Background

About Cory Cunningham

Engineering Physics professional with 6+ years of experience in technical manufacturing and laser R&D, passionate about creating impactful engineering solutions and tackling complex challenges. I thrive on solving problems through methodical experimentation, materials testing, and systems design—particularly uncovering those hidden issues that only emerge during scale-up. My approach combines technical rigor with collaborative leadership, bringing together diverse stakeholders—from engineers and technicians to business managers—to drive creative and efficient solutions. Key strengths include-Leading Six Sigma continuous improvement projects with proven results -Delivering complex projects under tight deadlines -Building cross-functional consensus to accelerate problem-solving -Leveraging my physics background and IT/network expertise to provide comprehensive technical solutions I've never met a problem I didn't want to tackle, and I'm always eager to expand my engineering scope while contributing to transformative technologies. My self-sufficient problem-solving approach, combined with a solid technical foundation, enables me to adapt quickly and add value across diverse engineering challenges.
