Engineering support for startups and growing organisations
A startup building hardware, or a company that has outgrown its spreadsheets, usually needs an engineer who can cover the mechanical, electrical, controls and software sides at once. I take an idea to a working prototype and an MVP you can show investors and customers, help set up the workshop or factory, and put in the systems a growing team runs on — SOPs, workflows, dashboards and tools. I can also review vendors and designs, or act as a part-time technical lead until you hire one.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with clients outside India?
Yes, remotely. I share drawings and code through a shared folder or Git, and take calls in Indian working hours.
Can you come to our plant?
For on-site services, within the Coimbatore region. Everywhere else I work remotely.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes.
Who owns the drawings and code?
You do, after final payment. You get native files (EPLAN, AutoCAD, PLC project archives, source code), not just PDFs.
How do you invoice?
GST invoice from ElectronIx for clients in India; international clients pay by bank transfer. Payment terms are agreed in the written quote.
