Joel,
I'm not sure I have interpreted your request correctly, but I will translate your request as I read it You want a guy with mechanical and electronic engineering expertise. Who must also be a logistics expert in the direction of sourcing unique prototyping material. In addition, should also have access to or use of a machine shop with the appropriate skills to make use of this access. It also appears you also wish this person to do development testing and failure analysis for the correction of initial engineering errors. Off hand, I would grade this level of knowledge equivalent to 40+ years of experience and education. For these services, you want to pay this person a small wage. As a person that meets these qualifications and currently earning 6 figures, I find this insulting.
Now perhaps I am incorrect and you really didn't mean what I read in your request. So I respectfully request you consider rewriting your requirements, because it appears your lack of responses indicate others, as well as myself, think you are looking for a free lunch.

I need a versatile person to make some parts and assemblies of a curve
tracer, bubble machine, kite camera kites, plywood photography mast, and
more. These may have commercial uses, maybe not. Ideally you would be
located within driving distance of Bloomfield, CT. Would be good to have
access to large open space to test kites. I have some projects that require
electronics design knowledge, such as battery-operated device to use
accelerometer to trigger short recorded messages, all solid-state. Must be
able to work from rough sketches and fill in details, order parts from
McMaster, etc. Don't answer if you are looking for big bucks! I'm just a
retired guy with a few projects on my plate. I will provide sketches and
ask you to quote on completed job. They don't have to be done fast. Would
start with pretty small jobs, and if all goes well, get into bigger ones.
If you are wondering what kind of crazy fella I am, go to:
www.halfbakery.com/user/flypaper I'm "flypaper". Also, to see photos of
bubble machine I designed, go to:

And

Also here is photo of first model of mapping gadget that I built:
http://home.earthlink.net/~joel_a_clark/tracer.jpg
What I need is new versions of these built from my sketches and your skill,
cleverness, and knowledge of manufacturing methods.
Please email me at joel_a_clark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx , with info about practical
machining, model making, hands-on stuff you know how to do.
To clarify, let me refer to the tracer and bubble machine photos. I would say building versions of those would not require the high level of experience that you mention. Mostly I'm trying to convey I don't have a detail part drawings, just informal layouts to work from. The electronics part was kind of vague, I'll admit. I mean pretty basic putting together off-the-shelf components. I don't mean to say a person has to be able to build electronics; that's just a possible future project.
Joel
