Fractional Engineering
Ongoing engineering capacity, without a full-time hire.
Fractional Engineering is an arrangement where your company agrees on a certain number of engineering hours per month — a known budget much less expensive than a full-time employee. It keeps your cost under control while keeping an engineer continuously up to date on your product.
How it works
Agree on the hours
We define a monthly hour commitment that fits your roadmap and budget — no full-time salary, no benefits overhead.
Same engineer, every month
The same senior engineer stays assigned to your product month after month, so context and history accumulate instead of restarting.
Adjust as you go
Hours scale up or down with your needs. When a change or issue comes up, your engineer already knows the product.
Why it works
- Cost stays predictable and controlled — you agree on a monthly hour commitment up front.
- Your engineer is already up to speed — no ramp-up when a change, revision, or issue comes up.
- Knowledge is retained in one place instead of scattered across one-off vendors.
- Scales up or down as your needs change.
When you're ready to hire full-time
If you decide to bring on a full-time engineer, we don't just walk away. We transfer everything — CAD files, tooling history, vendor relationships, open issues, and the design decisions behind them — so your new hire starts with the full picture. It's the cleanest way to retain knowledge and keep your support scalable.
The handoff
- • CAD, drawings, and revision history
- • Tooling and vendor contact context
- • Open issues and root-cause notes
- • Ramp-up availability for your new hire
Good fit for
- Small teams that need senior depth but not a full-time headcount.
- Single-product companies that want continuity across revisions and tooling changes.
- Firms between engineering hires that need to keep momentum without a gap.
- Organizations evaluating whether a full-time engineer is justified.
