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.

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 multidisciplinary Product Development Engineer with 8+ years of engineering experience and 200+ successfully completed projects**, delivering innovative, production-ready solutions across mechanical engineering, embedded electronics, PCB design, simulation, and IoT product development. I help companies, startups, and R&D teams transform ideas into reliable, manufacturable products by combining advanced mechanical engineering with embedded hardware and firmware development. My expertise covers the complete product development lifecycle from concept generation, system architecture, electronic design, mechanical design, simulation, prototyping, testing, validation, manufacturing documentation, and production support. Rather than treating mechanical, electrical, and software development as separate disciplines, I integrate them into a unified engineering workflow that optimizes product performance, manufacturability, reliability, and cost. ✅ Core Engineering Expertise ⭐ Mechanical Product Design & Engineering • Product Design & Development • Mechanical System Architecture • 3D CAD Modeling & Complex Assemblies • Machine Design • Mechanism Design • Reverse Engineering • Design Optimization • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) • Design for Assembly (DFA) • Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis • GD&T (ASME Y14.5) • Manufacturing Drawings • Injection Molded Plastic Parts • Sheet Metal Design • CNC Machining • Casting & Fabrication • 3D Printing & Rapid Prototyping • Production Documentation ⭐ Simulation & Engineering Analysis • Finite Element Analysis (FEA) • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) • Thermal Analysis • Heat Transfer • Structural Analysis • Stress & Deformation Analysis • Fatigue & Life Prediction • Modal & Vibration Analysis • Flow Simulation • Pressure Drop Optimization • Heat Exchanger Design • HVAC Engineering • Cooling System Optimization • Multiphysics Simulation • Engineering Validation ⭐ Embedded Systems Engineering Designing intelligent embedded systems from concept to production. • Embedded System Architecture • STM32 • ESP32 • Texas Instruments (MSP430, Tiva C, C2000) • NXP LPC & i.MX RT • Nordic nRF52 / nRF53 • Microchip PIC32 & dsPIC • Raspberry Pi • Arduino ⭐ Embedded Firmware Development • Embedded C / C++ • Bare-Metal Programming • FreeRTOS • RTOS Architecture • Bootloaders • DMA • Interrupt Systems • Peripheral Drivers • Low-Power Design • Device Drivers • Real-Time Control Systems • Firmware Optimization • Hardware Bring-Up • Debugging & Validation ⭐ Electronic Hardware & PCB Design • Electronic Circuit Design • Analog & Digital Electronics • Mixed-Signal Design • Schematic Capture • Multi-Layer PCB Design • High-Speed PCB Layout • RF PCB Design • Power Electronics • Signal Integrity • EMC / EMI Design • Manufacturing Files • PCB Review • Prototype Validation ⭐ PCB Design Tools • Altium Designer • KiCad • Eagle • EasyEDA • Target 3001 ⭐ Communication Protocols • UART • SPI • I²C • CAN • USB • Ethernet • RS-232 • RS-485 • Modbus • BLE • Wi-Fi • Zigbee • LoRa • MQTT • WebSockets ⭐ FPGA & Digital Design • Verilog • VHDL • FPGA System Design • Digital Signal Processing • Hardware Acceleration • Custom Logic Development ⭐ Power Electronics & Motion Control • Power Supply Design • Battery Management • Motor Drivers • BLDC Control • PMSM Control • Field Oriented Control (FOC) • PID Control • Industrial Automation • Embedded Motion Control • Power Management ⭐ IoT & Connected Product Development I develop complete IoT solutions from hardware to cloud. • Smart Device Development • Wireless Sensor Networks • Edge Computing • Cloud Connectivity • Remote Monitoring • Real-Time Data Acquisition • Device Management • OTA Firmware Updates • MQTT Systems • REST APIs • Secure Connected Devices Cloud Platforms • AWS • Microsoft Azure • Google Cloud ⭐ Software Integration • Desktop Applications • Embedded Applications • Device Configuration Tools • IoT Dashboards • Data Logging • Analytics • Cloud APIs • Mobile Device Integration ⭐ Complete Product Development Services I provide complete engineering support throughout the entire product lifecycle. ✔ Product Requirements Analysis ✔ System Architecture ✔ Mechanical Design ✔ Electronic Hardware Design ✔ PCB Development ✔ Embedded Firmware ✔ Simulation & Engineering Analysis ✔ Thermal Optimization ✔ Mechanical Validation ✔ Prototype Development ✔ Design Verification Testing (DVT) ✔ Manufacturing Documentation ✔ BOM Development ✔ Supplier Support ✔ Prototype Assembly ✔ Production Engineering ✔ Product Optimization ✔ Technical Documentation ⭐ Industries Served • Industrial Equipment • Industrial Automation • Robotics • Consumer Electronics • Internet of Things (IoT) • Medical Devices • Automotive E

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.
