Summary
Joseph Watson is a Senior CAD Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience designing consumer electronics, humanoid robots (including work on Sophia), animatronics, and high-detail scale models for mass manufacture. Based in Hong Kong, he bridges product development and design-for-manufacturing, producing bilingual technical documentation and working on-site with Mainland factories to take concepts through first article inspection to volume production. His background spans robotics, injection molding, and AR/VR-ready 3D modeling, and he blends engineering rigor with aesthetic sensibility from large-scale art installations to collectible motorized models. Fluent in English and Cantonese with secondary Spanish skills, he pairs international collaboration ability with a bioengineering and biochemistry academic foundation that informs his precision-focused approach. A maker at heart, he maintains a public portfolio (josephwmwatson.com) and brings a designer’s curiosity to complex mechanical systems and manufacturability challenges.
