Summary
Calvin Young is a process engineer in Portland with nine years of hands-on experience applying computational design, automation, and manufacturing process engineering across medical devices, industrial production, and aerospace prototypes. At HP he blends advanced CAD and algorithmic part generation with scripting and workflow automation to streamline factory logistics and data-driven tooling. His background includes scaling production to tens of thousands of custom units per month, raising crowdfunding for hardware commercialization, and inventing a NASA-spun SMA tire prototype that moved toward commercialization. A philosophy and mechanical engineering double background gives him a systems-thinking approach to practical problems, and he often bridges roles from prototyping to production while building the tooling that keeps operations reliable.
