Summary
Francis Maxwell is a results-driven Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with over a decade of experience leading product design, R&D, and high-value production programs across multi-site operations. He combines deep hands-on CAD and CAE expertise (Inventor, SolidWorks, FEA, GD&T) with proven program management skills that delivered over $1.8B in project value, reduced production costs by 10%, and improved throughput and delivery timelines. At Trinity Industries he translated R&D into patented innovations, standardized company-wide engineering procedures, and led cross-functional teams to produce thousands of units while aligning practices with AAR compliance. Comfortable bridging robotics, sensor integration, and software-adjacent tools (C++, ROS, React Native background), he brings a systems-level mindset that tightens design for manufacturability and accelerates time-to-market. Known for pragmatic problem-solving and implementing change management that measurably cut downtime and boosted quality, he excels where complex mechanical design meets operational execution.
