Embedded Systems Pricing

What is the Expected Cost and Duration?

The bulk of our engagements fall between $10K – $120K and last ~2 – 6 months.

There are obviously outliers in both directions. Both the cost and the duration are typically proportional to the size of the effort. We’re not hobbyists.

Here are some general examples:

Scenario

Cost

Duration

PCB Layout Services with optional Signal Integrity analysis and optimization

~$15K to $100K

~ 1 to 8 weeks

Low to medium complexity microcontroller-based boardschematic design & PCB layout and firmware development

~$50K to $125K

~ 6 to 12 weeks

~$100K to $250K¹

~1 to 6+ months

~$10K to $125K

~2 weeks to 6+ months

Schematic and/or PCB Layout peer review (w/ summary of analysis and findings report)

~$10K to $25K²

~ 1 to 3 weeks

System EMC assessment (w/ summary report including root cause analysis and recommended countermeasures)

~$15K to $50K

~ 1 to 4 weeks

Semi Custom Mechanical Enclosure Design (Customization of off the shelf enclosure) in parallel with board design

~$7K to $15K

~2 to 12 weeks

Fully Custom Mechanical Enclosure Design in parallel with board design

~$15K to $35K

~4 to 12 weeks

Phase 0 – Requirements generation, architecture, analysis of alternatives, cost estimation (for a typical medium-complexity system)

~$15K to $50K ³

~1 to 2 weeks

¹ FPGA development has a very wide range of complexity of implementation and test benching. This estimate falls into 80% of the projects Re:Build AppliedLogix works on.
² Printed Circuit Boards can range from simple 2- to 4-layer boards for interconnects or IoT devices to very complicated 30+ layer backplanes transferring terabits of data per second.
³ Phase 0 efforts are critical to many programs’ success to ensure de-risking and scope alignment happens at the onset of a project vs later when it is more expensive to pivot.

My appreciation to the AppliedLogix folks for pulling this one out of the fire… This is going to be big – you can’t believe the response. Product is dead-on for first generation.

A.L.’s capacity to frame and follow through on complex assignments is frighteningly good! I wish I could say it’s just youthful energy but you guys aren’t that young either. It’s very valuable.

The new layout for the AVDD power planes is excellent – great job of maximizing the clearance to critical input nodes… Very well thought out and executed… You should be proud of this work!

…There are many high power / high current PWM channels and the critical low noise signals are perfectly quiet, there is no discernible noise at all. The layout is extraordinary – well done AppliedLogix!
