About Alex Parmiter

Mechanical designer with 6+ years of experience spanning hands-on fabrication and CAD design, specializing in structural analysis, FEA, and design for manufacturability. Skilled at creating complex parametric assemblies in Autodesk Inventor with iLogic automation, performing structural calculations per ASCE 7 and ASTM E1300, and validating designs using NASTRAN FEA analysis. Experienced in thermal modeling with THERM and WINDOW software, and product testing per ASTM and AAMA standards.Background in precision TIG welding across semiconductor, automotive, and general fabrication environments provides practical insight into manufacturing processes and material behavior. Proven ability to develop automated CAD workflows that improve production efficiency and reduce material waste. Capable of rapidly prototyping designs using 3D printing, CNC machining, and welding to validate concepts before full production.Strong communicator effective at bridging technical and non-technical teams. Experienced in collaborating with sales departments to translate customer requirements into feasible designs, and working directly with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are practical and efficient to produce. Proficient at creating clear documentation and communicating technical requirements to both engineering teams and shop floor personnel.
