Rafael T.

I’m a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer and Project Manager with 15+ years of experience in mechanical design, industrial automation, robotics, and special-purpose machinery.

I specialise in Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks, creating practical, manufacturing-ready solutions from initial concepts through detailed design and production documentation.

My experience includes:

• Custom machinery and special-purpose equipment
• Industrial automation and robotic integration
• Complex 3D assemblies and mechanical mechanisms
• Manufacturing and fabrication drawings
• Sheet metal and structural components
• Design optimisation and Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
• Engineering documentation and BOMs
• Modifications and improvements to existing equipment
• Technical problem-solving and engineering support

I have worked closely with customers, engineers, production teams, and suppliers, giving me a strong understanding of the complete process from concept to manufacturing.

Beyond CAD modelling, I bring practical engineering judgement and manufacturing experience to every project. My goal is to develop reliable, functional, and cost-effective designs that can actually be manufactured and implemented.

If you need an experienced mechanical designer to turn an idea, concept, or existing design into a professional engineering solution, I would be happy to discuss your project.
