I will review your hardware product concept and viability
About this Gig
I will review your product concept or mechanical design to identify engineering risks, manufacturability issues, and potential failure points before costly prototyping or production mistakes occur.
With 10+ years in mechanical engineering and product development, I help inventors, startups, and product teams evaluate hardware designs through a practical engineering and manufacturing lens.
Services may include:
- Product viability assessment
- Structural and mechanical design review
- Design for manufacture (DFM) assessment
- Assembly and tolerance review
- Material and process selection guidance
- Identification of key engineering risks and constraints
- FEA stress analysis where applicable
- Prioritised recommendations and next steps
Suitable for early-stage concepts, prototype development, product refinement, pre-production review, and manufacturing readiness assessment.
Depending on the selected package, deliverables may include written feedback, consultation calls, engineering observations, risk summaries, and actionable recommendations.
Please contact me before ordering for larger or highly specialised projects so scope and deliverables can be confirmed accurately.

FAQ
What types of products can you review?
Consumer products, industrial equipment, mechanisms, fabricated assemblies, automotive components, and general mechanical hardware.
Do you provide CAD modelling or detailed design?
This gig is focused on engineering review and risk assessment. CAD or detailed development can be discussed separately if required.
Can you review existing CAD files and drawings?
Yes. STEP files, PDFs, drawings, renders, and photos can all be reviewed depending on the package selected.
Is FEA included?
Preliminary FEA may be included in higher-tier packages where appropriate. More detailed analysis can be added as an extra service.
Will I receive a written report?
Yes. All packages include written engineering feedback and prioritised recommendations.
Can you help before prototyping or manufacturing?
Yes. Most reviews are intended to identify issues before prototype, tooling, or production spend.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, NDAs can be signed before reviewing confidential projects.
