Engineering resume · Jared Maffucci

Senior Mechanical Engineer | Product Design, Development + R&D.

Eight-plus years turning uncertain product intent into architecture, mechanisms, analysis, CAD, prototypes, manufacturing definition, and corrective engineering across consumer, commercial, industrial, automotive, biomechanical, electromechanical, and aerospace hardware.

Professional profile

Whole-product judgment with hands-on mechanical depth.

I am most valuable where the problem crosses boundaries: user experience, mechanisms, structures, thermal or fluid behavior, electronics packaging, tolerances, suppliers, cost, service, and validation.

I can frame the work at the program level and still own the details that make the product real. Teams get clear requirements, credible alternatives, explicit assumptions, disciplined technical execution, and a design record that supports review, release, production, and future improvement.

What I can own

  • Complete mechanical product-development workstream
  • Product architecture and high-risk subsystem decisions
  • Mechanism, structure, enclosure, or electromechanical integration
  • Prototype, validation, DFM/DFA, supplier, and release execution
  • Corrective engineering, cost, reliability, and performance improvement

Experience

A career built around increasingly complete ownership of physical products.

2025–PresentSenior Mechanical EngineerAdvanced equipment product development
  • Lead mechanical workstreams from requirements and architecture through detailed CAD, analysis, drawing release, design review, supplier coordination, and validation planning.
  • Resolve coupled mechanism, structural, thermal, fluid, packaging, service, and manufacturability constraints in complex electromechanical equipment.
  • Drive production-readiness and corrective-engineering decisions with clear assumptions, configuration control, and evidence boundaries.
2023–PresentIndependent Mechanical EngineerProduct development consulting
  • Deliver direct mechanical design and product-development support across automotive, industrial, consumer, biomechanical, sports, process-control, and precision-mechanism programs.
  • Translate incomplete concepts or physical interfaces into requirements, alternative architectures, parametric CAD, calculations, prototypes, drawings, and supplier-ready technical packages.
  • Support focused mechanism design, DFM/DFA, design reconstruction, complex surfacing, tolerance review, simulation, troubleshooting, test fixtures, and cost or performance improvement.
2018–2023Mechanical EngineerAerospace + advanced communications R&D
  • Developed satellite, payload, and advanced-communications hardware under coupled thermal, vibration, structural, modal, packaging, documentation, procurement, and manufacturing constraints.
  • Owned mechanical design and analysis details from concept through released definition while coordinating electrical, RF, systems, manufacturing, and supplier interfaces.
  • Built the high-reliability foundation now applied across broader product-development and consulting work.

Technical scope

Mechanical engineering from controlling physics to controlled release.

01

Mechanical systems

Mechanisms, precision motion, structures, enclosures, electromechanical packaging, thermal and fluid hardware

02

Product development

Requirements, architecture, concept selection, trade studies, risk retirement, prototyping, validation, and release

03

Engineering definition

Parametric CAD, complex surfacing, GD&T, tolerance analysis, drawings, BOM structure, and configuration control

04

Analysis + evidence

First-order calculations, FEA, CFD, load paths, boundary conditions, test planning, troubleshooting, and corrective action

05

Production readiness

DFM/DFA, materials and processes, supplier reviews, inspection strategy, service access, cost, and change control

06

Technical communication

Design reviews, decision records, technical packages, cross-functional alignment, and direct stakeholder communication

Representative product terrain

Cross-industry range without diluted rigor.

The geometry, scale, materials, and failure modes change. The core questions remain consistent: what carries the load, what governs motion, which interfaces control fit, how variation accumulates, how the product will be made and inspected, and what evidence is required before release.
