Senior Textile And Design Engineer at Microsoft
Redmond, Washington, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPaul S is a Senior Textile and Design Engineer with over a decade at Microsoft, specializing in textile and softgood applications across product inception, prototyping, and manufacturing readiness. He bridges industrial design and engineering—leading CMF, materials development, testing, and process creation to move concepts from ideation to scalable production. Equally comfortable at the laser cutter, in CAD (Pro/E, NX, SolidWorks), or designing DOE-driven reliability tests, he blends hands-on fabrication with supplier collaboration and manufacturing engineering. His background in mechanical engineering and a Master of Textiles gives him rare cross-disciplinary fluency that informs robust, production-ready softgoods for consumer devices. Beyond textiles, Paul contributes to open-source engineering projects (including back-end work on ChakraCore and interval-structure improvements in Microsoft’s FluidFramework), reflecting a systems-minded approach to problem solving. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic prototyping, cohesive team building, and continual skill development that keeps product and process innovation aligned.
