IoT Development Company in Seattle

The range is wide because the work varies this much: a scoped IoT proof of concept at Seattle rates, a production fleet build (firmware, OTA, cloud, edge, security baseline), or full enterprise fleets with 5G slicing, computer vision at the edge, and multi-region cloud. Scope drivers include firmware on a dev kit, an AWS IoT Core or Azure IoT Hub control plane, and a hosted dashboard. Seattle rates sit above Chicago and Atlanta because of the Amazon and Microsoft talent premium, but below San Francisco. We give fixed-fee proposals rather than open T and M.

Both, and we will tell you which fits your case in discovery rather than defaulting to whichever we sold last quarter. AWS IoT Core (with Greengrass v2, SiteWise, FleetWise, Device Defender) is the Seattle default for consumer devices, connected vehicles, and Amazon-adjacent ecosystems. Azure IoT Hub (with IoT Edge, Digital Twins, Defender for IoT, Azure Sphere) is the default for Microsoft enterprise customers, Boeing-tier aerospace, and OT environments that need Defender for IoT's industrial protocol coverage (Modbus, DNP3, BACnet, Siemens S7). For Starbucks-style retail fleets we have shipped on both. We avoid lock-in by abstracting business logic above the broker and using OPC UA or MQTT 5 as the device-side contract.

The Washington My Health My Data Act (MHMDA) took effect March 2024 and treats consumer health data, including biometric identifiers, heart rate, sleep, and reproductive data, as protected with a private right of action. For wearables, connected fitness, and any IoT collecting biometrics from Washington residents, we run a MHMDA scope review in discovery, implement opt-in consent with the specific disclosures the statute requires, geofence Washington users for opt-in flows where the device knows location, log every data sale or sharing event, and route biometric processing through US regions with no cross-border egress by default. Sale of consumer health data is effectively prohibited without separate explicit consent. We document the MHMDA controls in a privacy posture review your legal team can attach to the product launch.

Yes. For tier-one and tier-two Boeing suppliers and other DoD primes, we ship IoT under CMMC 2.0 Level 2 controls covering the 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices. Edge gateways run hardened Linux with FIPS 140-3 validated crypto, AWS GovCloud (US) or Azure Government Cloud as the control plane, ITAR data handling boundaries documented in the system security plan, and CUI markings preserved through telemetry pipelines. We provide a CMMC assessment package (SSP, POA&M, evidence library) and coordinate with your C3PAO for the formal assessment. We have built to FedRAMP Moderate baseline patterns and can extend to High when required, and we keep all CUI inside US person handling boundaries by default.

Yes. Seattle consumer device launches almost always need Matter 1.3 interoperability now, because Echo, HomeKit, Google Home, and SmartThings have converged on Matter as the baseline. We build Matter over Wi-Fi and Matter over Thread devices on Nordic nRF52840 and nRF7002, Espressif ESP32-H2 and ESP32-C6, and NXP RW612, with the Connectivity Standards Alliance certification path (PICS, test plan, certified product registration) included in scope. For Apple HomeKit-only paths we hold MFi access through partner accounts. We also handle Amazon's Frustration-Free Setup (FFS) and Sidewalk integration when your device targets the Echo ecosystem, with the AWS IoT Core backend already wired.

Yes. For Class II connected medical devices targeting Seattle medtech and Philips Healthcare Seattle-adjacent submissions, we build to the FDA premarket cybersecurity guidance (September 2023) and to FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality system regulation. Deliverables include a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) in CycloneDX or SPDX format, a threat model aligned with AAMI TIR57 and IEC 81001-5-1, a documented secure development lifecycle, post-market vulnerability disclosure process, and a coordinated patch and OTA strategy that does not break the predicate device claim. We are not a regulatory consultancy, your RA/QA lead owns the submission, but we deliver the technical artefacts to plug straight into a 510(k) or De Novo package.

T-Mobile (Bellevue HQ) and Verizon's Seattle 5G engineering teams have made network slicing real for industrial customers in the Pacific Northwest, with private 5G and slice-as-a-service options for warehouses, ports, and stadiums. We integrate devices via T-Mobile DevEdge or Verizon ThingSpace APIs, provision SIM and eSIM at scale through Soracom or Twilio Super SIM when multi-carrier resilience matters, and configure slice profiles for URLLC (low latency control), eMBB (high bandwidth video), or mMTC (massive low-power telemetry). Port of Seattle and Tacoma logistics customers see meaningful gains from URLLC slices for AGV control; retail and stadium customers benefit from eMBB for AR and crowd analytics. We document the slice SLA and failover to LTE-M cleanly.

A typical Seattle consumer or industrial IoT product runs sixteen to thirty weeks from kickoff to first production batch, assuming certification (FCC Part 15, Matter, UL) sits inside scope rather than pre-cleared. Weeks 1 to 4 are discovery, threat model, schematic review, and dev kit firmware. Weeks 5 to 12 are firmware, AWS IoT Core or Azure IoT Hub cloud build, edge gateway integration, and OTA pipeline. Weeks 13 to 20 are EVT, DVT, FCC and Matter pre-scan, and contract manufacturer onboarding. Weeks 21 to 30 are PVT, certification submission, and pilot deployment. Aerospace and medical schedules add eight to sixteen weeks for CMMC or FDA artefacts. We have shipped to this cadence with Pacific Northwest CMs and Asia-based PCB houses.
