How to Outsource Product Development

Predictable Designs Podcast · 21 Dec 2022 · 19m

What this episode covers

Host John Teel explains how to outsource electronic product development by balancing experience, cost, location, and trust. He advises hiring specialized engineers with relevant product experience, using independent design reviews to mitigate risk, and paying via fixed-price milestones to control budget. Teel also distinguishes between proof-of-concept prototypes using off-the-shelf modules and manufacturable custom PCB designs, warning against switching software like Altium or Eagle mid-project.

    IDology #4 - Tips on outsourcing product development

    Rafał Piłat, co-founder and senior designer at Mindsailors, explains how companies should prepare for outsourcing product development and what to expect from an industrial design studio. He details Mindsailors' six-stage process, emphasizing the need to educate clients on realistic timelines and the importance of clear communication to manage expectations. Piłat argues that hiring a studio over a freelancer provides crucial manufacturing expertise and a broader scope of talent, reducing the risk of unbuildable designs. He also highlights that R&D can sometimes conclude that a project is technically impossible, which is a valid and valuable outcome.

    142: Preparing Your Product for Manufacturing Overseas

    Mike Deigan, Vice President at Global Link Sourcing, explains that inventors must provide a design ready for manufacturing, including detailed engineering and electronics footprints, rather than just a visual concept. He contrasts the risks of sourcing directly via Alibaba—where traders, quality issues, and payment terms create disaster—with the safety and expertise of using established agencies. Deigan emphasizes that proper design for manufacturing (DFM) requires 80% of the effort on engineering and prototyping to avoid costly errors and ensure a viable product.

    Cheap Respins And A Time Machine - Multiscience Mercenary Marketplace

    Hosts Chris Gammell and Dave Jones discuss the economics of hardware startups, with Jones explaining why he avoids distributors to maintain margins on his microcurrent products. They analyze emerging 'mercenary' marketplaces like ProtoExchange and Google Helpout for electronics consulting, contrasting the high-stress, billable-hour lifestyle of contract engineers with the stability of corporate roles. The conversation shifts to PCB design failures, where Gammell details a footprint error in his 'Bench Buddy' course project, leading to a discussion on the necessity of cheap respins and the psychological traps of design verification. Finally, they touch on the commoditization of chip design via services like MOSIS and the future of space exploration with SpaceX.

    205: Advances in Electronic Product Engineering Methods

    Tomide Adesanmi, founder of Circuit Mind, explains how hardware startups are outpacing large corporations in electronics innovation by leveraging agile design processes and modern tools. He details the traditional electronic product development lifecycle, from requirements and component selection to schematic capture, PCB design, and multiple prototype iterations (EVT, DVT, PVT). Adesanmi highlights the archaic nature of legacy hardware engineering compared to software and introduces Circuit Mind’s platform, which uses deterministic algorithms to automate schematic generation and optimize designs for cost, power, and supply chain availability.
