Ari Loundy Email & Phone Number

I'm Ari Loundy, a Mechanical Engineer interested in innovative product design and engineering problem solving. I recently worked at Crown Cork and Seal, a global manufacturer of aluminum beverage cans, where I specialized in tooling design, R&D, and plant support. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a Bacheor’s in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Electrical Engineering. I strive to challenge myself, solve problems, and grow myself as an engineer.At Crown Cork and Seal, I used my design skills to design new tooling, and update current tooling to perform better and more consistently in forming aluminum cans. This required designing tooling to very high precisions with a lot of attention to detail. New challenges come up, and I helped to solve them. This can involve designing new tooling or processes, and validating them through controlled trials. Finally, sometimes plants can have issues, and I investigated and helped them solve them. This has given me practical applications to my technical and problem solving skills, as well as the experience collaborating with a diverse group of people around the world.During my time at the University of Illinois, I learned a lot about a variety of different topics in both Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. I gained a lot of technical experience both through my coursework and through my extracurriculars, such as my robotics team, iRobotics. I also gained a lot of leadership experience through my work in iRobotics and the service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega. These experiences have given me invaluable skills, such as problem solving, project management, and leading teams, as well as have grown my passion for problem solving and engineering.

Listed skills include Engineering, Solidworks, Leadership, Autodesk Inventor, and 16 others.
