I am a Themed Entertainment industry professional with years of experience in technical direction and design on projects in live theater, theme parks, retail, live concert production, performance venue consultation, special event production, product development and mechanical/civil engineering. I am seeking new and challenging design work in 3D and 2D CAD programs. In the past 10 years I have done an extensive amount of work in scenery and large scale entertainment. More recently I have been doing more intricate machine design and product development work and would like to cultivate that into my own custom shop. I pride myself in being efficient and organized, resulting in the best profit for me, and product for my clients.

I’m José Puga, a Mechanical & Mechatronics Design Engineer driven by the intersection of precision engineering, automation, and creativity. I specialize in designing and prototyping intelligent systems — from custom actuators and motion control assemblies to complete electromechanical mechanisms. My background blends mechanical design, embedded electronics, and control systems, allowing me to approach every project as a complete system — not just a CAD model. Whether it’s developing 3D-printable prototypes, integrating sensors and PCBs into mechanical structures, or optimizing designs for manufacturability, I build solutions that are both functional and production-ready. I’ve worked on projects involving: 3D modeling & product design (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, OnShape) Motion systems & robotics (SCARA arms, linear actuators, servo systems) HMI integration & control interfaces (Nextion, Arduino, Raspberry Pi) Rapid prototyping & fabrication (3D printing, CNC, sheet metal) PCB design & embedded electronics (KiCad, EasyEDA, Altium) I’m passionate about turning ideas into working products that perform reliably in the real world — whether it’s a precision instrument, automation tool, or consumer-ready prototype. I value clear communication, engineering accuracy, and designs that reflect craftsmanship and purpose. If you’re looking for someone who can take your concept from sketch to functional prototype, combining engineering precision with creativity and discipline — I’d love to collaborate.
