    I’m Kevin. I design things. Over the last ten years I have taken over twenty commercial products from concept to manufacture while navigating startup challenges along the way. I am “practical” above all else. A team player and easy to communicate with, I am able to take rough concepts and deliver them as working products or prototypes with minimal cost and hassle. My specialty is electronic hardware design, though most projects involve physical or mechanical parts as well. This is my full time job, working from my dedicated workshop near Portland, Oregon. I have in-house capability for most aspects of bringing up new designs and fabricating one-off devices or prototypes. We have high resolution SLA 3D printing (UV resin), a large 4x8’ production CNC machine suitable for plastics and most aluminum, and plenty of bench/floor space for your project. I have relationships with various local machine shops and test labs, so extra support is convenient if needed. I work in Altium Designer for schematic and PCB board layout, and use Solidworks or Autodesk Fusion for physical component design and working with complex physical assemblies. I have designed many injection molded parts, stamped metal parts, etc. Many of my products involve radio so I’m familiar with the FCC test lab process for both module based radios and custom designs. I have designed Internet of Things IoT products, wireless mesh networking, and low cost proprietary point to point radios. I am intermediate level coding on small 8 to 32 bit microprocessors in C,C++. My code is extremely "human readable" and cleanly documented. I have solid experience with Mircochip PIC processors, Atmel, STM32, and MSP430. I have written several low level handlers for custom board hardware and protocols. If you’re looking for a competent person that is easy and reliable to work with, and who will handle your project as if it were their own, let’s chat and see what happens. Electronics: -Embedded Hardware Design -PCB Circuit Board Design -Low-level Microprocessor Coding, C, C++, Python -Radio Wireless Communications and Certification -Internet of Things, IoT, Mesh Networking, Zigbee -Robotics -Automation -Short Run PCB Assembly -Prototyping and Test Fixtures (in house) -Reverse Engineering, Proprietary Protocols -Testing, Debugging, Product Validation Mechanical: -Solidworks -Autodesk Inventor / Fusion360 -Complex Assembly Design -Process, Testing, and Assembly Fixtures -Injection Molding -High Resolution SLA 3D Printing (in house) -CNC Machining (in house) -Industrial Processing Fixtures -Plastics Fabrication (Tanks, Jigs, Wet Processing, etc.) -Rapid Prototypes and 3D Printing for Industrial Parts -Moving Parts, Gearing, Bearings, etc. Support Services: -Connections with Contract Manufacturers -Crowdfunding, I've raised approx $400k via Kickstarter, Indiegogo -Relationships with Asian and China Manufacturers -Injection Molding & Stamped Metal Parts from Asia -Patent Experience (I hold 7 Patents)

How to Hire Top Product Developers

How to hire product developers

Whether you’re creating a physical or digital product, you need someone who can track and manage your product’s journey from conception to delivery. 

So how do you hire product developers? Here are some tips for finding top product developers on Upwork.

How to shortlist product development professionals

As you’re browsing available product development consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles using criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a product developer who understands the nuances and technical challenges of developing a product for your industry. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., Lean Six Sigma certification for manufacturing a product).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular product developer.

How to write an effective product development job post

With a clear picture of your ideal product developer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective product development job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From requirements gathering to project management, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or project management tools, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

PRODUCT DEVELOPER FAQ

What is product development?

Product development is the process of moving a product from ideation to market release. 

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in product development professionals:

  • Product development 
  • Project management
  • Software development lifecycle for digital products
  • CAD (computer-aided design) for physical products
  • Industry-specific expertise (e.g., SolidWorks for developing an aerospace product)

Why hire product developers?

The trick to finding top product developers is to identify your needs. Is your goal to set up an Agile software development workflow at your business? Or do you need help with product data management for the design and development of a physical product? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life. 

How much does it cost to hire a product developer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced product developer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their product development more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
