Christian Fabian

Mechanical Design Engineer | Inventor | Tinkerer

Professional Summary

Highly experienced Mechanical Design Engineer with 10 years specializing in the design and launch of high-reliability, complex electro-mechanical systems. Proven expertise in high-density electronics integration, successfully leading the mechanical architecture for over 15 products, including medical devices and industrial imaging systems. Common contributions include innovative thermal management, a high level of aesthetic and ergonomic refinement, and miniaturization of mechanisms within tight volume constraints.

Extensive full-lifecycle ownership, from concept R&D and prototyping through high-volume production launch. Frequently served as a Technical Team Lead, driving Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) with global Contract Manufacturing (CM) partners to ensure successful production of tight-tolerance components (e.g., machining, sheet metal stamping, injection molding) and implementation of robust qualification plans. Core technical mastery encompasses advanced 3D CAD modeling, GD&T, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), design optimization, material selection, and Design of Experiments (DoE). Augmenting this, a Mechanical Engineering Master's degree provides specialized depth in control systems engineering, offering a unique perspective on mechatronic and closed-loop system design.
