FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about how engagements work, what we cover, and where to start.
What industries does Techshlok work with?
Defence, Automotive, and Consumer Electronics — see the Industries section for sector-specific detail.
Do you offer staff augmentation as well as project-based work?
Yes — Extended Engineering Teams is our dedicated-staffing model; Hardware and Firmware Engineering are task-based project engagements.
What's the difference between Extended Engineering Teams and a project engagement?
Extended Engineering Teams places a dedicated embedded engineer or team with you, working from our in-house lab as an extension of your company. Hardware and Firmware Engineering are scoped, task-based projects with a defined deliverable instead.
Can I trial an engineer before committing to a long-term engagement?
Yes — Extended Engineering Teams includes a 7-day free trial before any longer-term commitment, so you can evaluate technical depth, communication, and fit first.
Do you only work with large, established companies?
No — engagements are tailored by stage: startups typically need fixed-scope speed to MVP, midscale companies need DFM and supply-chain-aware scaling, and enterprises need dedicated teams and long-term reliability engineering.
Can you help certify a product we've already built?
Yes, through Compliance & Certification Consulting — independent, lab-backed verification and validation, distinct from the hardware/firmware design work itself.
