About James Shortall

As a Design Engineer at Boeing, I apply my skills and knowledge in aerospace and mechanical engineering, to design interior components of airplanes, such as seating, overhead bins, lavatories, and galleys. I have over two years of experience in this role, and I enjoy creating innovative and comfortable solutions for passengers and crew.Prior to joining Boeing, I worked as a Senior Mechanical Engineer at CED Technologies, Inc, where I performed vehicle accident reconstructions for attorneys who represented insurance companies and individuals who had been seriously injured or had died in accidents. I acted as an expert witness after conducting research on all aspects of the accident, using process flow diagrams, advanced manufacturing, and application engineering techniques. I also have experience in light manufacturing, loss prevention, and mechanical engineering consulting from previous roles.
