Add engineering capacity without growing your team.

Add engineering capacity without growing your team.

Your studio keeps the client relationship and the creative ownership. Geniotek adds the engineering and manufacturing follow-through needed to move a product from design intent into production decisions.

Operating model

Same project. Different operating model.

Three moments that determine who carries the delivery work.

Operating moment

Studio only

With Geniotek

01

Technical decisions

Engineering questions return to your team.

Feasibility decisions move in parallel.

02

Prototype changes

Coordinate handoffs and revision loops.

We manage iterations with you.

03

Production follow-through

Chase details as production moves.

We carry follow-through into production.

You keep the client relationship. We keep delivery moving.

You keep the client relationship. We keep delivery moving.

Ownership

Your studio stays in front. Geniotek extends the delivery capability behind it.

Design studio

Concept, industrial design, creative direction and client relationship.

Engineering decisions, kept close to the product.

Engineers, project managers and manufacturing specialists work alongside the studio to keep design intent, technical decisions and production follow-through connected. Mechanical and electronics engineering are in-house. The work stays close to the product.

01 Feasibility & DFM
Pressure-test the concept early, then bring feasibility questions into the design conversation before they become late production changes.
02 Prototypes & revisions
Coordinate prototype rounds with written tick-lists, so every revision has a reason, a decision and a clear next handoff.
03 Factory & supplier coordination
Carry the design intent into partner-factory conversations and bring back decisions about process, finish, part count and cost direction.
04 Tooling, QC & production handoff
Keep the handoff legible with tooling context, quality checks and the files needed for production, while your studio remains the design owner.

Ways we work

Choose how visible Geniotek should be.

Three collaboration models, from silent engineering support to a visible long-term partnership.

01

White-label support

Silent engineering support that works behind the studio when you want one client-facing relationship.

Most common

Visibility

Silent

Client sees

Your studio

Best fit

One defined pilot with a quiet delivery layer

02

Engineering partner

A co-branded model where Geniotek is visible as the engineering partner alongside your studio.

Studio + Geniotek

Best fit

Projects where engineering decisions need a named owner

03

Long-term partner

An ongoing collaboration with referrals and joint opportunities shaped around the work.

Shared partnership

Best fit

Studios with a repeat hardware practice

Timeline

How a partnership starts.

01

Fit check

Share the project shape, studio role and the delivery gap you want covered.

02

Review & call

Review the engineering questions, ownership boundaries and working model together.

03

Defined pilot

Start with one defined piece of work, with a clear output and a clear decision.

04

Partnership activation

Keep the model that fits, then expand only when the work has earned it.

The first step is deliberately small. A pilot lets both teams see how decisions move before a broader partnership takes shape.

FAQ

FAQ

Questions design studios usually ask before the first project.

01 Who owns the client relationship?
Your studio does. The partnership is designed to extend delivery capability behind your relationship, not replace it.
02 Can the work stay white-label?
Yes. White-label support is the most common starting model. Geniotek can work behind the studio while your client sees your studio.
03 What does the first pilot look like?
One defined piece of work with a clear output, decision boundary and working rhythm. The pilot is where both teams test the fit.
04 What engineering scope can you cover?
Mechanical and electronics engineering, feasibility, DFM, prototype coordination and the technical decisions that make a design producible.
05 How far does manufacturing follow-through go?
We carry the work into partner-factory coordination, tooling context, quality checks and production handoff while keeping the studio in the design conversation.
