EES is a contract engineering firm with a special focus on embedded design.
We work with our clients to understand the specific needs of their projects and customize our effort to meet those needs without the bloat and extra costs that sometimes come when using an engineering contractor. When you work with us, you are working directly with engineers, not with project managers or engineering executives with high hourly bill rates and minimal contribution. Everyone working on your project is directly contributing to its success.
We know that sometimes circumstances change and at times like that, our clients appreciate flexibility. As such, we don’t use long term contracts and our clients are free to suspend or stop projects at any point if the circumstances dictate. In such an instance, they are only charged for the actual time and expenses accrued to that point. Suspended projects can be reactivated when appropriate or not at all as the circumstances dictate but we always only charge for the time actually spent and materials actually used while the project was active.
The industries that we have experience with include but are not limited to: consumer products, medical devices, industrial controls, communications, supply chain management, defense, and manufacturing.
We work with companies that run the gamut in size and sophistication. Our past clients have ranged from single person start-ups to billion-dollar multi-national corporations and everything in between. We can work independently or in parallel with an in-house development team and have worked both ways on many different projects.
