forward thinking feedback
A servo is a feedback mechanism that regulates a system. Cruise control regulates your car, a thermostat regulates your home. srvo regulates the success of your next technical project. What would you like to srvo?
Sound familiar?
We've got the expertise you've been missing.
The question isn't whether you'll hit hard problems. You will. The question is whether you're stuck on them — or moving through them.
Scope drifts. Priorities shift. The roadmap that made sense in Q1 is a maze by Q3. We embed with your team to restore direction, set clear objectives, and make the next step obvious.
Automation is your way off the island. We design the systems that run quietly in the background so you can step away without everything falling apart. Take a break and come back refreshed.
Late-stage projects develop their own gravity. We show up at critical moments to push the hardest problems over the line and ship what you actually started building.
Features are easy to add and painful to remove. We apply rigorous product architecture from day one, so every component earns its place and your BOM doesn't become a liability.
Data sovereignty is an engineering choice, not a compliance checkbox. We design edge computing and self-hosted private cloud architectures that keep your data where it belongs — with you.
Raw data is just noise until it's structured. We build the pipelines, schemas, and dashboards that separate signal from static — and put you in a position to act on what you're measuring.
AI doesn't run itself, and picking the wrong tool is expensive. We supervise the fine-tuning: selecting models, designing training pipelines, and integrating inference into your existing stack.
What got you to v1.0 won't get you to v10.0. We audit your architecture and chart the migration path from tangled to scalable — while minimizing downtime in between.
Bad code compounds like debt — quietly, then all at once. When the person who built it is gone, someone has to own the cleanup. We audit what's there, map what needs to change, and build the path forward without burning it all down.
Revenue is a system. If yours isn't performing, something upstream is miscalibrated. We apply the same feedback-loop thinking to business development that we use on control systems — measure, diagnose, correct.
What we do
From the first sketch to production-ready systems — design, engineering, and business development under one roof. You shouldn't have to explain the same problem to five different consultants.
Where most engineers start with components, we start with the user. UI/UX, industrial design, and CAD/CAM — top-down from intent to interface. The details that separate products people love from products they tolerate.
End-to-end connected systems — from embedded sensors to self-hosted private clouds. Real-time visibility without sacrificing data sovereignty or your sanity.
Go-to-market strategy, growth modeling, and strategic partnerships. We make introductions that open doors and close deals.
From kinematics and actuator selection to real-time control loops and sensor fusion. We design robotic systems that work in the physical world, not just in simulation.
Intelligent building systems, process automation, and HVAC design. Control-system rigor applied to physical environments — from smart homes to commercial facilities.
BMS design, motor control, power electronics, and EV drivetrain architecture. From battery pack integration to regenerative braking — we've worked the full powertrain stack.
Wiring LLMs and AI agents into real operational workflows — not demos, not chatbots, but systems that do actual work. We orchestrate the context and intent layers that elevate intelligence to knowledge in motion.
The layer where computation meets consequence. Digital systems that perceive, decide, and act in the physical world — not simulated environments, not dashboards, but actual machines doing actual things. We design the architectures that make it work when it has to.
Prototyping to production. DFM audits, contract manufacturer selection, BOM optimization, and global sourcing strategy. We know a guy who knows a guy — with a passport.
How we engage
We work at different stages and intensities. Whether you need a scoped deliverable, ongoing embedded expertise, or someone to hold the technical wheel — there's a model for that.
A defined problem, a defined outcome. We take ownership, deliver, and hand off clean.
Ongoing embedded expertise. We're on your team, available when you need us, invested in the long game.
A veteran at the wheel — without the full-time overhead. Strategic, credible, and ready to present to your board.
We show up. Embedded in your facility or lab for a defined sprint — soldering iron in one hand, systems brain in the other.
Who we are
srvo is a boutique technical consultancy based in New York. The name comes from servomechanism — a self-correcting system that achieves a goal through continuous feedback. Define the objective, measure the current state, correct the error, repeat. That's how we run every engagement.
Our approach is design-thinking led. Engineers are notoriously poor product designers — we know, because we're rare engineers born with taste. We start with the why, not the what or the how. Problem pull, not technology push. The result is products that are technically sound and genuinely useful — which turns out to be a rare combination.
Knowing when to bring in the right people is itself a skill. That's where we come in.
The 2am session. The launch that slipped. The scope that never stopped creeping. We get it — because we've lived it.
Automation isn't a luxury — it's how you get your evenings back. Your cat will thank you.
