Top SchoolDavid Shepherd is a seasoned R&D and mechanical design specialist with over 25 years of hands-on experience delivering products from concept to production across medical devices, telecommunications, food processing, and aerospace. He excels in detailed CAD-driven design (SolidWorks), GD&T, PDM/CAD administration, and lab/test management, and has a strong track record running verification/validation, CAPA/CCR processes, and cross-functional projects to completion.

Based in Dublin, CA, he’s comfortable managing capital equipment, calibration and test resources while translating design intent up to management and across teams. A pragmatic problem-solver, he often bridges gaps between R&D and production by reengineering legacy drawings and standards into validated, manufacturable designs.
