Custom design engagement
Bring us a hardware problem.
A design study is a scoped piece of engineering with one deliverable: you describe the problem, the in-house team behind our 49 shipping products works out how RAX would solve it, and you receive a written study you can act on — whoever ends up building it.
What a design study examines
The problem, in your language
What the hardware must do, where it must do it, and what “working” looks like for you. A study starts from your constraints, not our catalogue.
The constraints
Environment, power, connectivity, compliance targets, expected volumes, budget shape. The boundaries decide the design — so we fix them first.
The options
The architectures worth considering, with the trade-offs stated plainly. If an off-the-shelf RAX product already solves it, we say so.
The path forward
Prototype, testing, and what production with RAX would look like if the study says go. If it says don’t build it, that is a result too.
What you receive
A written study you can act on.
Scope, duration and price are set per engagement — that is what the first conversation is for.
- 01The requirements as we understood them — in writing, so misunderstandings surface early
- 02The recommended approach, and the reasoning behind it
- 03The alternatives considered, with their trade-offs
- 04A straight answer on whether RAX would manufacture it
From study to production
The team that writes the study builds the hardware. Nothing is lost in handover — there is no handover.
Study
The scoped document above.
Prototype
The design made physical, tested against the constraints it was written for.
Production
The same Chennai line that builds our own 49 products builds yours.
Why RAX

Start here
Tell us the problem.
Describe what the hardware needs to do and where it has to survive. Sketches, photos and part numbers are welcome in the follow-up — the first step is just the problem, in your words.
Your description lands with the same engineering-led team that scopes every design study.
