Senior Hardware Engineering for Teams Who Need a Specific Problem Solved
I help engineering teams, product managers, and small manufacturers solve bounded hardware problems — enclosures, PCBs, firmware, motor control, reverse engineering, DFM — with senior-level execution and clear deliverables. Fixed scope. Fixed price. No open-ended hourly burn.

Working hardware in 4 weeks
A functional prototype you can demo to investors, hand to a user for testing, or send out for manufacturing quotes. Not a slide deck. Not a render. Real hardware.
A manufacturing quote that doesn't gut your margin
DFM review that typically surfaces 20–40% cost reduction opportunities before tooling. Find the expensive design choices while they're still cheap to change.
A roadmap, not a report
Clear next-step guidance on what to build, what to skip, and which vendors to trust. Your team leaves knowing exactly what happens in the next 90 days.

How We Work
Four ways to engage, from a focused 2-week sprint to ongoing technical leadership. Every engagement has defined scope, clear deliverables, and fixed or scoped pricing.
Prototype Sprint
2–4 weeksFrom $10,000
Build a working prototype or integrate a focused subsystem. Fixed scope, fixed price.
DFM Sprint
2–4 weeks$8,000–$12,000
Reduce cost and assembly complexity before tooling. CAD, BOM, and process review.
Engineering Engagement
2–4 months$15,000–$25,000
Scoped multi-month work for projects spanning mechanical, electrical, and firmware. Milestone-based delivery.
Fractional Hardware Lead
3-month minimum$4,000–$6,000/month
Ongoing senior hardware guidance for teams that need direction, design review, and risk management without a full-time hire.
Simple, Structured Process
From first conversation to final handoff in four clear steps.
