Summary
Micah Thornton is a process engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and optimizing machine assemblies, production lines, and robotic end-of-arm tooling. He brings strong CAD expertise across Creo, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Inventor, coupled with GD&T, blueprint generation, and stack-up analysis for complex multipart and large-scale assemblies. His background spans frontline fabrication and maintenance—tig welding, structural fabrication, and laser-cutting equipment upkeep—giving him practical insight into manufacturability and shop-floor constraints. At New Mather Metals he applies that blend of design and shop experience to streamline processes, drawing on earlier roles managing tooling design, reverse engineering, and contractor coordination at Meritor. Based in Kentucky, Micah pairs a BS in Mechanical Engineering with trade-trained welding skills, allowing him to translate ambitious designs into robust, producible solutions.
