North County San Diego
Senior Mechanical Engineering for San Diego Hardware Teams
Direct senior-level support for teams defining, designing, prototyping, manufacturing, or improving physical products.
Local when hardware access matters. Structured for remote work when it does not.
San Diego hardware programs span aerospace and space systems, medical and laboratory equipment, robotics, automation, manufacturing equipment, and commercial products. The common challenge is balancing performance, packaging, suppliers, cost, and validation from the outset.
Remote work is organized around controlled inputs, documented decisions, and clear reviews. On-site hardware evaluations, technical sessions, supplier visits, and testing can be arranged when direct access materially improves the outcome.
Common local needs
- Feasible mechanical architecture for a new product
- CAD and drawing development tied to a defined product or manufacturing decision
- Mechanism, structure, packaging, tolerance, CFD, or FEA development
- Prototype geometry and question-focused build support
- Prototype-to-production transition and supplier readiness
- Cost reduction, reliability improvement, or product redesign
- Independent design review or failure investigation
Local logistics
Direct work with Jared, on-site by arrangement.
Do you work only with clients in San Diego?
No. I am based in North County San Diego and structure remote or on-site work according to project needs.
Can you review hardware on-site?
Yes, by arrangement, when direct access, technical sessions, supplier work, or testing materially benefits the engagement.
What should an initial inquiry include?
Provide a non-confidential summary, current stage, primary mechanical problem, timing, and available evidence.
Direct conversation
Discuss a mechanical engineering project in San Diego.
Send a concise, non-confidential brief. You will work directly with Jared from the first review through final handoff.
