Sheridan Technologies
Sheridan Technologies is a Vancouver, Washington engineering and product development firm helping teams design, build, integrate, and rescue complex products. Our work connects embedded firmware, electronics and PCB design, software, mechanical design, robotics, and industrial automation.
We support architecture and technical reviews, prototype development, hardware and firmware integration, verification, manufacturing readiness, and product rescue. Work can begin with a focused technical review or a defined engineering work package. One accountable technical lead coordinates senior specialists as the project requires.
Capabilities include bare-metal and RTOS firmware, connected IoT systems, sensor integration, custom software and mobile applications, computer vision and AI integration, and test and production support. Engagement scope, delivery milestones, and acceptance criteria are agreed for each project.

Processes and approach
How do you gather and validate client requirements?
We clarify product goals, review the existing system and documentation, and identify technical constraints, interfaces, risks, and acceptance criteria. When uncertainty is high, a focused technical review or prototype helps define a bounded first work package.
How do you ensure alignment with client goals and business strategy?
One accountable technical lead connects the engineering scope to the business objective, delivery milestones, and acceptance criteria. Scope and priorities are reviewed with the client as technical findings or business needs change.
Which software development methodologies do you use (e.g., Agile, Waterfall, Scrum)?
We use iterative, Agile and Lean practices suited to the project. Work is organized into defined engineering packages, with early prototyping and verification to reduce uncertainty across hardware, firmware, and software integration.
How do you keep clients and stakeholders updated on project progress?
Progress is communicated against agreed milestones, with technical findings, demonstrations, test evidence, open issues, and next steps appropriate to the engagement. The accountable technical lead coordinates communication across specialists.
How frequently do you hold check-in meetings or status updates?
The reporting and meeting cadence is agreed at the start of each engagement and adjusted to the project phase, decision needs, and delivery milestones.
What quality assurance practices do you follow?
Verification is planned alongside architecture and implementation. Depending on scope, work can include design reviews, firmware and software testing, hardware bring-up, integration testing, test documentation, and design-for-test and manufacturing-readiness reviews.
How do you identify and manage project risks?
We identify critical assumptions, interfaces, dependencies, and failure modes early, then prioritize the highest-risk items for technical review, prototyping, or testing. Findings and tradeoffs are documented so scope and priorities can be adjusted with the client.
What kind of support or maintenance do you offer after delivery?
Post-delivery work can include commissioning, debugging, technical documentation, maintenance, product improvements, and manufacturing handoff. The support scope and commercial terms are agreed for each engagement.
