Electromechanical Systems Expert Witnesses
Start Electromechanical Systems Expert Search
Electromechanical systems expert witness candidates typically have an advanced degree and extensive experience as an electrical engineer or mechanical engineer. While many consulting engineer professionals have technical expertise, an expert witness carries the additional responsibility of providing testimony before the court in a manner whereby lay people (the judge and jurors) can understand the evidence. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, the lead attorney may require a technologist with prior expert witness testimony experience. Candidates may be designated as a licensed professional engineer, and involved with an industry association such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and EASA.
Electromechanics is the interaction of electrical and mechanical systems. Electromechanical systems utilize both electrical and mechanical processes and are used prevalently by power companies; all fuel-based generators convert mechanical movement to electrical power. Robotics (such as warehouse automation and an advanced medical device) are rapidly growing areas in the electromechanical space.
Often, matters requiring electromechanical systems expert witness services involve intellectual property, such as patent infringement litigation or trade secret disputes. A forensic engineer can reverse engineer components to prove (or disprove) intellectual property infringement or theft. An expert with specialized knowledge in electromechanical systems might also provide testimony in a product liability case involving consumer electronics, assist with an accident reconstruction, or provide expertise in a personal injury case. In addition, a law firm may request an electromechanical systems specialist for pre-litigation engineering consulting services. Litigation support work could include a prior art search, forensic investigation, expert report preparation, expert opinion, depositions, and expert testimony in the courtroom.
