WHO WE WORK WITH
Whether you have a sketch on a napkin or a prototype that needs engineering — we've helped founders at every stage turn their vision into a real product.
INVENTOR/MAKER
STARTUP FOUNDER
PRODUCT MANAGER
You have an idea and a vision
You know what your product should do and who it's for. You might have sketches, a rough proof of concept, or just a clear problem you want to solve. That's enough to start — we work from here.
Typically needs: ID design, electronics engineering, full NPI package
__________________________
You have a prototype that needs engineering
Your breadboard or 3D-printed concept works, but it's not manufacturable. You need someone to translate it into a real PCB layout, a proper enclosure, and a production-ready BOM — without starting from scratch.
__________________________
Typically needs: PCB layout, DFM review, enclosure design, prototyping support
You have a spec but no engineering team
You know exactly what you want to build. You have a product requirements document, a target cost, and a launch date. What you don't have is in-house hardware engineers. We become your outsourced product development team.
__________________________
Focused design services, DFM review, manufacturing handoff
Whichever stage you're at — we'll tell you honestly what you need and what you don't. No upselling, no scope creep, no surprises.
WHAT WE DO
A complete engineering package — from concept to manufacturable design
Five integrated disciplines — handled in-house, delivered as a unified package. Pick what you need or take the full suite.
Industrial Design
PCB layout and Gerber file review
Component availability and lead time analysis
BOM cost reduction recommendations
Enclosure and mechanical design review
Assembly sequence and tolerance stack-up analysis
Written findings with prioritized action items
Your product's enclosure is the first thing a customer touches. We design plastic and metal housings that look great, protect the electronics inside, and are optimized for the manufacturing process — whether that's injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, or CNC machining.
Electronics Engineering
Industrial design is where your product gets its physical identity — the shape, the feel, the way a user interacts with it. We create 2D concept sketches and full 3D CAD models that balance aesthetics, ergonomics, and manufacturing constraints from the very first draft.
2D concept sketches and mood boards
3D CAD modeling (SolidWorks / Fusion 360)
Ergonomics and user interaction design
Material and surface finish specification
Design for manufacturability from day one
Engineering drawing package for production
Enclosure & Mold Design
This is where your product's brain gets designed. We take your functional requirements and turn them into a complete electronics package — from component selection and schematic capture through to multi-layer PCB layout optimized for your manufacturing process.
Schematic capture and circuit design
Component selection and BOM development
Single to 8-layer PCB layout
Signal integrity and EMC design considerations
Thermal management and power distribution
Design rule check (DRC); electrical rules check (ERC)
STEP files · IGES files · DXF drawings · Concept sketches PDF · Engineering drawings
Gerber files · ODB++ files · Schematic PDF · BOM (Excel/CSV) · Pick & place file · Assembly drawings
Mold design package · STEP files · Tooling drawings · Mold flow report · Assembly drawings
DFM Review
Design for Manufacturability review is the single highest-ROI step in any product development process. We analyze your existing design files against real manufacturing constraints — catching issues before they become rework costs, tooling changes, or delayed launches.
Plastic enclosure design for injection molding
Draft angles, wall thickness, and parting line optimization
Metal enclosure design for sheet metal or CNC
Snap fits, bosses, and mechanical interface design
Mold flow analysis before tooling commitment
IP rating design (IP54, IP65, IP67 where required)
DFM report (PDF) · Annotated Gerber review · BOM cost analysis · Priority issue list · Revision recommendations
Prototyping Support
Getting from design files to a physical prototype is where most first-time founders lose time and money. We coordinate the entire prototype build using our Shenzhen manufacturing network — managing the PCB fab, assembly, enclosure production, and first article inspection so you don't have to.

Discovery call
30-60 min
We learn about your product, your goals, your timeline, and your budget. You find out if we're the right fit. No charge, no commitment required.
We define the exact deliverables, timeline, and fixed-price quote. NDA signed before any files are shared. No surprises after you say yes.
Scope & proposal
2-3 days
Concept & architecture
Industrial design concepts and electronics architecture defined and documented. You review and approve before any detailed design work begins.
1-2 weeks
Detailed design
Full PCB layout, 3D enclosure CAD, BOM development, and mold design if applicable. Milestone reviews keep you informed at every stage.
2-4 weeks
3-5 days
DFM review & handoff
Final design reviewed against manufacturing constraints. All files packaged and transferred to you — you own everything before production begins.
Prototype build
We coordinate the first physical build using our Shenzhen network. First article inspection documented. Design iterations incorporated based on real-world results.
2-3 weeks
Typical total timeline: 8-16 weeks
Timeline varies based on project complexity and revision cycles. Simple products move faster; products requiring certification support take longer.
Your IP is protected from day one
We sign a mutual NDA before any project discussion, file sharing, or scoping begins. All design files, Gerber files, CAD models, and tooling belong to you upon milestone completion — not withheld pending future orders. We do not reuse, reference, or share your designs with other clients.
Fixed-price quotes — no scope creep
Every project begins with a written scope of work and a fixed price. We don't bill by the hour and we don't add charges after you've agreed to a proposal. If the scope changes, we discuss it openly and agree on the adjustment before proceeding.
