Please feel free to contact me for a quote for any
engineering project large or small.
To best utilize the services
that I offer consider the following:
1) Project should be
atomic in nature: (for example)
a) PCB design, assembly and test of prototype.
b) CNC Lathe / Mill prototype.
c) Component selection or evaluation.
d) Sensor / FPGA / Microcontroller software, hardware design or
feasibility analysis.
e) Preparation of technical manuals or application notes.
f) For projects that require significant back and forth
communications, I require that you
reserve un-moveable activity blocks for communications, OR, be located
within 100 miles
of Chicago IL.
2) Does your team simply
need extra manpower on a temporary basis?
3) Should your project be of such a nature as to
require a licensed professional engineer I will
retain one for design oversight of
your project. Please note that I am not licensed in any state
as a professional engineer. I only warrant
that I possess a Bachelors degree in Electrical
Engineering from Purdue University and a
Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering from the
University of Vermont.
4) Billing is simple. Time
+ Materials. (General Terms Below)
a) A materials account will be created at the beginning of a project
for me to draw upon.
- The materials account may be structured as appropriate for the
intended project.
b) Time is compensated on achievement of mutually agreed upon progress
checkpoints.
c) Projects may be terminated or put on hold with 2 day notice. Notice
of termination or hold
constitutes a successfully achieved mutually agreed upon progress
checkpoint.
