Summary
Eric Chapman is an experienced mechanical engineer with 11+ years designing rugged imaging, inspection, and diagnostic equipment for subsea, utility, and aerospace applications. Currently advancing metal additive manufacturing at Boeing, he blends hands-on LPBF process development with system-level optimization to raise TRL/MRL for aerospace parts. His background in mechanical engineering and physics enables him to package optics, sensors, and electronics into compact, high-reliability products that endure extreme pressures, shock, and thermal stress. Previously as CTO/Director at DeepSea and lead R&D engineer at SeeScan, he led multidisciplinary teams from concept through product launch and holds a track record of industry-leading designs and a design patent from early R&D work. He’s equally effective as an individual contributor and small-team leader, favoring cross-disciplinary solutions that blur traditional engineering boundaries. Returning from family leave with renewed focus, he’s seeking roles at companies committed to technical excellence and purposeful product innovation.
