ABOUT US

Like the legendary Sasquatch, we operate behind the scenes—powerful but unobtrusive—so our clients’ systems and successes remain in the spotlight. Our focus is on engineering stability and performance, not attention.

OUR STORY

Sasquatch Solutions is the culmination of lifelong pursuits of engineering challenges and adventures. We're the kind of kids who took apart car engines, built parachutes out of trash bags, and rigged our bikes with arresting hooks to catch a cable at the bottom of a hill—just like a plane landing on an aircraft carrier.

 

The company was founded by Tom and Marie, two researchers looking to bring aerospace technologies into other industries for the fun of it, and to do some good along the way. Like the legendary Sasquatch, we operate behind the scenes: powerful but unobtrusive, so our clients' systems and successes remain in the spotlight. Our focus is on engineering stability and performance, not attention. We strive to tame complex vibration issues and make engineering solutions approachable for everyone we work with.
