About Douglas Roberts

Throughout my academic and professional journey spanning over a decade, I have cultivated a diverse skill set in various domains such as operations within the natural gas sector, customer service, construction, Biomedical research, and Quality Engineering. I thrive in dynamic environments that challenge me to continually grow and excel. My decision to pursue engineering stems from its inherent blend of communication and problem-solving, which I find both stimulating and rewarding. Here are some key skills I bring to the table- Proficiency in 3D Solid Modeling, utilizing tools like SolidWorks and Fusion 360. I have accumulated extensive experience designing robots for Mechatronics projects and developed a unique forklift mast for Kennecott (Rio Tinto) during my tenure- Expertise in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using software such as SolidWorks, Ansys and Abaqus. I have hands-on experience modeling complex loads on parts and assemblies, including the simulation of accelerating bodies- Strong foundation in Systems Engineering, with practical knowledge in Requirements Engineering for effectively establishing and documenting project requirements- Sound understanding of Solid Mechanics, demonstrated through applications in Mechanics of Materials to determine optimal sizes, orientations, and materials for specialized applications- Proficient in Design of Experiments and Advanced Statistics, employing tools like R studio to model experimental designs, assess significance, and identify correlations- Exceptional social and verbal communication skills honed over a decade of industry interaction, collaborating with stakeholders, contractors, managers, operators, and fellow engineers across diverse projects encompassing product development, quality assurance, and procedural enhancements- Well-rounded in General Engineering encompassing Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, coding in C, R Studio, and MATLAB, Numerical Methods, Physics, and Biomedical Engineering. These skills collectively equip me to contribute effectively to multifaceted engineering projects and thrive in collaborative environments.
