Hire the Best SolidWorks Designers
in the United States

With 25 yrs experience, Alpha Design is your all in one studio, possessing strong skills in CAD, specifically Solidworks. Alpha can serve many needs, such as CAD concepts, file translation, assembly files, drawings, 3D prototyping, casting, material selection, DFM, vendor quoting and sourcing. . Alpha can also provide you w/ quality 3D Prototypes,I have worked at large profile companies, like Honeywell Safety Products, Waters, and Hasbro. I have also attended Rhode Island School of Design so I have an unique artistic skill to help with concepts. What I can bring to the table, is not only designing the product but taking it thru the entire process, thru manufacturing. I have a large network of vendors, cast urethane/ silicone, domestic and overseas for 3d printing, small run prototypes, and mid to large manufacturing quantities. Examples of products designed: safety products, toys, sports, health, cosmetic,medical, personal, pet toys, electronic enclosures, beauty, food, shipping, storage, sheet metal, architectural plans, & enclosures. I guarantee any CAD that leaves my hands will be manufacturable and not just look good on the screen. I always think about how parts will be molded or machined as I do my CAD. Certified as a Solidworks Mechanical Design Professional, GD&T, Green Belt, Design for Manufacturing, and many more. Please note: I am happy to give up to a 15 Minute interview / consultation on your project to provide my feedback, as well.

13 years of experience in all aspects of RF design and high-speed PCB development, including antennas, RF front-end circuits, RFID systems, BLE/Wi-Fi/LoRa products, RF components, impedance matching, filters, amplifiers, RF switches, baluns, and antenna tuning. Much of my work has involved RF PCB design, wireless product development, and high-speed digital hardware. This background also extends to RFID readers, transponder-based systems, and FPGA-related hardware projects. I have strong experience in RF and antenna simulation using tools such as HFSS, CST Studio Suite, and Ansys tools for antenna design, RF matching, radiation pattern analysis, impedance optimization, RF front-end validation, and wireless performance improvement. I have strong experience in high-speed PCB design, including multilayer board layout, controlled impedance routing, differential pairs, signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/ESD protection, RF grounding, shielding, and manufacturability. I have worked on FPGA-related projects involving Xilinx, Zynq, Artix-7 FPGA platforms, including data acquisition, signal processing, timing-sensitive interfaces, and high-speed digital board design. My embedded hardware experience includes the setup, integration, and debugging of microcontrollers and embedded platforms such as STM32, ESP32, ESP32-S3, Nordic nRF52832/nRF52840, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and embedded Linux-based systems. I am familiar with RF and wireless ICs/modules including Semtech SX12 series LoRa devices, Nordic BLE chips, ESP32 wireless modules, Quectel LTE/GPS modules, u-blox GPS modules, RFID reader modules, RF filters, LNAs, PAs, RF switches, baluns, and matching networks. For PCB design, I use Altium Designer, KiCad, EasyEDA, Eagle, and OrCAD I also have experience with enclosure design for RF and embedded products, including plastic and metal enclosures, antenna placement, RF keepout areas, mechanical fit checks, connector positioning, thermal considerations, waterproofing concepts, mounting features, and PCB-to-enclosure integration. I understand that enclosure design can directly affect RF performance, antenna efficiency, heat dissipation, usability, and manufacturability, so I always consider the mechanical structure together with the electronics. I have worked for years on IoT devices, wireless sensors, RFID products, antenna-integrated PCB designs, FPGA boards, digital electronics, embedded controllers, data acquisition systems, and prototype-to-production hardware. System engineering and integration have been important parts of many of my projects, especially where RF, firmware, FPGA, PCB design, and enclosure design must work together reliably. My main strength is not only designing a schematic or PCB, but building complete hardware that works reliably in the real world. I always consider RF performance, signal integrity, grounding, shielding, power stability, EMI/ESD protection, enclosure integration, manufacturability, testing, and long-term reliability from the beginning of the design.

Hello, Let me introduce myself. I am a physics engineer, materials science, and I have more than 15 years of experience as a design engineer. I have extensive experience in detailed design and modeling of tools and equipment, tolerance, and dimensional analysis. Very proficient in CAD, specifically in SolidWorks (owner of a Premium and Simulation Pro), Fusion 360 experience as well. Selection of materials, production processes, and suppliers. Calculation of cost and production time. I have experience designing finished products and tools/molds for the mold injection process, systems for high vacuum/ high pressure, inert, and dangerous gases, reverse engineering, CFD, and FEA analysis. Customer-oriented - I try to be neutral and objective, I fully listen to the person's comments and reflect on my work at the same time, with this fresh new perspective coming from this person's viewpoint. I respect they took the time to give me feedback and value their opinion. My job as a designer is to identify and find valuable solutions that will better serve customers. Sincerely, Vitaly
