If you are talking about the components and the circuitry alone, an electronics engineer can probably do the job. However, the product needs a hardware enclosure best designed by an industrial designer or a mechanical engineer specializing in the field. An electronic product with smartphone connectivity features also requires embedded software, so it takes at least a software engineer and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cadcrowd.com\/s\/programmers-and-developers\/app-developers-programmers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"app developers\">app developer<\/a> to ensure everything works as intended.<\/p> <p>Software and mobile app development stages can make a whopping <strong>$100,000 difference in total cost<\/strong>. At the lower end of the spectrum, they don&#8217;t usually involve a complex set of features or a premium app interface design. The app is likely simple, with no more than several commands like a power switch, increase\/decrease power consumption, and notification options. Many simple electronic products have no interface at all.<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cadcrowd.com\/blog\/uploads\/2024\/04\/product-engineering-design-services.png\" alt=\"product-engineering-design-services\" class=\"wp-image-36240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.cadcrowd.com\/blog\/uploads\/2024\/04\/product-engineering-design-services.png 800w, https:\/\/cdn.cadcrowd.com\/blog\/uploads\/2024\/04\/product-engineering-design-services-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.cadcrowd.com\/blog\/uploads\/2024\/04\/product-engineering-design-services-768x288.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-fixed-price-vs-hourly-rate\">Fixed price vs. hourly rate<\/h2> <p>Electronic product design has two payment structures: hourly pay and fixed price. With the former, your payment is indicated by the number of hours the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cadcrowd.com\/s\/engineering\/design-engineering-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"design engineering services\">design engineering team<\/a> works on the project; time-tracking visibility is of the utmost importance. On the other hand, a fixed price is a more straightforward approach because the cost is determined at the beginning.<\/p> <p>Product design firms&#8217; hourly rates vary widely depending on experience, location, and access to any pre-existing intellectual property that might be used to help speed up development time. Some outsourced firms claim an unbelievably affordable rate of <strong>$20 \u2013 $25 per hour<\/strong>. Most design firms in the United States charge an hourly rate of <strong>at least $100 to more than $200<\/strong>.<\/p> <p>The main reason behind such a massive gap in pricing can be explained by the expected turnover time. It makes sense for some firms to charge a low hourly rate because they know the development time would take thousands of work hours. A reputable firm with a professional team of experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cadcrowd.com\/s\/engineering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"engineering design services\">engineers<\/a> can finish the task much quicker.&nbsp;<\/p> <p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cadcrowd.com\/blog\/what-certifications-are-used-for-new-electronic-hardware-products-pcb-design-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"pcb design services\">What certifications are used for new electronic hardware products &amp; PCB design services?<\/a><\/strong><\/p> <p>A fixed price is preferable if you and the firm have a detailed statement of work and project specifications. Remember that even a &#8220;fixed price&#8221; can change if you want to alter or modify the design during development. The best option is to use the hourly rate during the preliminary design phases, where the firm produces a bill of materials and a price quote. Then, you can switch to a fixed price once the project scope is clearly defined.<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-step-by-step-development-process\">Step-by-step development process<\/h2> <p>A typical electronic product development project can be divided into multiple phases, as listed below.<\/p> <ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>Preliminary concept &#8211; $1,000 to $5,000<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol> <p>More than just a rough sketch on a piece of paper, the preliminary design concept of an electronic product is pretty complex already.

For the purpose of early prototyping, it is good to have the model drawn in STL format for 3D printing. The cost of 3D modeling and printing is affected by product size, design complexity, and materials. You may want to use an affordable material (filament) for the first prototypes because you may still have to refine the design.
