R&D/Mechanical Engineer
VELATRON TECHNOLOGIES
Sept 2025 – Dec 2025
In this role, I focused on creating and prototyping new manufacturing processes to improve consistency and efficiency on the production floor. I analyzed existing workflows, built and tested process prototypes, and developed custom tooling and CAD models to support their implementation. I translated these early concepts into reliable, repeatable procedures by producing clear work instructions for technicians. One notable project involved designing a high-voltage hi-pot testing enclosure that integrated safety and process control into a single, standardized workflow.
