A working prototype you can put
in front of investors in four weeks
— without hiring an engineering team.

For companies with the idea but not the in-house engineering. We build it, validate it, and hand over everything your team needs to take it from there.

Free 15-Minute Technical Diagnosis

Before you spend a dollar, we tell you whether your project is buildable, what it will realistically cost, and where it will break.

Email matt@eagle-receptor.com Subject line: DIAGNOSIS

To make the 15 minutes worth taking, send four short answers in the email:

You get a straight answer on the call: buildable or not, rough scope, and which of the tracks below fits — or that none of them do and you should do it in-house. No deck, no pitch.

4 weeks
From brief to working proof
You own it
Full IP & replication pack
Fixed scope
Agreed price, not billed hours

Who it's for

Built for teams with an idea and no hardware bench.

If you can describe the system you need but can't build it — hiring a full team isn't where you are yet — that's the gap we fill. We become your engineering hands for a defined sprint, prove the hard part works, and leave you with something your team can run.

What you get

Every engagement ends with a complete, ownable deliverable.

We don't sell hours and we don't leave you dependent on us.

D.01
Working system
The actual built, tested hardware — not a slide deck about something that might work.
→ verified on the bench
D.02
Source code
All firmware, scripts, and integration code, structured so your engineers can read and modify it.
→ yours to keep
D.03
Wiring & integration diagrams
How every component connects — power, sensors, compute, comms — drawn clearly enough to reproduce.
→ build-ready
D.04
Parameter & config files
The exact tuned settings that make it work, exported and documented.
→ drop-in ready
D.05
Engineering report
What works, what doesn't, what we'd do next — an honest technical account of the result.
→ decision-ready
D.06
Replication tutorial
A custom step-by-step guide so your team can rebuild it from scratch without us in the room.
→ independence built in

Ways to engage

Three ways to engage.

Fixed-scope prices are not hourly — scope is agreed in writing before work begins. Consulting is billed hourly.

Scout
€2,500–€3,500 · 2 weeks
One narrow technical question answered with a working bench demo + report. Lowest-risk way to start.
Most clients start here
Proof
€6,000–€8,000 · 4 weeks
A working integrated prototype + full handover pack + replication tutorial. This is our core offer.
Build & Transfer
from €12,000 · 6–8 weeks
Everything in Proof, plus we train your engineers to run and extend it, with 30 days of post-delivery support.
Consulting
120 EUR/hour
30-min increments · 1hr minimum
Direct engineering time, no fixed scope. Architecture review, hardware selection, debugging a stack that's stuck, second opinion before you commit budget. Use it when you need an engineer's judgement, not a deliverable.
→ BLIK payment or invoicing

Capabilities

Languages
Python, C++, Java, SQL, Bash, UML, Git.
Track record

Freelance robotics and edge-AI delivery since 2022. Founder of Eagle Receptor, building autonomous robotic systems — HARPUN (high-speed drone), ZIERNIK (AI vision & guidance), SÓJKA (passive RF detector), WATAHA OS. 3rd place at EUDIS Defence Hackathon 2026 in Kraków.

How we work

The terms, plainly stated.

Payment
50% retainer on signature, 50% on delivery of the agreed deliverables. Consulting hours are paid up front and invoiced monthly in arrears.
Gate clause
Larger multi-phase programmes only proceed after a successful first sprint — a proof for both sides.
Our guarantee
If we don't deliver the deliverables we agreed in writing, you don't pay the completion balance — and we refund half your retainer. You're never out more than 25% of the project, and you keep every artifact we produced along the way. (Applies to Scout and Proof.)
IP
You own everything we hand over. The replication pack is yours to use and extend.
