Hardware Partner

You need PCB work every month, but not a full-time hire. I work as your PCB designer on demand: new boards, revisions and reviews when you need them.

From $1,500/month

20 or 40 hours per month, reserved for you.

Plans

  • 20 hours per month

    $1,500/month

    20 hours reserved for you every month, with priority over new projects. Unused hours move to the next month for support and maintenance.

  • 40 hours per month

    $2,800/month

    40 hours reserved for you every month, with priority over new projects. Unused hours move to the next month for support and maintenance.

Who it is for

  • Teams that make several board revisions per year.
  • Companies with a hardware roadmap but no hardware engineer.
  • Startups that want one person who knows their boards over time.
  • Teams with their own PCB designer who need extra help at busy times.

What you get

  • 20 or 40 hours reserved for you every month, with priority over new projects.
  • Ongoing PCB design, revisions and reviews.
  • One designer who knows your products.
  • The same deliverables as PCB Design, for every board.
  • Unused hours move to the next month for support and maintenance.

    You send the work, I deliver the boards.

Questions

How is it different from PCB Design?

PCB Design is one project with one quote. Hardware Partner is a monthly plan for teams with ongoing PCB work.

What happens to the hours I do not use?

They move to the next month as support and maintenance hours, for small changes and questions about your boards. They expire at the end of that month.

How do we start?

Send me a short message about your products and plans. If it is a good fit, we book a call to agree the scope.

Can you sign an NDA?

Yes. Most clients ask for one, and I sign it before you share any files. Send me your NDA with your first message.

  • Confidential by default: I sign your NDA before you share any files.
  • You get a fixed quote before I start, after I check your schematic or requirements. No surprises after.
  • Prices in US dollars. Taxes not included.
  • Extra services: firmware development and hardware testing, quoted separately.

Need a PCB designer, without a full-time hire?

Startup, scale-up, product company or entrepreneur? Tell me what you need. I reply within 1 business day, and you get a fixed quote once I see your files.
