About Connor Swaney

Mechanical Engineer | Space Enthusiast | Creative Problem Solver I am a passionate and driven mechanical engineer with a deep interest in space and space exploration. With a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines, I have specialized in Solid Mechanics, Materials, and Manufacturing. My coursework heavily revolved around aerospace science and space applications. Throughout my career, I've balanced creativity with technical precision to orchestrate projects throughout their entire life cycle. At Perellion, I've taken project ownership for the design and analysis of a large assembly jig designed to align components to a sub.005" precision. At Woodward, I developing CAD models from dated, handmade drawings and created QC and assembly tooling fixtures using SLA and FDM rapid prototyping. I've consistently sought out challenges that push the boundaries of my skills and knowledge, and I thrive on solving complex problems and enjoy the process of turning innovative ideas into tangible results. My hands-on experience in design, manufacturing, and testing has equipped me with a versatile skill set, making me adept at tackling a variety of engineering challenges. Outside of my professional career, i enjoy spending my time training Muay Thai and competing in US Master's Swim. Longboarding, backpacking, and caving are some other hobbies of mine, and these activities help fuel my drive for continuous learning and personal growth. Let's connect and explore how we can collaborate on projects that push the frontiers of technology and space exploration.
