👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGrant Fraser is a product design engineer and co-founder with 11 years of hands-on experience bringing consumer and lab equipment from concept to production. Based in Edinburgh, he blends strong CAD and SolidWorks expertise with a background in ergonomics and digital creativity (MSc) to solve practical manufacturing and usability challenges. Grant has shipped early-stage mobility products and automated biological lab hardware, often simplifying assemblies and creating in-house CAM and rapid-prototype workflows to accelerate iteration. He thrives in startup environments where he spans concept development, DFM, supplier communication and PDM setup, and is as comfortable sketching patent-ready ideas as he is programming CNC runs. A creative problem-solver, he combines arts-led design thinking with practical engineering discipline to reduce complexity and cost while improving user experience.
