About Chris Bianco

I’m a mechanical engineer with eight years of professional experience that loves hands-on projects.My background includes designing and validating:•On-orbit exercise hardware and vibrationattenuation mechanisms•Crew-use hardware and EVA suit life support components•Acoustic damping packages and composites•Electric/gas vehicle systems (powertrains, cooling, structures)•Power, avionics, and refrigerant systemsI guide projects through the full lifecycle—from concept and CAD/FEA design to prototyping, testing, and final release with full drawings and GD & T.Currently, I release hardware for all of Axiom’s space station modules. Hardware ranges from items needed for crew daily operations to avionics boxes, structures, life support, and propulsion.Previously, I supported NASA Johnson Space Center’s Artemis Program, delivering a prototype gas/particle contaminant removal component for the xEMU suit’s ventilation system.Earlier, at Trane Technologies, I contributed to electrified vehicle platforms, refrigerant systems, and thermal subsystem design across Club Car, Thermo King, and Trane divisions.Outside of work, I enjoy rock climbing and hobby design projects—furniture builds, drone systems, and 3D-printed parts on my Ender 3 Pro.
