Embedded Systems Consultant

As the CTO of ConnectTel, I have been providing solutions for some Fortune 500 companies. ConnectTel web site has a list of customers.

Contracts

All my contracts are handled by ConnectTel, Inc. They MUST be signed, and all legal aspects must be "ready" before any work can possibly be started.

Depending on the customer needs, we do Time&Material ( hourly basis ) or fixed size bids. All this, as you may know, depends how "WELL DEFINED" the projects really are, and the risks involved.

Rates

It depends on many factors. It varies from the level of detail of requirements/spefication ( in most cases they simply do NOT exist), the size and duration, and whether other members of the ConnectTel team are used.

A typical rate per hour: $120 to $200

How it works

As one of the Project Leader/Architect at ConnectTel, I usually take on projects where some other engineers from ConnectTel ( junior level ) are engaged along with me. This in some cases is more cost effective because I spend more time initially at the analysis/design/planning phase of the project, and the team composed of ConnectTel plus Client's engineers, continue on the project through the implementation phase. On this phase, I usually play the role of a mentor/architect only.
