Have an electronics product idea that you want to become reality? I determine manufacturing costs, develop prototypes, and arrange for mass manufacture. Turn key for your idea - start to finish! I've already brought a dozen products from concept to mass manufacture. I take pride in providing high quality work. | Background | Expert robotics engineer with 24+ years experience: mechanical, software, electronics design, design for manufacture, and engineering finance. Mechanical engineering degree from Carnegie Mellon University. 10+ years professional experience as a robotics engineer at the US Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. An additional decade experience as a professional freelance engineer. | Skills | Engineering finance (manufacturing cost estimation), PCB/circuit design, embedded firmware/software, Android/iOS apps for BLE control of microcontrollers, CAD, fuel cell control systems, off-grid solar power systems, and more. I have necessary high-level clearances for defense work. | Technical Writing | Professional robotics scientist in a previous career; 20+ scientific publications (can send link to publications upon request).
