My name is Jesse Zipf and I am the founder and CEO of ForgeWorx Automation LLC. I have been an Automation Engineer in the manufacturing industry for over 15 years. I recently started ForgeWorx to deliver the same high quality engineering as the large integrators but at a fraction of the cost. I have worked in various sectors including industrial, medical, safety, custom manufacturing. A graduate from Penn State University I began my journey as an electro-mechanical engineer but quickly developed into much more. From initial conceptual design to real world installation. I can do it all. I am open for any and all projects, big or small, single or ongoing. It can be a simple programming task with your current software and setup to a whole new control system design and install. I can provide single part CAD work or design entire systems. I can program your robotics or design a robotics system for you. I can integrate components and systems into your current setup or create something new. If you have any idea for improvement I can make it a reality. I can even just consult and give you suggestions, details, and resources if you want to do the work yourself. I can provide as little or as much engineering support as you need.

I am a graduate Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Pittsburgh's Swanson School of Engineering. I am in a dual field of Structural and Robotic Engineering. Right now I am working on a structural project that will be going on the International Space Station in 2019 and a Solar Panel Project for a small village in Panama. Outside of Engineering I really enjoy making music and helping set up for concerts.

I am a mechanical engineer that has developed a passion for product development, design, and manufacturing. Since my graduation from the University of Pittsburgh I have been working for a small manufacturing company for 4+ years. My main tasks there are 3D modeling, technical drawing for manufacturing and quality control. I use SolidWorks to create part models, assembly models and 2D technical drawings. I also utilize SolidWorks to design for manufacturing, check interference on assemblies, animation and visualization of my projects. I am capable of handling all aspects of a project from initial design all the way to manufacturing. My experience throughout the countless parts and products I have worked on over the years will help me bring your project through the design process efficiently.
