Kaitlyn McGuire
@kaitlynmcguire
Aspiring mechanical engineer with hands-on product development experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a recent graduate from Northeastern University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Physics. My academic journey has been marked by a strong GPA of 3.46 and recognition on the Dean's List. I have developed a solid foundation in engineering principles through notable courses such as Robot Dynamics & Control and Electrical Engineering. My involvement in clubs like the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Society of Women Engineers has further enriched my educational experience.
In my professional journey, I have completed two co-op positions as a Product Development Engineer, where I honed my skills in product design and quality assurance. At Arnasi Group, I designed innovative packaging solutions and conducted extensive testing to ensure product compatibility. My role at Abiomed Inc. involved collaborating on optical sensing technology and improving manufacturing processes, which significantly contributed to reducing costs and increasing supply for patients. I thrive in team environments and am passionate about applying my technical skills to real-world challenges.
