I’m a mechanical engineer with hands-on industry experience in CAD design, manufacturing processes, and product development, from early concept sketches to functional 3D models and production-ready documentation. At AMADA America, Inc., I analyzed and improved manufacturing workflows, collaborated across engineering teams, and developed detailed CAD models and technical documentation for complex machinery. I’ve supported product updates, process optimization, and quality improvements across multiple departments, contributing to faster production times and more accurate designs. I specialize in 2D drafting and 3D CAD modeling, with deep knowledge of design for manufacturability (DFM), geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and prototype-ready documentation. Whether you need an idea transformed into a solid model or full technical drawings for manufacturing, I bring both engineering insight and creative problem-solving to the table. 🔧 Core Services & Skills: - 2D CAD drawings and drafting (for documentation or production) - 3D modeling using SolidWorks - Concept-to-prototype development for parts or products - Mechanical assemblies, weldments, and exploded views - STL/STEP file prep for 3D printing or CNC - Stress analysis, tolerancing, and material consideration - Technical drawing updates for existing machines or components - Photorealistic rendering for presentations and investor decks 🏆 Key Experience: - Created 2D & 3D documentation for over 10 machine types, collaborating with welders, QA, and R&D - Led work studies and implemented process improvements to boost production efficiency - Developed CAD models and welding specs for heat-treated materials - Designed and built a fuel-efficient competition vehicle in the Shell Eco-marathon - Prototyped mechanical parts using 3D printing, CNC machining, and laser cutting in academic labs - Reverse-engineered and improved mechanical designs as part of hands-on coursework ✅ Why Choose Me: - Engineering-driven design mindset backed by real-world manufacturing experience - Highly proficient in CAD tools and technical documentation - Comfortable translating rough ideas or sketches into ready-to-use models - Detail-focused, collaborative, and deadline-oriented - Passionate about design, innovation, and turning ideas into engineered reality Let’s bring your concept to life, whether it’s a new product, a design update, or a manufacturing model. I’m here to support every stage of your project from sketch to prototype. Send me a message and let’s get started!

Athalia Solis is a first generation Latina college graduate from the University of California, Merced with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Having begun her academic career at Rio Hondo College, she discovered her passion for engineering after accidentally taking a hand drafting class for engineering. After receiving three associates degrees and an architectural drafting certificate, Athalia transferred to UC Merced. At UC Merced Athalia was exposed to various disciplines of engineering through her coursework, research, internships and Award Winning Senior Project. Her work includes solar thermal energy, photovoltaic energy, materials, strengths, waste handling, and electrical engineering. She has been recognized for her hard work, leadership and expertise having received the Entrepreneur in Training Scholarship Award, Scholarship to Aid Rio STEM Student Recipient (STARR), and Innovate to Grow – Top Finisher. Moving forward, Athalia is looking to apply her passion of learning towards designing solutions for complex engineering problems. Striving to grow and demonstrate her abilities, Athalia is working towards obtaining her Engineering in Training. In addition, she would ultimately like to earn a Master's Degree in a specialized field of engineering.
