I think that research in the Industry is much easier than Academia, because usually the time given is according to your ability and skills. Of course, if you are in a higher position the time given would be much less than a starting position’s time frame. The most important thing to do is to prepare everything before you start the project. A couple of major steps would be: collect information and ask the right people for help, think about the use of the product with respect to your customers, and think about a way to pack and ship it. Once you have everything figured out, then designing the device/product would run smoothly and based on your skills and after being realistic with the amount of time the device will take to design, then your supervisor/manager gives you the time this project is supposed to take. Honestly it is all about the preparation before starting the design, then everything falls in place. The projects usually come out really successful because they get reviewed by a lot of people after each stage of the project, so every step is monitored and approved before moving forward with the project.
