@rezahariri
Mechanical engineer (EIT) specializing in automation and high-speed SPM design.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Mechanical Engineer (EIT) with extensive experience designing high-speed automation, SPMs, and packaging equipment. I convert concepts and rough sketches into detailed 3D CAD models, produce BOMs, and standardize mechanical systems using tools like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor, and PDM.
My career spans roles in automation design, prototyping, and production support where I improved mechanical designs, selected actuators, sensors and drives, and supported shop builds and customer proposals. I have led projects from concept through testing, debugging, and documentation, and I prioritize manufacturability, material selection, and engineering standards.
I hold a Master of Engineering (University of Waterloo) and have additional training in GD&T, gearbox systems, and vehicle manufacturing. I work independently with minimal supervision, focus on R&D and continuous improvement, and deliver reliable mechanical solutions for industrial automation and automotive applications.
