Hire the Best Robotics Engineers

I am Chanaka Prasad, Founder and CEO of Idea8, a product development and engineering company specializing in hardware, robotics, IoT, embedded systems, automation, and AI-enabled product development. At Idea8, we help startups, manufacturers, and product companies turn ideas into working prototypes, MVPs, pilot systems, and production-ready solutions. Our team combines electronics, mechanical design, firmware, PCB design, 3D design, software, AI, and manufacturing support under one roof, which allows us to move faster and solve problems end-to-end instead of handing work between disconnected freelancers. What we can help you build: ✅ Hardware product prototypes and MVPs ✅ IoT systems, dashboards, and connected devices ✅ Robotics and automation systems ✅ PCB design and embedded firmware development ✅ ESP32, STM32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Jetson, and custom electronics ✅ Machine vision and AI inspection systems ✅ UAV, rover, and robotic platform development ✅ 3D CAD design, enclosure design, and 3D printing ✅ Manufacturing-ready product development and supplier support Our approach is simple: we do not just “build what is asked.” We first understand the product goal, technical risk, cost target, user environment, and manufacturing path. Then we design the right engineering solution with the correct balance between performance, budget, timeline, and scalability. We are especially strong in projects where hardware, software, firmware, mechanics, and real-world testing need to work together. Many product development projects fail because each part is built separately. Idea8 solves this by managing the complete development process from concept to working prototype and beyond. Core technical capabilities: • Embedded systems and microcontroller programming • Firmware development using C, C++, Python, and related tools • PCB design, schematic design, and electronics integration • IoT platforms using ThingsBoard, Blynk, cloud dashboards, and custom web apps • Robotics, automation, motor control, sensors, and actuator systems • Computer vision, AI inspection, and real-time data systems • SolidWorks, 3D CAD, mechanical design, and enclosure development • 3D printing, rapid prototyping, testing, and product iteration If you are looking for a team that can think like engineers, execute like product builders, and communicate clearly like a long-term technical partner, Idea8 can help. We are best suited for clients who need serious engineering execution, not just basic task completion. Whether you are building a new hardware product, improving an existing system, automating a factory process, or developing an IoT/robotics solution, we can support you from the first prototype to a manufacturable product. Let’s build something real.

I help clients turn early-stage hardware ideas into working prototypes, combining mechanical design, PCB layout, embedded firmware, sourcing, and hands-on debugging I’m a mechanical and electrical engineer with over 10 years of experience, specializing in taking ideas from concept to functional prototype. My career began in industrial design and new product development, where I focused on mechanical systems, custom fixtures, and precision components. Building on that foundation, I expanded into PCB design, embedded systems, and software/firmware design, allowing me to bridge the gap between mechanical and electrical engineering for projects that demand both. My recent work includes CoreSync, a neuroplasticity-driven motor training system; Alerta, a suite of sensors for monitoring elderly patients; the Hair Protractor, a compact ring-mounted tool with integrated PCB and OLED display; and a wireless RGB headphone system with custom electronics and housing. I’ve also designed specialized cryogenic systems, industrial hardware, and automated test devices for labs. Clients value my ability to deliver complex prototypes quickly and reliably. Clients typically see working hardware within about three weeks, depending on complexity. I’ve built lasting relationships with clients like Alerta, where I’ve supported multiple sensor-based devices, and with a wireless headphone company, where I developed a full ecosystem of sensors and user interfaces. My engineering work has been published in the ASME Journal of Medical Devices, and I’ve led designs for organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), giving clients confidence that I can handle demanding technical challenges. If you need an engineer who can design, build, and validate prototypes that work the first time, I can help.

Most CAD files I see from other designers look great in SolidWorks and break the moment someone tries to manufacture them. That's the gap I fill. I design parts that actually work once they're printed, machined, or molded. I have an MS in Robotics and I'm CSWP certified. Over the past 4+ years I've helped startups, engineers, and product teams go from a rough idea to a physical prototype they can hold in their hands. I don't just hand over a STEP file and disappear. I think about tolerances, assembly, material choices, and what happens when your part meets the real world. "Other freelancers tried for weeks and could not identify a solution." (Completed project, 5★) I'm available during US and EU hours and I typically reply within 4 hours. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HERE'S WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH: → Product Design & Prototyping I take your concept (even if it's just a sketch on paper) through 3D modeling, renders, engineering drawings, and all the way to a 3D-printed prototype you can test and show investors. → Mechanical Engineering Tolerance analysis, DFM reviews, material selection. I make sure your design is ready for injection molding, sheet metal, CNC, or 3D printing before it ever leaves my desk. → Robotics Mechanical Design This is where I'm a little different from most CAD freelancers. My robotics background (ROS2, Gazebo, Nav2) means I can design enclosures, chassis, and sensor mounts that actually work with your software stack. Your mechanical and software teams won't be fighting each other. → Design for 3D Printing I design parts specifically for FDM and SLA. Proper wall thickness, snap-fits, support-free orientations, functional fits. I print and test them myself before sending you the files. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TOOLS I USE: SolidWorks (CSWP) · Fusion 360 · Rhino 3D + Grasshopper · Blender KeyShot · Cura · MATLAB · ROS/ROS2 · Arduino · Python ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT IT'S LIKE WORKING WITH ME: → I respond within 4 hours → You'll see a first concept within 48 hours on most projects → I sign NDAs as standard practice → You get native files in whatever format you need → Revisions until you're happy with it ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I WORK BEST WITH: → Startup founders bringing a hardware product to life → Robotics teams that need mechanical design tied into ROS2 → Engineers and PMs looking for a long-term CAD partner → Manufacturers who need reverse engineering or design improvements ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I run The Outlier Co., a small mechanical engineering and design studio. If you've got something you're working on, send me a message. Even if it's just a rough idea or a photo of a napkin sketch. I'll get back to you within a few hours with what I think it'll take, how long, and what it'll cost. No copy-paste proposals.
