Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Todd is a seasoned Mechanical Design Engineer with over 18 years of hands-on CAD experience across CREO, Siemens NX/Unigraphics, SolidWorks and AutoCAD, and extensive use of PLM tools like Teamcenter and Windchill. He has a deep automotive and powertrain background—designing engine components, lubrication and cooling systems, and integrating power packs into vehicles—plus experience on armed vehicle programmes and excavator production change management. Comfortable moving between detailed casting and machined models to system-level installations, he routinely supports prototype and production suppliers to cut cost and improve manufacturability. His career spans specialist roles at Ricardo, JCB, Perkins, Cummins and BAE, reflecting both R&D and shop-floor support strengths. Based in Darlington, he brings a practical blend of engineering rigor and production-facing problem solving that reduces build issues and accelerates release. A less obvious asset is his repeated role switching across sectors, which gives him uncommon adaptability when applying engine design principles to diverse vehicle platforms.
