About Aaron Johnson

CORE COMPETENCIES-Automation and Machine Design, & equipment selection -Mechatronics engineering-Automated Manufacturing Process Development & Process Improvement -CAD 3D Modeling ( SolidWorks )-Comprehension of the “Big Picture” of Automation and Design for Manufacturability & Assembly-Product Design and Development -Problem Solver! Main strengths, experience, and interests are in 3 areas-1. MANUFACTURING PROCESS DEVELOPMENT & PROCESS IMPROVEMENT of new or existing products-2. AUTOMATED MACHINE DESIGN & Build based off the Mfg Process development. Also machine design for automating existing manual processes-3. PRODUCT DESIGN and DEVELOPMENT using Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA). My background is primarily mechanical but I also spent several years in an electrical engineer role and continue to use that experience in my automation projects.I offer solid experience and belief in LEAN Manufacturing Principles. Specialties: Specialize in custom Automated Machine, Inspection, Processing, & Assembly Tool and fixture Design/Build/Test. Design For Manufacture and Assembly, LEAN, Process development, Cost Reduction in Product design and manufacturing. Strong 3D modeling skills, creative problem solver. Defense and Medical.
