Our Team . . . Meet the Owner . . .

Eldon Goates is the founder and owner of Synthesis Engineering Services. He received his Mechanical Engineering Degree from Brigham Young University, but that was just the beginning.

Eldon worked with Ford Motor company for 6+ years the in Advanced Powertrain areas researching, designing and inventing all sorts of automotive (mostly power transmission related) new technologies. His particular areas of focus included electro-hydraulic control systems, mechanical clutches, linkage mechanisms and system level functional design & analysis.

Eldon left Ford to lead an engineering research team in the development of a new slurry pump. By applying new technology in both manufacturing and design to a relatively mature industry, a new pump with superior efficiency and wear characteristics was developed. The application of sound engineering principles like statistical design of experiments and reliability methods directed the design to produce an outstanding new product.

In 1996 Eldon branched out on his own and started Synthesis Engineering Services. Since then he has focused his engineering and artistic talents on developing products and technologies required by our customers. As part of this Eldon has become an expert in the use of Pro/Engineer for design -- especially in development of skills for working with complex and organic shapes. (CEP, Certified Engineering Provider, 1996).

For Eldon, engineering is a lot more than just work, it's a way to have fun! In the picture he is seen with one of his passions -- the motorcycle streamliner he designed and built to race on the Bonneville Salt Flats. He also uses his engineering skills in other hobbies and passions like bicycling, audio systems and computers.
To meet personally with Eldon, call or e-mail us now. You will discover that the skills and determination of the owner set a course for excellence. Your decision to work with Synthesis Engineering Services is one of the best you will make.
