Engagement models for outsourced engineering services
I place emphasis on delivering the right solutions for clients. These are some methodologies for outsourcing your electronic product development project.
- Turnkey project deliveries: I arrange everything on behalf of the client and deliver a fully developed product solution, and manage the project through to delivery from manufacture.
- Project management services: I manage the project for the client and provide technical leadership. This can be either on site at the client's premises or working with multi-discipline third party partners in multi-sites across the globe.
- Outsourced development: I can take on specific parts of a product development, electronic design, or other engineering services in a consultancy capacity.
