Photon Engineering offers optical engineering consulting services under two "customer-friendly" contracts:
Time and materials Under this type of contract, there is no predetermined statement of work; the customer generally has an optical engineering idea/problem he wishes to investigate/solve and we tackle the project from there. We work closely with the customer to understand the idea/problem, select the optimum software and technical approach, and work toward an optimal solution.
Since these contracts tend to be rather loosely structured, we typically ask the customer to issue a purchase order for a not-to-exceed funding level. The specifics, schedule, and cost of each task are negotiated, sometimes on a day-to-day basis, as the work progresses. With frequent reports, discussions and other customer interactions (also sometimes on a day-to-day basis), Photon Engineering acts like a virtual "in-house" engineering resource without the associated overhead.
Fixed price Under this type of contract, we work to a specific statement of work on a specific schedule for a predetermined cost; all aspects of the contract are negotiated "up front" with the customer prior to beginning any work.
Other business arrangements may be considered. For example, we may accept future royalties as payment for consulting work under the appropriate circumstances. Contact us for more information.
Under any business scenario, Photon Engineering is extremely cost-effective. We keep our overhead low so that we can offer our services at rates affordable even to "start-up" companies.
Photon Engineering routinely signs reasonable non-disclosure agreements intended to protect the proprietary nature of our customers' projects.
