Summary
Jacob Benjamin is a Mechanical Engineering Master's student at UCF with eight years of hands-on experience taking electro-mechanical products from concept to million-unit production runs. He has driven hardware design, CAD and simulation (CREO, Siemens NX, SolidWorks, ANSYS), DFM/DFMEA, tolerance analysis, and testing across roles at NASA, SharkNinja, Hunter Industries, Universal Creative, and Limbitless Solutions. Notable impacts include cutting leakage by 90% through tooling changes, reducing acoustic noise via NVH-driven fixes, and scaling production for a consumer product to over 1M units/year. Comfortable collaborating with industrial design, overseas manufacturing, and electrical teams, he pairs prototyping (3D printing, CNC) with data-driven validation (DOE, SPC, CMM). Jacob’s work blends consumer product rigor with aerospace-level hardware prototyping, and he’s motivated to apply that cross-domain experience to challenging mechanical systems.
