Out of work or looking for work on the side?
Do you have any machine design experience, and/or are you open to relocation? If either answer is "yes" then contact me. I'm now working 'direct' for a consulting company in Charlotte, NC (formerly I was an independent), and we have more work than we can easily handle, designing machinery mostly. An extensive number of new machines for factory automation. It looks like it's going to last a while also, as long as we retain our biggest client. Work can be done out of your home on a consistent basis, but in order for there to be more than a bit of contract work you would have to be within easy driving distance of Charlotte and at least be available for meetings and trips to the factory we are automating. Otherwise there is the possiblity of a reasonably steady trickle of work like detailing parts and assemblies designed here and maybe sometimes some design work that can be done "in a vacuum".
