How easy is it to make your own small electrical engineering design company?
Recently the robotics club at my uni was offered $10,000 by a local company to design what appears to be a very simple pump control system for aquariums or something. This would be put into limited production and sold by the company.
I don't remember the specifics but I was surprised that overall design didn't seem much harder than a few of the design assignments I've done in uni. I could probably do the full design in 1 week if I was working full time on it.
Are there are lot of small businesses out there that need small scale electric system designs for whatever they're doing? Is it realistic to start your own design company tailored towards smaller business applications while the bigger players continue to focus on the multi-million dollar ones?
