Engineering as a Service
The right specialist. The right team. On demand.
Curated, senior-level product development talent for the hardest engineering challenges — firmware, hardware systems, medical device regulatory, industrial controls, and the specialists that ship complex products. Hire one expert or build a full team.
Delivered by our specialists at Kyros Engineering
Talent Badger is the bench behind Kyros Engineering. These are engagements our specialists delivered there.

Our specialists have worked in
The post-accelerator engineering gap is real.
A seed round or accelerator check gets you to prototype. Getting from prototype to DVT — with real embedded firmware, compliant hardware, and a manufacturable design — requires specialists that general hiring can't find in time. Talent Badger was built for this moment.
Our Specialists
Meet the talent behind the work
Senior engineers, designers, and domain experts — vetted, badged, and ready to ship.
Turns light into reliable signal — NIR, VIS, LIDAR, and medical imaging
I uniquely bridge signal processing and ML for medical devices, turning raw physiologic data (PPG, accel, airflow) into validated models. I build end-to-end pipelines—from data capture to deployment—with deep learning and GANs used in real-world sleep and neurology applications.
Full-stack embedded across ESP32, nRF91/nRF52 and STM32 — BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE/NB-IoT and NFC through to production firmware and CI/CD
Complete embedded hardware, schematic through manufacturing files — 100+ boards shipped across BLE/IoT, power, and sensor designs
Professional gig work for serious engineering
Vetted specialists and pre-built teams for complex product development — not a freelance marketplace. Every expert is assessed on real domain depth, not keywords.
One Specialist or a Full Team
Hire one expert for a focused task, or assemble a cross-functional pod — EE, firmware, mechanical, regulatory — in days.
Reviewed by an Engineer
Every application is read and scored by a working engineer on real domain depth — not parsed for keywords by a recruiter.
Fast Kickoff
Go from brief to sprint-based delivery within 3-5 business days. No recruiter lag.
Transparent Pricing
Published rate bands, team pods, and billing terms set in the SOW before work starts.
