Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlex Saurber is a Laser Application Research Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience applying mechanical design, machine vision, and automation to aerospace and defense-focused projects. Based in Dayton, he blends deep CAD expertise (Siemens NX, AutoCAD, SolidWorks) with software skills in Python, MATLAB, and Excel VBA to deliver integrated hardware-software systems—from PLC racks and portable laser carts to touchscreen control interfaces for ultrafast lasers. He has practical experience with femtosecond micro-machining, LIBS analytics, and QA sensor feedback loops, and has repeatedly translated lab prototypes into production-ready deliverables while mentoring student engineers. Notably, he has saved significant production costs through tolerance disposition and process audits and built custom engineering tools that accelerated design workflows across teams. Now pursuing an MS in Computer Engineering, he pairs classic mechanical craftsmanship with growing embedded and software systems expertise for complex, instrumented platforms.
