I've been working on streamlining these things for myself, given the exact same pain points and limitations, and would be happy to share what I've learned. My contact info is in my bio.
I'm not comfortable sharing many specific details about my business publicly, in this forum. But I am comfortable sharing them with people who are where I was and want to get where I am. I'm happy to. I'm sure you understand.
In service of answering your question anyway. I'm a hardware product design engineer. I can take ownership over an entire complex piece of hardware (medical device, IT product, etc) and architect it, design it mechanically, electrically and do the systems engineering. I'm able to deliver entire complex hardware products that work well (more than well), can be mass manufactured, and meet cost targets. I've designed surgical robotics systems, artificial hearts and other class III implanted devices, stuff in the disney parks, times square and even the Smithsonian. I have a website about myself with more information at www.iancollmceachern.com
