2. Fixed-Scope Engineering Engagements
SeeYa LLC offers focused engineering engagements for architecture review, performance acceleration, modernization, and difficult cross-stack technical problems. Fixed-scope engineering engagements are scheduled in minimum two-week blocks.
Package ATechnical Architecture Audit & Assessment
- Description
- Review of an existing or proposed technical architecture across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, distributed software, microservices, networking, databases, deployment infrastructure, embedded systems, and hardware/software boundaries. Assessment may include source code, system diagrams, infrastructure, interfaces, data flow, performance constraints, reliability, observability, and deployment strategy.
- Duration
- Minimum two-week engagement.
- Deliverable
- Technical Architecture Assessment covering scalability, reliability, bottlenecks, integration risks, modernization opportunities, deployment concerns, and CPU/SIMD/GPU/FPGA acceleration feasibility where applicable.
- Pricing
- $12,500 minimum engagement, or billed at $238/hr.
Package BPerformance & Acceleration Assessment
- Description
- Focused performance analysis for software, mathematical workloads, databases, networking, and mixed hardware/software systems. Work may include profiling, memory and data-layout analysis, concurrency, I/O, database and network bottlenecks, and parallel execution strategy.
- Scope
- CPU profiling and vectorization, SIMD, GPU/CUDA, FPGA feasibility, memory behavior, data movement, I/O and network constraints, and architecture-level acceleration opportunities.
- Deliverable
- Performance Assessment with measured bottlenecks, prioritized remediation steps, expected tradeoffs, and recommended CPU/SIMD/GPU/FPGA acceleration path.
- Pricing
- $12,500 minimum engagement, or billed at the applicable hourly tier.
- Duration
- Minimum two-week engagement.
Package CModernization & Prototype Sprint
- Description
- A working modernization or proof-of-concept sprint for an agreed technical baseline. Suitable for legacy system migration, service extraction, API/interface replacement, Rust translation, cloud or container migration, browser/WASM frontend work, or hardware/software integration.
- Scope
- Minimum two-week sprint focused on one agreed subsystem, service boundary, prototype, or migration target.
- Deliverables
- Working prototype or translated baseline, test and validation assets, benchmark or integration results, and a recommended production migration path.
- Pricing
- $12,500 minimum two-week sprint, or hourly under the applicable tier above.
Package DRapid Technical Diagnosis & Integration Rescue
- Description
- Short, intensive engagement for intermittent, cross-stack, or long-running technical failures that have resisted normal debugging. Investigation can span application code, operating systems, drivers, networking, virtualization, databases, protocols, FPGA logic, embedded hardware, and external integrations.
- Best Used For
- Production defects, unexplained performance failures, packet loss, hardware/software boundary faults, integration regressions, deployment failures, and problems where ownership crosses multiple teams or vendors.
- Deliverable
- Root-cause findings, evidence trail, recommended corrective actions, and—when practical—a tested fix or minimal reproduction.
- Pricing
- $12,500 minimum engagement, or billed at $238/hr.
- Duration
- Minimum two-week engagement.
3. Rapid Prototyping & Small-Batch Fabrication
SeeYa LLC also provides hands-on rapid prototyping for physical product development, one-off parts, fixtures, proof-of-concept hardware, and early-stage engineering builds.
3D Printing & Fabrication
$15 / printer-hour + filament- FDM printing for prototypes, fixtures, housings, mechanical parts, and one-off builds.
- $20 flat setup fee per print job for printer tuning, print setup, and support removal.
- Filament and specialty material costs billed separately.
- Available equipment includes large-format and high-speed CoreXY/FDM systems.
3D Design & Print Preparation
$60 / hr- OpenSCAD parametric design and engineering-oriented part generation.
- Blender modeling, cleanup, mesh repair, and presentation geometry.
- Design-for-print adjustments, fit/tolerance changes, and prototype revisions.
- Print preparation for customer-supplied or SeeYa-designed parts.
Benchtop Electronics Prototyping
Quoted per project- Bench-scale proof-of-concept electronics and hardware/software integration.
- Microcontrollers, embedded Linux, sensors, displays, serial buses, and custom interface bring-up.
- Breadboard, wiring, test, measurement, debugging, and functional demonstration.
- Parts, boards, components, fabrication, and specialty materials quoted separately when required.
Prototype work is scoped around the physical deliverable and expected iteration count. Projects that expand into substantial software, FPGA, GPU, systems architecture, or custom protocol work transition to the applicable consulting tier above.
