Build, validate, and sustain products across embedded systems, edge AI, connectivity, robotics, and production engineering — without building every capability internally.
Delivered through HIO's China-based engineering network — close to one of the world's deepest product-development and manufacturing ecosystems.
HIO is not a general-purpose software staffing marketplace. We focus on engineering work that must stay connected to devices, hardware platforms, test environments, suppliers, and production.
This is what makes HIO relevant when a remote engineering team needs to understand not just the code, but the product around it.
These aren't shelf categories from a generic outsourcing catalog — see what each one actually covers, with typical client situations.
Because we recruit against the open market instead of staffing from a fixed internal roster, we're not capped by how many engineers we already employ.
HIO works with product teams wherever they're headquartered — North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, or China itself.
Already manufacturing or sourcing in China or elsewhere in Asia, short a technical presence near suppliers.
Hardware just shipped or a pilot just landed — validation, NPI, and reliability work is catching up.
The original engineers moved on, but customers, releases, and field issues haven't stopped.
Design firms, embedded consultancies, and integrators that need a trusted China-based delivery extension.
Add one engineer who joins your existing team, tools, and technical leadership.
A small, focused team organized around a workstream — validation, embedded work, sustaining engineering.
A bounded technical outcome with agreed deliverables, checkpoints, and acceptance criteria.
Tell us about a difficult role, a delayed workstream, or a product bottleneck. No large commitment is required to begin the conversation.
