Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Worth is a Senior Mechanical Engineer with a decade of experience designing and simulating products across medical, consumer, industrial, and defence sectors. Trained in physics at the University of Oxford, he excels at multi-physics system design where mechanical, thermal, fluidic and optical domains interact, with deep expertise in CFD and FEA using tools like ANSYS, COMSOL and OpenFOAM. He has led and grown simulation teams, owned budgets and quality procedures, and translated complex models into commercial outcomes and proposals. Mike pairs hands-on prototyping and lab testing with bespoke simulation code and Python automation to solve niche problems that off-the-shelf tools cannot. Unusually for a mechanical engineer, he has contributed YARA rules to security-focused GitHub repos, reflecting a broad technical curiosity and an analytical approach to pattern detection. Based in Huntingdonshire, he combines technical leadership with practical workshop skills and a track record of delivering regulated medical-device development.
