    Hi, my name is Zack and I’m a mechanical engineer. I have approximately 5 years of work experience involving work with CAD design, 3D printing, design for manufacturing, and project management. I have used Freeform, Solidworks, Inventor and Fusion 360 design software. I graduated from Northern Arizona University in Fall 2020 Cum Laude with a degree in mechanical engineering. In my current role, I’m working as a manufacturing engineer/project manager where I take customer requirements, convert them into a 3D model for approval and take them through the manufacturing process. I am responsible for all projects through each step of our processes in a sheet metal environment so I am familiar with laser cutting, CNC machining, bending, welding, assembly, and powder coating. I also tutored mathematics in college where I learned crucial problem solving skills.

    Good Day, My name is Ryan Racicot. I have over 16 years of industry experience as a Mechanical Engineer and Project Manager. My professional experience spans multiple industries which I believe give me an added advantage to how I approach the engineering and project management processes. I have designed products ranging from novel and innovative consumer goods, exercise equipment, healthcare and medical solutions, automotive applications, and home improvement solutions. I have had the opportunity to manage multiple product lines and grow technical areas to benefit entire business units. I enjoy cultivating transparency and innovation as they apply to different design phases. To guide design, I utilize techniques and tools such as PFMEA, DFMEA, Fault Tree, Hazard Analysis, FEA, GD&T, and DFM principles. I’ve lead the creation of IOVV Trace Matrices to track Voice of the Customer/User Requirements, development of Product Specifications, and Verification and Validation Testing- including IQ/OQ/PQ activities. I am also well adept in the manufacturing, quality, and testing areas of the engineering process including high volume manufacturing, progressive stamping, plating, plastic injection molding, test fixture design, GMP, DOE, MSA, Gauge R&R, Kaizen, LEAN/Six Sigma practices, 8D, 5 Why’s, and CAPA experience. I obtained my BS in Mechanical Engineering from Colorado State University in May of 2006 and my PMP Certification in May of 2024. Above all else, I love the creative process and bringing meaningful life changing solutions to meet customer needs. I look forward to discussing how my skills and background can bring your ideas to reality. Sincerely, Ryan Racicot

    Hi, I'm Nick. Do you need a mechanical model designed in SolidWorks? A custom PCB in Altium Designer? I have 10+ years experience designing a variety of products for small startups of all kinds. I've just finished working as a systems engineer for an engineering and industrial automation firm called Applied Design Corp in beautiful Boulder, CO. I have experience in leading complex projects from conception, through design, sourcing parts and labor, to final production. My strengths are in taking loose ideas for a project, breaking it down into easy to understand pieces, and finding the tools, information, and talent needed to make it real. I'm very interdisciplinary, I have extensive experience with complex CAD models, generating files for manufacture, and managing the manufacturing process. I've designed complex multi-processor control boards, selecting components, designing the schematic, laying out the PCB, and managing manufacturing. I've planned and managed in-house production of projects ranging from small runs of robotic manipulators to hundreds of nodes of an interactive art piece thousands of LFP battery modules and hundreds of thousands of plastic injection molded parts. I also started a business developing drones for open-pit mine surveying before drones were cool. Thanks for your consideration!
