Frequently Asked Questions

Save time and find answers fast. Our comprehensive FAQs section is designed to quickly resolve your most common technical and procedural queries.

This question is asked a lot- the truth is that we really can’t tell you until we understand the entire picture - your goals and requirements. There is no typical cost, and all projects are unique. Our programs range from tens of thousands to over a million. 

Bluefin’s experience includes complex scientific instrumentation, consumer products, defense systems, electronics, biometric devices, medical products, wearable devices, RF sensors, and more. The common thread is embedded electronics, from simple handheld devices to highly complex electromechanical systems.

Absolutely! Many clients come to us at the earliest stage. Bluefin helps to clarify requirements, assess feasibility, and develop a roadmap toward a manufacturable design. Earlier in the process is better because we can have a greater impact on the outcome. 

Bluefin often acts as an extension of internal R&D, adding bandwidth or domain expertise in areas such as industrial design, microelectronics, RF design, embedded firmware, or ruggedization. We collaborate seamlessly using shared documentation, version control, and design review processes.

Bluefin will collaborate with you to design your product, help you plan for manufacturing, assist you in selecting manufacturing partners, and support you in the transition to assure smooth production. Bluefin can provide a limited number of pre-production prototypes, but not full manufacturing. 

Unless otherwise agreed, the client owns all IP developed under contract.
