Lincoln E.

I help companies design, prototype, and troubleshoot complex hardware systems, especially where mechanical, electrical, thermal, and control systems must work together reliably in demanding real-world environments.

I am a former Head of R&D at Northrop Grumman Marine Systems, with experience in turbines, generators, electric motors, rotating machinery, and large-scale power systems. My work also includes combustion systems, battery systems, power electronics, embedded hardware, and full product development from concept through working prototype.

I work with startups and established companies on:

• hardware system design
• rotating machinery and power systems
• combustion, thermal, and fluid systems
• battery and embedded hardware
• controls, instrumentation, and industrial automation
• diagnosing and solving difficult engineering problems

I focus on practical, buildable solutions with strong attention to reliability, manufacturability, safety, and system integration. I’m often brought in when a project needs senior-level engineering direction to move from concept to a working system efficiently.

I studied engineering and business at Stanford University and have 20+ years of experience working with venture-backed startups, helping connect engineering decisions to product development, scaling, and execution.
