Mechanical engineer who continually demonstrates effective problem solving and delivers creative solutions. Values trust, communication, and work ethic. Has industry experience designing and launching new commercial products, and prototyping those designs. Focused on working with early product development projects. Completed projects include: - Flying Turbine Concept: Concept of a floating wind turbine which takes advantage of the high altitude wind speeds. This optimizes the efficiency of the turbine to generate power at lower costs. - Product Improvement (Glue Gun Holder): A redesign project of a popular consumer product which was receiving bad reviews. The poor performance and failure modes were analyzed, and the product was redesigned to perform better. - Water Purification in HVAC System: A new device used to separate rust from flowing water. This was done to avoid the malfunction of modern magnetic pumps, which was due to rust build up at the pump. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

I am a mechanical engineer and have worked in some sort of design or manufacturing setting for almost 10 years. I specialize in helping companies do three things: 1. Making your product more cost-efficient to produce 2. Refining your product so that it is easy for the customer to use 3. Accelerating your development process. I know speed is key when getting any new project started so I get you what you need ASAP. Some of my accomplishments so far -Helped a company that raised 500k in crowdfunding to develop the product they are now selling, reducing their manufacturing cost by over 20% -Helped a company raise their first round of funding by designing and prototyping their first product -Worked with product development firms with large customers to work out kinks in their designs and fabricate their prototypes -Worked with another crowdfunding campaign to make develop their beta-testing product. -Designed tooling for robotic arms to automate manufacturing processes resulting in massive reduction in labor cost I am proficient in the following disciplines -SolidWorks 2018 -Inventor 2018 -FEA (Finite Element Analysis - finding the weak points in a structural design) -Rapid prototyping (3D Printing, CNC Machining, etc.) -Design for manufacturing I work with a small 3D Printing company here in Chicago that can produce very high quality 3D prints with an excellent turnaround time. I also have a complete workshop with saws/mills/drills/CNC where I can build pieces or prototypes for virtually any project. I love working with startups to get their product moving. I like the fast pace environment and love seeing something we work on go to market.

Hi, my name is Benjamin Ellis. I am a mechanical engineer living and working in the Chicago area. I received my BSME from Tennessee Technological University in 2012. My past work experience encompasses multiple responsibilities in high-volume manufacturing in the automotive sector, including tool design, process design, quality inspection methods, CMM and vision inspection system programming, robotics programming, PLC programming, process automation, machine design, metallurgy, CNC machining, and both 2D and 3D CAD, among others. Additional work experience includes roles in manufacturing process design and control, quality control, and product improvement at a steel fabrication facility. The additional skills gained at this workplace include the use of inventory and production tracking software, personnel management, and both raw material and equipment/machinery resource management. This combined work experience has given me the needed skills and knowledge to take products from concept to reality. I have had the privilege of working with outstanding mentors in my field that have trained me to look ahead in the product development cycle to identify potential problems and challenges and to plan accordingly. A deep understanding of and enthusiasm for the various manufacturing processes available has influenced my product design work with a constant eye toward manufacturability and cost. Furthermore, when it comes to engineering, I highly endorse the notion that the simplest process or design is the surest path to success.

Design Anomaly Inc. is a product design and engineering firm started in 2013 with a focus on developing simple, innovative solutions to unique problems. As an independent consultant, my background is in mechanical and electrical engineering, machine design, packaging design, design for manufacture, injection molded component design, and product development. I have a passion for design and engineering and can offer experience from a wide variety of project backgrounds. I spent 6 years as a product development engineer designing and building complex screw driven material testing systems including both prototype and production units. I've also consulted on numerous projects in various industries including packaging, chemical dispensing, and toys. Currently, my capacity includes consulting, joint development, design collaboration, and prototype development and evaluation. I am open to contract (work for hire) arrangements in addition to licensing.

I work on products that need more than just a PCB, a CAD model, or a piece of firmware done separately. My focus is building complete electrical and mechanical systems where the electronics, enclosure, embedded behavior, and real-world function all make sense together. That includes embedded devices, IoT products, sensor-based systems, custom hardware, and prototypes that need to move from concept into something practical and buildable. My work usually sits in the middle of the problems that slow product development down. A board does not fit the enclosure the right way. A mechanical design creates assembly issues. A sensor works in testing but becomes unreliable once the product is fully integrated. A prototype looks finished but still is not ready for manufacturing. I help solve those issues by thinking across the full system instead of treating electrical, mechanical, and embedded work as isolated tasks. I work with CAD, embedded systems, hardware integration, product architecture, and design refinement with a strong focus on function, fit, reliability, and manufacturability. I pay close attention to how parts go together, how electronics behave inside real mechanical constraints, and how early design decisions affect testing, assembly, serviceability, and production cost later. That approach is especially important in IoT and connected products, where hardware, physical layout, sensing, power, and control logic all depend on each other. Some projects need early concept development. Others need help fixing weak points in an existing prototype, improving integration, or preparing a design for fabrication and production. In both cases, I bring practical engineering judgment, clear communication, and a product-minded approach that keeps the work grounded in real use, not just design theory.
