Senior🎓
Top SchoolFred Wirtz is a Senior Design Engineer based in Seattle with eight years of cross-disciplinary experience bridging mechanical design and DevOps-driven software deployment. He excels at turning manufacturability challenges into streamlined workflows—authoring automated model-checking scripts, applying poka-yoke principles, and standardizing company-wide CAD and drawing practices to reduce waste and speed production. At SanMar he ran deployment pipelines using Bamboo, Bitbucket, Jira and Git, pairing Linux troubleshooting with documentation that improved DevOps onboarding. Known as the “go-to” reviewer for final models, he combines hands-on prototyping and FEA-informed design decisions with practical supplier first-article inspection experience. He holds technical degrees in computer science and civil engineering, giving him both systems thinking and a strong grounding in physical-product constraints. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, Fred is comfortable working across engineering, manufacturing, and operations to deliver configurable, production-ready designs.
