Senior hardware engineering, direct execution

I help hardware teams ship when the pressure is real.

I step in as a senior individual contributor: mechanical design, prototype validation, DFM/NPI, and first production support. No layers, no handoffs, no theater.

Built, not templated.
The 10x engineer angle, explained

I don't mean magic productivity. I mean removing bottlenecks at the right moment.

Most hardware teams are blocked by senior decisions, not junior effort. Tolerance stack-ups, supplier choices, test strategy, and pilot build trade-offs can burn weeks if the person making the call hasn't seen the same failure mode before.

My role is to shorten that cycle: identify the highest-risk decision early, make it explicit, and move the team forward with documented choices. That's where the real leverage comes from — not working 10x longer, but deciding better and earlier.

Story

Revonte → Simucube → Taival.

Revonte

I co-founded Revonte and worked the drive unit from blank-page architecture to production-ready hardware. That included gearing, cast parts, injection moulded parts, and line-level manufacturability decisions.

Simucube

At Simucube I build high-performance sim racing products where precision, repeatability, and reliability are baseline, not stretch goals.

Taival

Taival Tech is how I package that experience for teams that need senior engineering support without building another management layer.

About

I'm Iiro Peltola.

I am a mechanical engineer who prefers hard constraints over abstract strategy. I work best in teams that need direct execution and honest risk calls.

If you need someone to own the difficult middle — between concept and production reality — that's where I can help.
