What MP Consulting does

MP Consulting (MPC) is a privately-held engineering and design consulting firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Palatine, Illinois. The firm is led by CEO and founder Mitul Patel, who previously held product development roles at Motorola and Google and holds a personal portfolio of 10 patents. MPC provides end-to-end product development services organized across seven core practice areas: electrical design (schematic design, PCB layout, power management, antenna/RF), mechanical design (3D/2D CAD, prototyping, DFM, reverse engineering), firmware design (RTOS, IoT, FOTA, bare metal programming, customized Linux), app development (Android, iOS, Flutter, AWS, web), industrial design, program management, and supply chain management.

The underlying technology stack spans Cadence and Altium for electronic design, AWS for cloud and app development, and various prototyping and manufacturing technologies. MPC also operates proprietary in-house capabilities including a fully anechoic acoustics test chamber and RF testing facilities (including CMW500 cellular modem validation without carrier approvals), and supports certification compliance across CE, UL, FCC, IEC, MIL, IP, IK, HALT, and HAST standards. A 100+ vendor network across India, USA, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea underpins supply chain and BOM cost optimization. Through its sister entity A Making Company, LLC (36,000 sq ft facility in Palatine), MPC offers domestic prototyping and small-batch assembly (5 units to 1,000 units/month), reverse logistics, and warehousing.

The business model is professional services revenue from project-based engagements priced on quote basis, with multi-year contract cadences. The company serves clients ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 enterprises across medical/healthcare, automotive (autonomous/LiDAR), and IoT/wearables verticals; named customers include Luminar Technologies, Enlighted, Proxfinity, Neopenda, Tango (ActiveProtective), and Jiobit. GTM motion is direct enterprise field sales; distribution is via direct client engagement with no marketplace or channel presence. The firm has scaled from a solo operation to 130+ employees across US and India locations, completed 100+ projects, and shipped 50+ products.

Core offering

MP Consulting is an engineering and design consulting firm that delivers end-to-end product development services spanning electrical design, mechanical design, firmware development, software/app development, industrial design, program management, and supply chain management. The firm takes client products from concept through manufacturing, working with startups through Fortune 500 enterprises, and pairs its consulting work with sister entity A Making Company LLC for prototyping and domestic manufacturing.

Product overview

MP Consulting is an engineering and design consulting firm that provides turn-key product development solutions. Rather than a single unified product, MP Consulting offers an integrated suite of professional services organized across seven core practice areas: Electrical Design Services (schematic design, PCB layout, power management, antenna/RF), Mechanical Design Services (CAD modeling, prototyping, reverse engineering, DFM), Firmware Design Services (driver development, RTOS, IoT, bare metal programming), App Development (Android, iOS, Flutter, AWS, web applications), Industrial Design (concept ideation, rendering, surfacing), Program Management (inventory, forecasting, scheduling), and Supply Chain Management (BOM, vendor sourcing, cost reduction). These service lines can be engaged individually or combined end-to-end to take a product from concept through manufacturing. The company operates in partnership with A Making Company LLC, a sister entity providing domestic manufacturing and assembly services.
