Assuming you are still reading, I solve complex design and manufacturing problems for our customers all day long for the last 30 years. Literally millions of dollars of hardware are running around shops, roadways or the ocean that I and my team have designed, analyzed, prototyped, and supported. Some of it weighing 65 tons, while other parts fit in your hand. Machines with over a thousand parts are common. This goes for metal parts, composite parts, polymers, and combinations thereof. If you need to design and build complex critical mechanical stuff, give me a call. I love my current job, but not so much the location.
