Oleksandr R.
Senior Mechanical Engineer | Product Development, DFM & Manufacturing
About
I help companies develop new products and improve existing designs - from initial concept and 3D CAD to prototypes, testing, manufacturing documentation, tooling, and production.
My experience includes aerospace, UAVs, composite structures, industrial equipment, machinery, metal structures, ergonomic furniture, and custom mechanical products.
My work covers:
Mechanical design and 3D CAD
Product development from concept to production
Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
Prototyping and testing
Manufacturing drawings and documentation
Tooling, jigs, and fixtures
Manufacturing process development and optimization
Product redesign and cost reduction
Low- and medium-volume production launch
I combine mechanical design experience with practical manufacturing knowledge. This allows me to develop solutions that are not only technically sound, but also practical to manufacture, assemble, and maintain.
Available for remote engineering projects and consulting, with on-site engineering support when required.
