Prototype & Design‑for‑Manufacturing Sprints for Hardware Startups
I help teams turn unclear ideas into testable prototypes and production‑ready designs through fixed‑scope, time‑boxed sprints that reduce risk before costs spiral.
Functional prototype you can test, demo, or quote
Walk away with working hardware that validates your concept and enables real-world testing.
DFM feedback that reduces cost and assembly risk
Identify expensive design choices early and simplify for manufacturability before tooling.
Clear next‑step roadmap your team can execute
Get actionable guidance on what to build next, what to avoid, and how to move forward confidently.
16+ years building shipped hardware across robotics, medical devices, and connected products.
Fixed‑Scope Sprints
All work is defined up front with clear deliverables, timeline, and fixed pricing.
Prototype Sprint
2–4 weeksTurn your concept into a working prototype that validates feasibility and enables testing.
- Architecture and feasibility review
- Prototype or focused integration work
- Risk reduction and decision clarity
DFM Sprint
2–4 weeksPrepare your design for manufacturing with cost optimization and vendor readiness.
- CAD and BOM review
- Identify cost and assembly drivers
- Simplification and vendor‑readiness guidance
Simple, Structured Process
From first conversation to final handoff in four clear steps.
