What is the cost to hire Tool Design engineers via smartbrain.io?

Pricing is transparent and scalable. smartbrain.io charges a flat hourly rate that already includes payroll, local taxes, hardware, and compliance overhead. You pay only for productive engineering hours—no recruiting fees, no bonuses, no hidden mark-ups. Rates depend on seniority and project length, but most clients save 30-45 % compared with in-house salaries plus burden. A detailed quote is provided after our discovery call, and you can cancel or scale your Tool Design capacity with just two weeks’ notice.

How do you protect IP when I hire Tool and Die Designer experts remotely?

Intellectual-property protection starts with airtight NDAs and continues with network architecture. All Tool Design talent works through isolated, zero-trust virtual desktops that keep CAD files on your servers. We enforce SSO, MFA and role-based permissions, while continuous activity logging meets ISO-27001 guidelines. smartbrain.io also maintains professional liability insurance and offers bespoke security add-ons for ITAR or EAR-regulated work to ensure your blueprints never leave your controlled environment.

Can outstaffed Tool Design engineers work in my time zone?

Yes. Our global bench lets you choose near-shore or same-time-zone specialists for real-time collaboration, or staggered time zones for 24/7 throughput. During shortlisting we present only candidates who commit to your core working hours and daily stand-up cadence. This guarantees the Hire Tool and Die Designer resource feels like an embedded teammate, not an overnight vendor.

What contract terms are available for Tool Design staff augmentation?

Contracts are month-to-month by default, with discounts for 6- or 12-month commitments. You can scale up, pause, or terminate with a 14-day notice, keeping financial risk minimal. Each agreement includes a replacement guarantee, comprehensive IP clauses, and service-level objectives covering response times, quality gates, and confidentiality.

How rigorous is your candidate vetting process for Tool Design engineers?

Only 2 % of applicants pass our four-stage assessment: (1) portfolio and reference screening; (2) live CAD modeling test in SolidWorks/Creo to verify geometric accuracy; (3) manufacturing feasibility interview with a senior Tool and Die Designer; and (4) soft-skills evaluation to ensure communication clarity. Each hire comes with a detailed scorecard so you know exactly why the candidate excels.

What happens if the engineer is not a good fit?

Our replacement guarantee covers you. If performance, communication, or cultural alignment falls short within the first 30 days, smartbrain.io delivers a replacement Tool Design professional—free of charge—usually within 48 hours. Your project timeline stays intact.

How quickly can a Tool Design engineer start on my project?

After the 30-minute discovery call we deliver a curated shortlist in 48 hours. Interviews can be scheduled immediately, and many clients sign off the same week. Typical start time from initial contact to first billable hour is 3-5 business days, giving you near-instant access to specialized Tool and Die expertise.
