I’ve working in automotive engineering for several years with Paul and he would be a top choice when building a team. Paul brings a realistic view to the design problem with a thoughtful approach to understanding the actual situation and target outcome. Paul develops and performs thorough analysis that he relates and correlates to physical testing. Paul understands manufacturing, timing, and cost constraints which allow him to bring a well engineered product to market.

Paul is a very technically competent & detail oriented professional. His engineering knowledge is deep and he really rises to produce great out of the box ideas when appropriate. He also has a fantastic grasp on reality and avoids needlessly complex solutions in favor of meeting deadlines and budgets.

I have worked with Paul both in and out of professional settings for a few years. He is knowledgeable and meticulous in design work and FEA analysis. I’m impressed with his ability to take on new challenges and have enjoyed collaborating with him on a number of projects. I will continue to work with Paul and recommend his services for your design challenges.

Im a web developer who has collaborated with Shear Development and I have nothing but praise for their work. Im not an engineer so I needed explanations in terms that I could understand. Professional and clear communication with work to back it up.

Shear Development provided excellent services to my company, SweetSense Inc., during the development of a successful proposal to NASA. The Shear Development team worked tirelessly and collaboratively to ensure that we submitted a high quality proposal. I am pleased to contract Shear Development to provide CAD design, technical analysis and prototyping services in fulfillment of our NASA contract.

Paul is a smart, compassionate, and hard working man. I worked with him for many years and he was always very approachable and enjoyable to work with. He would take the time to answer my FEA questions and explain the principles and theory when reviewing analysis results. Not all engineers are great at communicating and mentoring others, but Paul is.

I worked with Paul for many years. He can plan, manage and execute complex technical projects either on his own or as a member of a team. His broad range of skills makes him invaluable on any project.

We sub-contracted some CAD design and support work to Shear Development, which resulted in productive collaboration and an overall positive experience. Diligent execution, on-time delivery, professional communication. Look no further.

I worked directly with Paul for eight years and I can attest to his engineering rigor and quality of work. His thoroughness & attention to detail will ensure accurate designs and calculations (which will save the client time and money throughout the product development process).I can confidently recommend Shear Development for any FEA & product development work.

I hired Paul as our Field Engineer for an IoT enabled Food kiosk we are beta testing in Portland, OR. The kiosk is a highly complex one-of-kind priceless prototype. Paul has repeatedly provided expert level assembly, disassembly, testing, rewiring and troubleshooting support. He has been nothing short of a life saver on numerous occasions often working long and overtime hours to perform upgrades, maintenance and repairs. Paul is the rare combination of superb communicator, technical wizard and prototype surgeon. He is calm under pressure and an exceedingly skilled real time problem solver. Paul is a critical resource to me and my team. I hold Paul and Shear Development with the highest regard and look forward to continued work together.

Rinehart Motion Systems has been working with Shear Development to outsource some CAD work. We have found Paul to be easy to work with and quite professional.
