Summary
Andrew Peekema is a Brake Systems Engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience designing and delivering complex mechatronic systems for aerospace and robotics. Currently at Boeing, he has progressed from mechanical design into brake systems engineering, drawing on prior roles at Honeybee Robotics and OSU’s Dynamic Robotics Lab where he led hardware, controls, and integration for legged robots and space-sample containment. He combines rigorous academic training (MS in Robotics, BS in Mechanical Engineering) and top grades with practical expertise in prototyping, testing, and requirements-driven project delivery. Known for bridging software, electronics, and mechanical domains, he has shipped mission-critical hardware—from hermetically sealed canisters and satellite ground support equipment to avionics prototypes—and played a key role in DARPA- demonstrated bipedal robot control. Based in Everett, WA, he pursues challenging mechatronic problems and a track record of turning demanding requirements into manufacturable, testable solutions.
