For established companies
Outsourced electronic product development for established companies that need it done right, by one accountable US team
Your engineers are booked, a part has gone end-of-life, or the next product needs connectivity your team hasn't built before. We take the project end to end under your contracts, report every week, and assign every file and all the IP to you.

The short answer
When should a company outsource electronic product development?
When the work is real but your team can't take it on: they're fully booked, the deadline is closer than a new hire, or the project needs skills you only need once, like RF, low power or certification. Outsource to one accountable team under your contracts, with the IP assigned to you and progress you can see every week.

FAQ
Questions companies ask before outsourcing product development
Who owns the IP when we outsource product development to you?
You do. All IP and every file are assigned to you on payment, in writing, under our MSA and statement of work.
Will you work under our contracts and NDA?
Yes. We start with a mutual NDA, then work under a master services agreement with a statement of work for each project.
How do we see progress?
You get a written report every week: plan against actual, risks, decisions needed and next week's plan.
Are you certified?
Yes. Inventornest holds ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and ISO 27001 certification.
Do you work on medical devices?
Yes. Our ISO 13485 certification covers medical device design and development.
Can you redesign our product around an obsolete part?
Yes. We redesign the board around available parts, port and test the firmware, and handle re-certification if it's needed.
Can you add IoT or AI to a product we already sell?
Yes. We add connectivity, an app or on-device AI to existing products, and plan the certification changes that come with it.
Can you lower the cost of a product we already make?
Yes. We review the parts list, assembly and packaging for savings, and validate any changes before they reach production.
