About

A hardware studio that ships, not pitches.

Khayal Incotech started in 2022 because the founder got tired of seeing good ideas killed by bad execution. Three years later, that mission still steers every decision.

Origin

Hamza Rehman, a biomedical engineer with a soldering iron habit, kept watching small companies pay six-figure sums to large agencies and walk away with PowerPoints instead of products. Khayal Incotech was the answer: a small, senior team where every contract goes to people who actually ship.

Philosophy

One: real engineering beats marketing engineering. Two: a clean schematic is the cheapest debugger you'll ever own. Three: production-ready isn't a checkbox at the end. It's a constraint at the start. Four: small team, senior people, transparent timelines.

Process

How a project moves from idea to shelf.

Five stages, each with a fixed deliverable and a clear gate. No surprise scope creep, no "we'll figure it out in production." Pricing matched to the stage you're entering.

5 stages · idea → ship
01

Discovery

free · 30 min

A call to figure out what you actually need. We tell you whether your idea wants a hardware partner, a firmware partner, or just a better whiteboard. Honest answer, no obligation.

  • scope sketch
  • fit check
  • next-step plan
02

Architecture

fixed fee

Block diagram, BOM range, certification roadmap, risk register. The document you give your investors and the spec your engineers can build against.

  • system diagram
  • BOM band
  • cert path
  • risk register
03

Prototype

milestone-based

Schematic, layout, firmware, mechanical. We iterate to a working unit you can hold, demo, and show to your first ten customers.

  • schematic
  • PCB rev A
  • firmware bring-up
  • enclosure
04

Production

DFM · cert

DFM, panelization, supplier audit, line bring-up, certification submission. The unglamorous work that decides whether your product ships on time and stays shipped.

  • DFM/DFA
  • fixtures
  • FCC / CE
  • line audit
05

Handoff

clean exit

Clean source, runbooks, hardware test protocols, vendor contacts. Optional post-launch retainer for the inevitable rev-B and field issues. You own everything.

  • source code
  • runbooks
  • vendor list
  • retainer optional
