SKILLS
ABOUT KENNETH NAYLOR
I’m a Mechanical Engineer and Digital Thread Application Specialist with a passion for designing better products, smarter processes, and meaningful connections between systems. Over the past decade, I’ve worked across the Defense, Aerospace, Manufacturing, and Medical Device industries, applying CAD, FEA, PLM, and systems engineering tools to solve complex mechanical challenges and streamline product development cycles.At Intercax, I help leading companies like GE Aerospace and American Rheinmetall Defense bridge their digital ecosystems through integrated CAD, PLM, and SysML solutions. Previously, I led mechanical design and validation efforts at BAE Systems and TUUCI, specializing in high-stakes component design, structural analysis, and thermal simulations.Beyond my day job, I’m the creator behind How It’s Designed — a SolidWorks and engineering tutorial channel with over views and a growing community of subscribers. I’m also an inventor with a patent-pending attic ladder insulation system, proof that good ideas can come from anywhere.I thrive at the intersection of mechanical design, digital engineering, and product strategy. Whether it’s improving a physical product, optimizing a digital workflow, or educating the next generation of engineers, I’m driven by curiosity, precision, and impact.Let’s connect if you’re passionate about mechanical design, digital thread integration, or engineering education.
