I help clients transform a breadboard, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, STM32, or module-based proof of concept into compact, cost-aware, production-ready custom electronics.
This service is ideal for Inventors, startups, university spinouts, proof-of-concept teams. It is structured for commercially serious projects where reliability, performance, documentation, communication, and production readiness matter more than simply completing a drawing.
SERVICE SCOPE
✅ Existing prototype review, requirements capture, architecture refinement, and risk identification
✅ Selection of the correct MCU/MPU/module strategy based on performance, quantities, firmware, sourcing, cost, and development risk
✅ Replacement of adapters, breakout boards, temporary wiring, oversized power modules, and unnecessary interfaces
✅ Custom circuit and PCB design with protection, programming, debug, test points, connectors, and enclosure constraints
✅ BOM optimization, DFM, DFA, DFT, assembly planning, prototype bring-up, and validation
✅ Manufacturing handover with complete editable and production files
WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
✅ Productization architecture and custom schematic/PCB
✅ Manufacturing BOM and fabrication/assembly package
✅ Prototype test plan, bring-up support, and handover documentation
ENGINEERING APPROACH
I normally begin by reviewing the product objective, development stage, available files, interfaces, expected quantities, enclosure constraints, operating environment, compliance targets, and the client’s main technical concern. For complex work, architecture review and finalization are completed before detailed circuit or PCB design begins.
A functioning proof of concept does not automatically provide safe power behaviour, EMI/EMC robustness, manufacturability, component longevity, production test access, field protection, or repeatable performance. These gaps are addressed during productization.
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
This service is suitable for founders who have demonstrated functionality and now need hardware that can be assembled, tested, enclosed, and scaled.
Projects may be completed hourly or through clearly defined milestones. Components, fabrication, assembly, shipping, laboratory certification, paid software/services, and other third-party costs are separate unless specifically included.
To receive an accurate scope, please share the product requirements, existing schematic or PCB files, block diagram, datasheets, mechanical information, expected deliverables, target schedule, and any known technical issues.
