About
I am Abel, a Mechanical Engineer with experience in the pre-engineered steel structures industry as a Research & Development (R&D) Engineer, where I design warehouses, mezzanines, stages, and racking systems while ensuring they are manufacturable, cost-effective, and easy to assemble and install. I also collaborate with production teams throughout the manufacturing and installation phases to ensure designs meet project requirements, taking products from concept to production.
I have also designed machinery, including dewatering screw press machines, sand mixer machines, manual forklifts, miniature arbor presses, EcoStoves, boom gates, potato dryer machines, and car washing machines.
As a freelance Mechanical CAD Designer, I have completed projects involving 3D-printable products, electronic enclosures, automotive components, reverse engineering from drawings and reference images, and product designs prepared for manufacturing and mass production.
My expertise includes:
• Mechanical Product Design
•Machine Design
• Steel Structure Design
• Design for 3D Printing
• Sheet Metal Design
• 3D CAD Modeling
• PCB Enclosures
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
• Technical & Manufacturing Drawings
Software Expertise:
•SOLIDWORKS
•Autodesk Inventor
•CATIA
•ANSYS
•SAP2000
•Idea Statica
•AutoCAD

Experience
- Research & Development Engineer Ethiopian Steel Profiling and Building PLC · Full-time Mar 2025 – Present 1 yrs 4 mos Bishoftu, Oromia, Ethiopia As a Research and Development Engineer, I am responsible for the complete product development process, from identifying customer needs to supporting production and installation. My work involves researching market and customer requirements, generating product concepts through brainstorming and hand sketches, and optimizing designs for functionality, aesthetics, and manufacturability. I develop detailed 3D CAD models, perform engineering analyses in accordance with applicable codes and standards, and document technical findings and analysis results. I also ensure designs are cost-effective, easy to manufacture and install, and follow projects throughout the production and installation phases to verify that design requirements are successfully implemented.
- Product Designer/ Mechanical Engineer Self-employed · Freelance Feb 2025 – Present 1 yrs 5 mos Bishoftu, Oromia, Ethiopia As a Freelance Mechanical CAD Designer, I have designed a variety of products for manufacturing and 3D printing based on client concepts, engineering drawings, reference images, and dimensional data. My projects include a 3D-printable RC truck cabin, an electronic enclosure integrating a Raspberry Pi, RealSense camera, LED spotlights, and power supply, rear window louvers for a panel van intended for mold-making and mass production, and a 3D-print ready component for mold-making applications. My responsibilities included developing accurate 3D CAD models, optimizing designs for manufacturability and 3D printing, preparing production-ready files (STL, STEP, and native CAD formats), and collaborating closely with clients to refine designs and ensure all technical and functional requirements were met.
