Senior Electromechanical & Digital Twin Engineer
Markforged · Full-time
Sep 2025 –
Aug 2026
11 mos
New York
- Architected the mechanical and electronic design for next-generation industrial 3D printers, utilizing SolidWorks for complex multi-body assemblies and Altium for custom motor-control and sensor-fusion PCBs.
- Engineered a custom Three.js 3D Web Viewer for the company’s cloud platform, allowing customers to interactively slice 3D models, visualize toolpaths, and monitor real-time machine telemetry (temperature, axis position) via a WebGL digital twin.
- Designed injection-molded enclosures and sheet-metal chassis in SolidWorks, running FEA simulations to optimize for thermal dissipation and structural rigidity while reducing material costs by 18%.
- Routed high-speed, multi-layer PCBs in Altium, integrating stepper drivers, thermistors, and IoT communication modules, ensuring strict EMI/EMC compliance for industrial environments.
- Bridged the hardware-software gap by writing custom GLSL shaders in Three.js to visually simulate material extrusion and layer adhesion in the web browser based on actual machine G-code data. -
Hardware & Interactive 3D Developer
National Instruments (Emerson) · Full-time
Aug 2022 –
May 2026
3 yrs 9 mos
Austin, TX, USA
- Designed rack-mounted test and measurement hardware, creating robust sheet-metal enclosures in SolidWorks and laying out complex mixed-signal PCBs in KiCad/Altium for high-precision data acquisition.
- Built an interactive 3D Web Viewer using Three.js and WebSockets, enabling remote engineers to visualize the internal state of the hardware, rotate 3D models of the rack units, and view live sensor data overlaid on the 3D geometry.
- Optimized thermal management and airflow in SolidWorks for densely packed PCBs, utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to prevent component overheating.
- Integrated IoT telemetry modules onto custom PCBs, allowing the physical hardware to stream real-time voltage, current, and temperature data to the Three.js web dashboard.
- Collaborated with firmware and web teams to ensure the GLTF 3D models exported from SolidWorks were perfectly optimized (draco compression, texture atlasing) for smooth 60 FPS rendering in the browser. -
Electromechanical Design Engineer (Consumer Electronics)
Cresta · Full-time
Aug 2019 –
May 2022
2 yrs 9 mos
San Francisco, CA, USA
- Designed consumer and prosumer electronic development boards and shields, handling the full lifecycle from schematic capture and PCB layout in Altium to enclosure design in SolidWorks.
- Developed an interactive 3D Product Configurator for the e-commerce website using Three.js, allowing users to visually stack different Arduino boards, select shields, and see real-time compatibility checks and 3D exploded views.
- Created ergonomic, injection-molded enclosures for flagship products, designing custom snap-fits, living hinges, and ESD-safe internal standoffs in SolidWorks.
- Managed BOM optimization and component sourcing, redesigning PCBs to mitigate supply chain shortages without compromising electrical performance or form factor.
- Exported and optimized SolidWorks assemblies into GLTF/GLB formats, writing custom Three.js scripts to handle interactive camera controls, lighting, and material swapping for the web viewer. -
Mechanical Design & Prototyping Engineer
Satellogic · Full-time
Jul 2017 –
May 2019
1 yrs 10 mos
Austin County, TX, USA
- Designed structural components and deployment mechanisms for low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites using SolidWorks, performing rigorous tolerance analysis and mass properties optimization.
- Assisted in the integration of custom PCBs into satellite payloads, designing 3D-printed and CNC-machined fixtures to secure boards against launch vibrations.
- Prototyped early 3D web viewers using Three.js to visualize satellite orbital telemetry and ground station tracking data for internal engineering dashboards.
- Conducted environmental testing (thermal vacuum, vibration) on electromechanical assemblies, iterating on SolidWorks designs to improve structural margins and thermal pathways.
- Established foundational DFM (Design for Manufacturing) practices for the mechanical team, transitioning early prototypes from 3D-printed plastics to flight-grade aluminum and carbon fiber composites.
Education
- Amsterdam University Of Applied Sciences bachelor degeee in engineering, Computer Science, 2016 2012 – 2016
Other experience
- Browser-Based Physics & Engineering Sandbox Game (Three.js) Developed a lightweight, browser-native 3D puzzle game using Three.js and Cannon.js, where players assemble mechanical components, connect gears, and route power to solve engineering challenges. Implemented custom WebGL/GLSL shaders for realistic metallic and emissive material rendering, and integrated WebSocket multiplayer to allow collaborative building and real-time physics synchronization.
