About Andrew Herrmann

With over 15 years of experience in mechanical design engineering, I am deeply passionate about innovating and developing products that not only meet but exceed the needs and expectations of customers and stakeholders. Currently, I serve as a Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer at Vitesco Technologies, a premier supplier of advanced powertrain technologies in the automotive industry.Throughout my career, I have successfully led and contributed to numerous projects focused on designing and optimizing electromechanical connectors, flexible printed circuits, metal stampings, injection molding, and compression molding for a variety of applications. My commitment to innovation has resulted in 3 U.S. patents.I leverage advanced solid modeling, simulation, and testing tools, including PTC Pro Engineer and Creo Simulate, to ensure the highest standards of design quality and efficiency. By applying Six Sigma methodologies, I actively identify and eliminate defects and waste throughout the product development process. I thrive in collaborative environments, working seamlessly with cross-functional and global teams, and possess strong skills in research and development, competitive analysis, prototyping, and cost analysis.My mission is to deliver excellence in mechanical design engineering, ultimately improving the lives of those we serve.If you have a project idea, I’d love to connect and explore how we can bring it to life together! Feel free to DM me!