Your approval at every milestone
Nothing moves from concept to detailed design, or from design to prototype, without your explicit approval. You review and sign off at Steps 3, 4, and 5. If something isn't right, we revise before proceeding — not after you've already paid for the next stage.
THE SHENZHEN ADVANTAGE
Designed where it will be built
Most product development firms design in one country and manufacture in another. We do both in Shenzhen — and the difference shows up in your timeline, your BOM cost, and your first-pass yield.
Shenzhen's manufacturing ecosystem — everything your product needs within 50km
No translation loss between design and factory
When your product is designed and manufactured in the same ecosystem, nothing gets lost between the engineering team and the factory floor. Tolerances, material choices, component footprints, and process constraints are baked into the design from the first draft — because the people making the design decisions work with the same factories that will build your product.
Design-to-factory gap: the #1 cause of first-article failures
Designs built around components that actually exist
Our engineers design with live BOM pricing and component availability in mind. We don't design around a component and discover it has a 40-week lead time or costs 4× more in China. Every component selection happens with Shenzhen market pricing and availability as a primary constraint — not an afterthought.
Average BOM cost reduction vs. Western-sourced designs: 30–45%
Iteration cycles measured in weeks, not months
Design revision to physical prototype in 2–3 weeks. In a Western market the same cycle takes 6–8 weeks — longer if components need to be imported. Speed compounds across iterations: three cycles in Shenzhen equal one cycle working through a Western design house and offshore manufacturer separately.
Shenzhen prototype cycle: 2–3 weeks · Western equivalent: 6–8 weeks
Zero re-engineering when you move to production
When you're ready to scale from prototype to production, nothing needs to be re-engineered for Chinese manufacturing. The files are already factory-ready — PCB layouts optimized for local assembly processes, enclosures designed for local tooling capabilities, BOMs built around locally available components.
Typical re-engineering cost when switching from Western to Chinese CM: $8,000–$25,000

WHAT YOU RECEIVE
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR IP
NDA signed before any project discussion
We sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement before you share any information about your product — including during the initial scoping conversation. You don't need to tell us anything confidential to find out if we're the right fit. The NDA comes first.
Design files are transferred to you at each project milestone — not accumulated and released only at the end, and not withheld pending future orders. After concept approval you receive concept files. After design completion you receive all design files. You own what has been created at every stage.
Files transferred at each milestone
Your designs never leave your project
We do not reuse your designs for other clients, reference them as examples without your permission, or share them with third parties — including our own manufacturing partners — beyond what is necessary to execute your project. Every subcontractor involved in your project signs a confidentiality agreement before receiving any project files.
We support your patent registration process
If you are pursuing patent protection, utility model registration, or design registration for your product, we provide whatever documentation, drawings, and declarations are required. We have supported clients through patent processes in the US, EU, and China.
CASE STUDY
From napkin sketch to retail-ready product
A real project. Real challenges. Real numbers. Here's how a three-person hardware startup went from a concept to a trade show launch in 14 weeks.
We had a sketch, a rough prototype, and a tight deadlinefor our first trade show. Peakingtech turned our idea intoa real product-faster and better than we expected.
-- Ovidiu Mija, CEO & founder of HOOBS Inc.
We managed supplier coordination, optimized the electronics architecture, and reduced key module costs—using Shenzhen's ecosystem to bring the product to production.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Questions about working with Peakingtech
Can't find what you're looking for? Send us your question directly — we respond within 24 hours.
Q1: Do I need to have a finished design before working with you?
It depends on which stage you're at. For a design stage quote, a description of your product, a rough sketch or concept document, and your target specifications (size, power source, key features) is enough. For a prototype quote, we need your design files — Gerber files for PCB work, STEP files for enclosures, and your BOM. For a production quote, we need your approved prototype files and your target volume and timeline.
If you're not sure what files you have or what format they're in, send us what you have and we'll tell you what's missing. Don't let uncertainty about the right format stop you from reaching out.
Q2: What information do I need to provide to get a quote?
Not at all — and most of our clients don't. We work with founders at every stage, from a hand-drawn sketch or a product requirements document all the way through to production-ready design files. If you have an idea and can describe what your product should do, that's enough to start a conversation. We'll tell you honestly what the next step looks like and what it will cost.
The only thing we ask is that you have a clear sense of the problem your product solves — the engineering we can figure out together.
Q4: How do you protect my IP when I share my designs with you?
Yes — and this is more common than you might think. We regularly take over projects from other engineers, review existing designs, and continue development from wherever the previous team left off. We'll start with a DFM review of your existing files to identify any issues before we proceed — this costs $500 and gives you a clear picture of what needs to change and what can stay as-is.
Q3: Can you work with my existing design files from another engineer or firm?
We sign a mutual NDA before any project discussion — including during the initial scoping call where you tell us about your product. You don't need to share any confidential files until the NDA is in place.
Beyond the NDA: all design files are transferred to you at each project milestone — they are not withheld pending future orders. We do not reuse, reference, or share your designs with other clients. Every subcontractor involved in your project — PCB fabs, enclosure manufacturers, component suppliers — signs a confidentiality agreement before receiving any project files.
Tell us about your product idea
We review every inquiry personally and respond within 24 hours. No commitment required — just a conversation about what you're building and how we can help.
