How we help manufacturing companies

Engineering capacity shouldn’t depend on where you have a legal entity. We handle the employment layer so your technical teams sit where the talent is.

01

Design IP assigned to your company

Drawings, models, specifications, and tooling designs assigned to your business under local law from day one. The clause most templates get wrong is the one that decides who owns the product.

02

Extended engineering hours

Add technical capacity in time zones that give you overlap with your production sites or genuine round-the-clock design and support coverage.

03

Verified technical credentials

Engineering degrees, professional registrations, and software certifications checked and documented before an employee starts work.

04

Capacity that follows the program

Staff up for a product launch, scale back after ramp. No entity to establish when a program starts, none to unwind when it ends.

Technical depth without the overhead

Manufacturing engineering talent is available across South Asia. The employment structure is what usually stops companies from reaching it.

100%

Of manufacturing contracts include design IP assignment, invention disclosure, and confidentiality terms drafted under local employment law. Every drawing, model, and specification belongs to your company.

1–3 days

From signed offer to onboarded engineer. Contract generation, authority registration, and benefits enrollment run in parallel, so technical capacity arrives on your program schedule.

98%

Payroll accuracy rate. Every cycle is cross-checked against current tax tables and verified by licensed accountants under our Meteors Payroll Accuracy System before funds move.

Add engineering capacity without entity setup

Bring on design engineers, production planners, and technical support staff across South Asia in days. Expand for a new program, adjust when it ships, exit a market without unwinding a company.

  • Hire across multiple markets through one partner and one consolidated invoice
  • No incorporation, local director, or in-country bank account required
  • Full cost per engineer visible before the offer goes out

Your designs stay your designs

A CAD engineer produces the most valuable asset in your business. If the employment agreement doesn’t assign that output under local law, ownership becomes a question during due diligence, a supplier dispute, or a patent filing.

  • Design IP assignment and invention disclosure enforceable in the jurisdiction
  • Confidentiality covering drawings, specifications, tooling, supplier data, and pre-launch products
  • Post-employment restrictions drafted to hold where the employee works

Convert your engineering contractors

Design and technical work is often engaged on a contractor basis, then continues for years. Set hours, your systems, your review process, and exclusivity all point one direction under local law.

  • Clean conversion with no interruption to program timelines
  • New compliant contract, authority registration, benefits enrollment, payroll setup
  • Retroactive exposure closed out properly, including any gap in IP assignment

Your company does, from day one. Every manufacturing contract includes design IP assignment and invention disclosure drafted under the employment law of the market where the engineer works. Template contracts routinely leave this open, and the gap usually surfaces during due diligence, a patent filing, or a supplier dispute.

Yes. Meteors becomes the legal employer in each market. We register with local authorities, run payroll, file taxes, and carry the employment liability. Your company doesn’t incorporate, appoint a local director, or open an in-country bank account. See how our Employer of Record service works.

Confidentiality obligations in every contract cover drawings, specifications, tooling, supplier data, and unreleased product information, with access control and device policy defined and acknowledged. Post-employment restrictions are drafted to be enforceable in the jurisdiction rather than copied from a template written for another market.

Yes. Degrees, professional registrations, and design software certifications are verified at source before onboarding, and the documentation is handed to you. Records are maintained and retrievable if a client or auditor asks.

Yes. Adding headcount takes days and reducing it carries no entity wind-down. Notice periods, final settlements, and statutory payouts are handled to local requirements, so ramping down after a program ships stays clean and compliant.

Let’s talk about your engineering team.
