Nicholas Tinney (Nick)

A seasoned Engineer with over 25 years of diverse experience in product design, manufacturing engineering, electronic and mechanical design, and test system development. I specialize in enhancing product manufacturability, reducing production time and costs, and ensuring rigorous quality standards. My expertise spans designing plastic injection-molded parts, creating PCBAs, evaluating manufacturing processes, and implementing state-of-the-art testing systems. With hands-on skills in CNC machining and welding, coupled with proficiency in tools like Altium Designer, AutoDesk Inventor, and National Instruments TestStand, I'm dedicated to bringing innovation and efficiency to every manufacturing project.

• Spearheaded product design initiatives at iC3 Engineering, ranging from plastic components for electronic products to fully automated electronic test systems.
• Played a pivotal role at Lada Cube in the design of innovative sheet metal assembly modular walls, ensuring manufacturing coordination and optimizing plant requirements.
• Led assembly line development at AMETEK, introducing the first production line for assembling a fully graphical gauge type (Linux embedded system).
• Pioneered functional test systems compliant with ISO/AS9100/MIL standards during a 10-year stint at Primus Technologies Corporation, employing tools like National Instruments TestStand and LabView.
• Extensive background in In-Circuit Testing, Automated Optical Inspection, Environmental Stress Screening, and failure analysis, ensuring products meet the highest industry standards.
