Summary
Janne Saari is a development engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design and sheet metal production, currently shaping product development at Konecranes. He combines a practical Plater‑Welder background and International Welding Specialist (IWS) certification with formal engineering education up to a master’s level, giving him rare end-to-end fluency from workshop fabrication to CAD-driven design. Previously he spent a decade as a vocational teacher, building curriculum and running welding labs — experience that sharpens his ability to standardize processes, mentor teams and lead equipment development projects. Skilled in Autodesk Inventor, welding coordination and additive manufacturing, Janne is as comfortable specifying tooling and materials as he is optimizing production workflows and pre-pricing jobs. Colleagues value his pragmatic, safety-first approach and his knack for translating classroom methods into practical factory improvements.
