Hardware is expensive to get wrong late. Our process is built to surface the expensive problems early, while they’re still cheap, and to give you a clear decision point at the end of every phase.
The process
You can start at any phase and stop after any phase. Each one is scoped and priced on its own, so you never commit to more than the evidence supports.
We pin down what the product must do, who touches it, and what “done” looks like for this build. You leave with a requirements sheet, a risk register and a fixed plan for the next phase.
You bring
You leave with
Parallel concepts, sketch models and works-like rigs that retire the scariest technical risks first. Cheap, fast and deliberately rough.
You bring
You leave with
Full mechanical, electrical and firmware design with DFM baked in from day one. Every drawing and schematic is reviewed by someone who will actually build it.
You bring
You leave with
Our in-house shop turns revisions in days, not weeks. Each build runs through a written test plan (functional, environmental and abuse) before it reaches your desk.
You bring
You leave with
Pilot builds, supplier qualification and a clean NPI package your contract manufacturer can quote against without phoning us.

Engagement models
Most clients start with a sprint or a single phase, then continue. There are no long-term lock-ins.
You have an idea and need to know if it can work, and what it will take.
You know what you’re building and need a team to take it from concept to pilot.
You have an in-house team and need more hands, specialist skills or shop capacity.
The fine print, up front
Everything we create for your project (CAD, schematics, firmware, test data, documentation) is assigned to you. Native files transfer at every milestone, not just the last.
Mutual NDA before any detail changes hands. Client-dedicated locked project rooms, access-controlled file storage, and no portfolio use without written permission.
A short demo every week, with real parts on the table, plus a shared workspace with the live schedule, open issues and every file we’ve produced.
Each phase is fixed-fee against a written scope. If scope changes, we tell you before we spend, with the cost and schedule impact in writing.
Next step
Share as much or as little as you can. A senior engineer reads every inquiry and replies within one business day, usually with a few sharp questions and a suggested first step.
