After graduating, my first job was a Manufacturing Engineering graduate at Perkins Engines, gaining experience in:- Intelligent tooling development- Continuous improvement- 6-sigma- Daily assembly line support- Team lead, Crankshaft machining facility.- Design development role- DFMEAAfter completung the graduate scheme, I worked as a Manufacturing Project Engineer, upgrading assembly plant and facilities.In 2011, I joined Triumph Motorcycles. my initial project was the original 2012 Tiger Explorer, at the later stages of its development, in a test and development role, managing road mileage accumulation.In 2012, I joined a team developing a low capacity motorcycle for the Asian market, responsible for wheel concept design and braking systems. This project never made production, but I learned invaluable lessons in low cost, high volume manufacturing processes.In 2014, I moved to the Bonneville Bobber model where I had responsibility for:- Rear wheel & brake design- Swingarm mounted rear mudguard & ancillaries.In 2016, I was promoted to Project Engineer, increasing my responsibilities to:- Manage junior team member’s workloads- Approve prototype designs- Attending quality and procurement reviews, and design change meetingsIn 2017, I began working on the concept stage of 2021 SPEED TRIPLE, with later responsibility for brakes, suspension, cast aluminium wheels and swingarm, and managing a small sub team. I also worked as Chassis Liaison with Triumph’s development dept, broadening my knowledge of motorcycle geometry and suspension development.In June 2020, with looming redundancies due to COVID, I took voluntary redundancy from Triumph.I immediately secured a role as Senior Design Engineer with Norton Motorcycles, responsible for developing and fault finding on the V4SS & V4RR models.In March 2021, I returned to Triumph Motorcycles, joining a team in the final stages of development of the 2022 Tiger 1200 motorcycle, working on a variety of components undergoing final testing and validation, while also liaising with a cross company team during a crucial time for the project.In June 2022, my role changed to include leading a small team of 5 engineers through scheming stages of the 2025 Speed Twin 900, while also having component responsibility for the main frame updates.Since late 2023, I'm working on castings & fabrications for a next gen model while continuing to mentor junior engineers.
