ME (Mech)

EMAIL   FULL BIO

Whether he’s at work or at home, Tim loves to learn new skills and solve problems. Since graduating with his Masters of Mechanical Engineering in 2012, he has been employed by Dynamic Controls. A key aspect of his role was collaborating with design and production teams to introduce new product and product changes to the manufacturing facility in China, and verify production processes. Prior to doing his Masters, Tim was a Mechanical Engineer for South Fence Machinery. When Tim isn’t working, you’ll usually find him building, riding, or maintaining his fleet of mountain bikes.

I enjoy the combination of technical and creative challenges that engineering projects provide, and hence love to be involved from concept through to detailed design.

I am ME qualified and have experience in electronics manufacturing prior to joining Caliber Design. I rely on strong communication to understand and deliver projects, as well as proficiency in CAD packages and international standards. I aim to pool Caliber and client knowledge, and identify gaps to which research can add value.
