RBB Systems, USA Firmware Announce Engineering Partnership
March 16, 2026 | RBBEstimated reading time: 1 minute
RBB, a trusted leader in electronics manufacturing since 1973, has entered into a new partnership with USA Firmware, an engineering firm specializing in embedded systems, firmware development, and product design.
The collaboration brings together USA Firmware’s expertise in embedded engineering with RBB Systems’ capabilities in electronics manufacturing, creating a more streamlined path for companies developing new electronic products.
Through the partnership, customers working with USA Firmware on product design, firmware, and embedded systems development will have a clear transition to RBB Systems as their products move into production. RBB Systems will support small- and medium-volume manufacturing programs, helping customers scale production while maintaining close collaboration with the engineering teams that developed the product.
Based in the Cleveland area, USA Firmware focuses on embedded systems engineering, firmware development, and hardware design for connected and intelligent devices. The company works with organizations across multiple industries to design and develop complex electronic systems and bring new products to market.
“RBB Systems brings deep expertise in electronics manufacturing and a long history of supporting complex products in production,” said Bob Scaccia, CEO & Founder, USA Firmware. “Their ability to work closely with engineering teams helps ensure the products we develop can move smoothly from design into scalable manufacturing.”
RBB Systems provides electronics manufacturing services and engineering support to companies requiring flexible production capabilities, particularly for low-to-mid volume manufacturing programs. By working closely with engineering partners, RBB helps ensure that products designed for innovation can be efficiently transitioned into reliable, scalable production.
“Engineering and manufacturing work best when they’re closely connected,” said Bruce Hendrick, Owner and CEO of RBB Systems. “Partnering with USA Firmware helps ensure the products they design are built with manufacturing in mind from the start.”
While USA Firmware continues to collaborate with multiple manufacturing partners depending on project scale, RBB Systems will serve as a key partner for projects requiring small- and medium-volume production.
As companies continue to develop increasingly sophisticated electronic products, closer collaboration between engineering and manufacturing partners is becoming essential. This partnership allows both companies to better support customers navigating the full product lifecycle—from initial concept and development to production and delivery.
