Filip R.
Mechanical Design Engineer | Product Development, Prototyping & DFM
I help inventors, startups, and businesses turn ideas into functional, manufacturable products, from early concepts and sketches to detailed CAD and physical prototypes. With 6+ years of CAD experience and 3 years of hands-on mechanical design and engineering experience, I’ve designed and developed mechanisms, assemblies, and electromechanical systems for real-world applications. I served as Lead Mechanical Engineer for a FIRST Robotics Competition team that qualified for the 2026 World Championship, where I led mechanical design, prototyping, manufacturing, and testing. I can help with: • Mechanical and product design • 3D CAD modeling and assemblies • Mechanism development • Manufacturing drawings and technical documentation • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) • Prototype development and 3D printing I can work from a concept, sketch, reference images, or a set of requirements and develop the mechanical solution from there. I focus on designs that are not only accurate in CAD, but practical to manufacture, assemble, test, and use. My hands-on experience includes CNC machining, CAM programming, rapid prototyping, 3D printing, electronics integration, and iterative mechanical testing. This allows me to approach projects from an engineering perspective rather than simply modeling what has already been specified. I use Autodesk Inventor as my primary CAD platform and can deliver production-ready models, assemblies, drawings, and prototype-ready designs.
