Engineering without full-time commitment
We partner with van upfitters, camper outfitters, and outdoor brands who need consistent CAD and engineering support to grow their product lines.
trusted by
the challengeYou're ready to build.
But engineering talent is expensive.
-
Full-time hires are too costly
A junior product engineer runs $70–90k/year in salary alone — before benefits, equipment, or onboarding time.
-
Freelancers give you bursts, not continuity
Project-based work means starting over every time — re-explaining your products, your tolerances, your vision.
-
Product development stalls without momentum
Without consistent engineering bandwidth, new product lines get delayed, deprioritized, or dropped entirely.
There's a gap between "can't afford to hire" and "one-off freelancer" — and most small outdoor brands are stuck in it. We fill that gap.
how it works
embedded engineering, on your terms.
No agencies. No one-off projects. Just a dedicated product engineer in your corner — every week, for as long as you need.
-
Choose how many hours per week you need. Not sure? We'll help you figure it out on a 20-minute discovery call.
-
Every partnership starts with a 3-month minimum — enough time to make real progress, build a rhythm, and see what we can do together.
Longer commitments get better rates:
6 months saves 5%, 12 months saves 10%. -
Your hours are reserved. Every week you get consistent design and engineering output — CAD files, BOMs, renders, manufacturer-ready specs — without chasing a contractor down.
CAD Design || BOM + Specs || Engineering Simulations || Renders -
Your product needs change. Your tier can too. At every 3-month renewal, upgrade to more hours, step down if things slow, or extend at the same rate.
Most clients are up and running within a week of their discovery call. There's no lengthy onboarding, no SOW negotiation — just a monthly invoice and work that moves.
