2026-08-28: hero swapped again (hero-lab-wide -> hero-real-bench) and this preload was NOT updated with it, which silently reintroduced the exact bug above — preloading an image the page no longer renders while the real hero went unpreloaded. If you change Hero.tsx's background, change this line in the same commit. -->

Three Ways to Work With Us

Every engagement starts with understanding your constraint. Pick the level that fits.

Start Here

Design Review or Scoping Study

$3K–$6K

One to two weeks, fixed fee. We read what you already have — schematics, firmware, a vendor's package — and tell you what we would do about it, in writing.

  • Architecture or design review with a risk map
  • Regulatory pathway read, where it applies
  • BOM and supply-chain risk check
  • Written, prioritised plan you keep either way

The full two-week Constraint Capture Sprint, covering every technical, regulatory and timeline risk, is $6,000.

Most Common
Execution

One Board, One Deliverable

$8K–$20K

Three to eight weeks, fixed fee, one clearly bounded outcome: a board laid out, a firmware feature finished, a fault found, a subsystem brought up on hardware.

  • Principal engineer does the work, not just the review
  • Weekly deliverables you can actually run
  • Milestone-gated payments
  • Source, documentation and test evidence handed over

Most of our long-running accounts started here and grew one scope at a time.

Full Program

Multi-Phase Product Development

Quoted per phase

Concept through production-ready design. Priced and gated one phase at a time, so you are never committing budget to work we have not yet scoped properly.

  • Full system architecture ownership
  • Regulatory-ready design (IEC / FDA)
  • V&V plus production transition support
  • Manufacturing partner coordination

Prefer a standing relationship instead? Fractional hardware leadership runs from $1,900/month.
