Big Rocks Engineering is a full-service product development company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, founded in 2000. Formerly known as Hill Innovative Solutions, the firm brings more than two decades of experience developing products across sporting goods, industrial equipment, medical device, power electronics, and aerospace industries.
The company operates an iterative product development process designed to reach a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), collect customer feedback, and refine through successive iterations. This repeatable cycle is intended to produce the most viable product for each customer, with the firm emphasizing hands-on involvement throughout the entire development journey.
Big Rocks Engineering relies heavily on prototyping and small batch manufacturing, offering capabilities that span virtual prototypes, alpha prototypes, and production-scale small batch runs. The firm's stated philosophy is that a prototype communicates far more than a drawing, supporting clients from initial concept through manufacturing.
The agency is listed under DesignRush categories for engineering, market research, package design, and product design. Its service offerings include Package Design, Product Design, and Market Research, with a team of under 49 employees.
