Atrick Designs simplified, elegant, and innovative products with great user experiences. We have the multidisciplinary skills and experience to think, design, and build across disciplines and manufacturing techniques. Work with us for a better way forward with your product.

Your Technical Co-Founder Without The Equity Cost

I bridge mechanical, electrical, and software to build hardware products that actually work in production. Most product development consultants specialize in one discipline. I see the whole system - which means I catch the expensive integration problems before they happen, not after your production line is down.

What I Do

For Startups:
You need working prototypes fast, but you can't afford a full engineering team yet. I take your concept from napkin sketch to investor-ready hardware - or from working prototype to scalable production design. No equity required.

For Established Companies:
Your product line has reliability issues, your RMA rates are killing margins, or your project is stuck because specialists can't talk to each other. I diagnose what's actually broken, not what people think is broken, then fix it.

Recent Results

- Reduced product RMA rates by 90% through design simplification and root cause elimination

- Increased machine duty cycle from 20% to 100% while reducing assembly time 20%

- Designed two custom robots (SCARA and gantry) for automated vending systems

- Built GaN motor controllers (80V/100A) for electric vehicle applications

- Achieved certifications: ETL, CSA, CE, IEC 60601, KC across multiple product lines

- Invented multiple clean energy technologies and built working prototypes in 16 months with near zero funding

Technical Capabilities

Mechanical: SolidWorks CAD, sheet metal, castings, weldments, suspension systems, robotics, reverse engineering, 3D scanning/printing

Electrical: PCB design (KiCAD), power electronics, motor controllers, PLC/automation, control systems

Software: C++, firmware development, ladder logic, embedded systems

Manufacturing: DFM / DFA optimization, weld fixtures, assembly process design, safety certifications (UL/ETL/IEC 60601)

Industries I Work With

- Clean energy & energy storage
- E-mobility, electric, & niche vehicles
- Robotics & automation
- Industrial equipment
- Consumer hardware, wearables, devices, technology
- Manufacturing innovation

How We Work Together

Fractional Engineering Leadership - Ongoing technical guidance for your team (weekly/monthly retainer)

Project-Based Development - Specific deliverable from concept to working prototype or production design

Problem-Solving Engagements - Fix what's broken: diagnose issues, redesign for reliability, optimize for manufacturing

Rapid Prototyping - Prove your concept works before you commit to scale (days to weeks, not months)

Why Work With Me

✓ I predict project outcomes with uncomfortable accuracy (usually correct when others are optimistic)

✓ I can help teach your team competence, not just hand them solutions

✓ I see mechanical-electrical-software integration problems specialists miss

✓ I've managed production at scale (300+ units/month) so designs actually work in assembly and manufacturing

✓ No buzzwords, no false promises, no surprise costs

Let's Talk

Have a hardware problem that's stuck? Need prototypes fast? Want someone who can bridge disciplines and actually get things built?
