Background

About Chris Redinger

Bringing novel hardware products to life has been the core of my engineering career. I specialize in mechanical engineering, product development, and manufacturing/process engineering, helping inventors and companies turn ideas into functional, scalable, and durable products. Early on, I saw a common challenge: founders and teams stretched thin, trying to juggle product development, funding, and commercialization all at once. Many took on technical roles they weren’t equipped for—wearing the hats of a systems engineer, project manager, and manufacturing lead—while still worrying about market fit and production. That’s where I come in. I help bridge the gap between design, prototyping, and production, ensuring products are not just innovative but also manufacturable, cost-effective, and user-friendly. My work spans fluid systems, medical devices, consumer products, and industrial equipment, with a focus on: Mechanical design & engineering (durability, waterproofing, compliance) Prototyping & testing (iterative design, proof-of-concept validation) Manufacturing & process engineering (DFM, cost optimization, vendor sourcing) Systems integration & project management (bringing all the moving parts together) I've worked with companies developing drones, medical sensors, wearable devices, test equipment, baby products, and electric toothbrushes—ensuring technical excellence from concept through production. If you need a hands-on engineer who understands both the big picture and the details of bringing a hardware product to market, let’s connect. Shoot me a DM!
