Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChirag Shah is a contract Mechanical Engineer with 17 years of experience designing and automating electromechanical systems, currently advancing AR/VR hardware R&D at Google Daydream. He combines deep CAD expertise, FEA, GD&T, and statistical tolerance analysis with hands-on robotics, control systems, and mechatronics integration to deliver precision opto-mechanical test fixtures and active alignment systems. His work spans development of multi-axis inspection rigs, precision waveguide nests, and 6DOF optical mounts, often driving manufacturability through vendor collaboration. Chirag’s background includes tooling automation via SolidWorks API and C#—a practical blend of software-driven CAD automation and mechanical design. He’s comfortable moving projects from concept through prototyping to production, and is actively seeking opportunities at the intersection of robotics, mechatronics, and AR/VR. A detail often missed: he pairs traditional mechanical skills with custom software tooling to accelerate iterative design for casting and precision optical components.
