I am a design engineer with experience in designing products and tooling for both low- and high-volume manufacturing. Whether you need to reverse-engineer a broken component, model your on-shored product, model and render a new product or concept, produce RFQ-ready technical drawings with full GD&T, or develop quality, easy-to-use tooling/jigs/fixtures for your manufacturing line, I can do it! I am a Certified SolidWorks Professional and an expert in Fusion360 - licenses for both of which I own. In particular, I excel at building parametric, equation-driven models and design tables at the part, sub-assembly, and top-level assembly levels. I am also experienced at parametrically linking Solidworks drawings for automatic information updates. My manufacturing experience includes injection molding, thermoforming, extrusion, acoustic felt, sheet metal, steel/concrete pipe, additive manufacturing, 3-axis CNC, and product assembly. I've reverse-engineered, designed, and revised hundreds of custom products and tools. I have worked the production floor myself, so I know what to look for and ask about when designing for production. I can build small- to mid-size mechanical prototypes, such as a small prototype refrigerator that I designed and built in the second half of 2022. I have the ability to produce parts via FFF printing. Should you need more comprehensive prototyping than I alone can provide, then find the Imtrusion3D agency affiliation link below or use the URL - upwork.com/ag/imtrusion3d. I have access to many more resources as an agent for that company. I can also assist you in locating quality vendors for tooling and production.

Top Rated Plus optical engineer ($200K+ earned, 100% JSS) who now pairs 25 years of lens, laser, and illumination design with modern AI/ML — so your optical product gets designed AND its imaging, inspection, or design-optimization intelligence built by one engineer. What I do: • Optical & lens design — imaging, laser, LED/illumination systems in Zemax OpticStudio, concept to high-volume production • Computer Vision & image processing — hardware simulation for the software AI/ML integration • Physics-informed ML & inverse design — surrogate models and ML-accelerated optimization for Zemax/Lumerical/FRED design loops • End-to-end delivery — in-house 3D printing, CNC, laser scanning, and lighting measurement, plus a vetted prototype-to-production fabrication network How I work: fixed-price or hourly with a clear, milestone-based scope. Inventive, confidential, and embedded alongside your product team. No surprises. Ideal for teams building cameras, sensors, EO/IR systems, medical/endoscopic optics, or inspection hardware who need both the optics and the AI in one trusted US-based expert. Message me with your goal and I'll send a short written plan and fit check.
