Paul Korzenecki, P.E. is a mechanical engineer with a broad background in design of new products, industrial machinery and automated assembly systems and is a principal of Korzenecki & Company, LLC - a provider of Engineering Consulting Services for Start-ups, Entrepreneurs and Inventors.
We present innovative, cost-effective, high-impact, outside-the-box solutions. Experience includes concept, quote, prototype, design and manufacture of new products, custom automation and machinery for diverse industries
Projects have included work remotely and on-site throughout the US, Europe and Asia meeting delivery, performance and budgetary goals.
Experience includes mechanical design with Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor and OnShape as well as electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic design and standards compliance.
Paul's education includes Mechanical Engineering and MBA degrees from the University of Notre Dame, and a MS Manufacturing degree from Western Michigan University. He is an Illinois Registered Professional Engineer and holds multiple patents.
Here is some feedback:
“Paul is a goal oriented engineer who brings insight and a tremendous variety of engineering talent and experience to any project. He is an "out of the box" thinker. Paul is a team player who fosters and encourages a team work attitude. His technical knowledge, management skills and ability to stay focused on the strategic objective is impressive.”
“Paul is an outstanding design engineer. He showed tremendous talent and determination while working on high pressure projects which ultimately became industry standard machines. I consider Paul to be a professional and a gentleman.”
"Paul is brilliant. He solved our problems in a highly creative and inspiring way. He is an absolutely genius engineer and I recommend him without any reservation."
"Paul is a detailed engineer who applies those same skills to managing the engineering function. Paul did a great job of taking a unorganized group of engineers and technicians and created a cohesive team focused on formal engineering methods and project deployment. Paul left a permanent positive mark on the team and its individual members.”
It is a great profession. There is the satisfaction of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realization in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings jobs and homes to men. Then it elevates the standards of living and adds to the comforts of life. That is the engineer’s high privilege.
The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers. He cannot, like the architects, cover his failures with trees and vines. He cannot, like the politicians, screen his shortcomings by blaming his opponents and hope that the people will forget. The engineer simply cannot deny that he did it. If his works do not work, he is damned. That is the phantasmagoria that haunts his nights and dogs his days. He comes from the job at the end of the day resolved to calculate it again. He wakes in the night in a cold sweat and puts something on paper that looks silly in the morning. All day he shivers at the thought of the bugs which will inevitably appear to jolt his smooth consummation.
On the other hand, unlike the doctor his is not a life among the weak. Unlike the soldier, destruction is not his purpose. Unlike the lawyer, quarrels are not his daily bread. To the engineer falls the job of clothing the bare bones of science with life, comfort and hope.
No doubt as years go by people forget which engineer did it, even if they ever knew. Or some politician puts his name on it. Or they credit it to some promoter who used other people’s money with which to finance it. But the engineer himself looks back at the unending stream of goodness that flows from his successes with satisfactions that few professions may know. And the verdict of his fellow professionals is all the accolade he wants.
