Industrial Hardware Prototyping Specialists
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
My team builds bespoke industrial equipment and to date every chassis, PCB, and line of firmware has been produced in-house. As we scale, I want to assemble a reliable shortlist of external partners who can jump in when workload or lead-times demand it, specifically for the design and prototyping stage of new products.
The scope spans three tightly-linked disciplines:
• Mechanical engineering – rugged enclosures, heat management, motion components
• Electrical engineering – board-level design, power distribution, compliance-ready layouts
• Firmware development – microcontroller code, hardware abstraction layers, rapid bring-up
To make the shortlist, please share:
• A concise portfolio of comparable industrial projects (photos, schematics, or code snippets are fine).
• A brief outline of your toolchain—e.g., SolidWorks/Fusion, Altium/KiCad, STM32Cube/MPLAB, C/C++, MicroPython/Python, etc.—and any lab resources you own for rapid prototyping.
• Typical turnaround times for first articles and the engagement model you prefer (fixed scope, time-and-materials, mixed).
• Any certifications, testing facilities, or partnerships that help you hit CE, UL, or similar marks early in the cycle.
I will review every submission for technical depth, clarity of communication, and fit with our existing processes.
