an application, a connected device, or the firmware and automation that ties them together, we take it from idea to something that ships.
