I've interviewed at quite a few startups where the hardware was a raspberry pi/jetson strapped to some 80/20. Whether they fix the mechanical design or EE side first usually depends on whether they need to ship and go "shit this 80/20 is expensive" or hit power issues/USB enumeration nightmares on important sensors.
