Nicholas Carignan is an Advanced Design Engineer with eight years of mechanical engineering experience designing automation and conveying systems, currently based in Minneapolis. A North Dakota State University alum, he progressed from intern roles to senior design positions at Aspect Automation before joining PAR Systems, demonstrating steady technical growth and hands-on fabrication knowledge. He has practical plant-floor experience from early internships and designed a conveyor at Friesen's that entered commercial use—an early sign of his ability to take concepts through to production. Known for detailed prints, error-proofing assemblies, and creating spare-parts documentation, he blends CAD-driven design with practical maintenance insight. Colleagues rely on him to translate field feedback into robust, serviceable designs that reduce downtime and streamline installation.
