We do the work other vendors weren't built for.
Hard goals · Prototype hardware · Ambiguous briefs
Engineering PhDs · Production and UX staff
Custom-built programs · Real-world results
We operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and operations. We don't write the model, design the chip, or build the robot. We run the programs that bridge our client's ambitions and real-world results. Research to production. Hard programs with no existing template. We own the full program.
Hardware data collection, prototype evaluation, structured user studies, longitudinal cohorts. We write the protocol, recruit the participants, run the sites, and ship the deliverable. Whatever form that takes.
Execution bandwidth or full program leadership, we embed. PMs, ops leads, and field staff who have already shipped this kind of work. We can run against an existing plan, or design and own the whole program ourselves.
Autonomous vehicles. Robotics. Multimodal AI. Pre-release hardware. NDA-grade environments with proven information security practices. We've been here before.
US-based leadership on every program. For domestic work, all staff are US-based W-2 employees. For international programs, we deploy our own staff onsite and collaborate with a trusted bench of vetted global partners, without splitting the point of contact. One vendor, regardless of where the work runs.
We work where the program requires. Client sites, hotels, venues, private residences, outdoor environments, a ski lodge if the program calls for it. For programs that benefit from a more traditional setup, we also have access to configurable lab spaces in New York and Los Angeles. We source it, configure it, and run it.
Soqono is built around people who have shipped programs at companies like Exponent, Cruise, and Bird. Engineering PhDs, production leads, and UX staff who have done this kind of work before, at scale, on the most challenging programs.
That experience is on every engagement — not handed off to a junior team once the contract is signed. Senior execution, full accountability, and delivery that matches the ambition.
One team. One contract. One number to call.
