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.

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
Daily rates, team pods, or milestone-gated billing. You only pay when work is delivered.
