Top SchoolPhilip Dezonia is a Mechanical Design Engineer with nine years of experience blending hands-on fabrication, systems integration, and coding to deliver everything from electronics enclosures and automotive power distribution to subway gates and aircraft cockpits. Based in Burbank, he currently designs at Applied Minds while drawing on prior work at Naval Surface Warfare Center and robotics-focused roles that span hardware, PLCs, and ROS. Philip's background in mechatronics (M.S., UPenn) and a high-achieving mechanical engineering undergraduate gives him a strong cross-disciplinary foundation in controls, vision, and automation. He has led multidisciplinary teams to deliver complex robotics projects on accelerated timelines and built tools—MATLAB scripts, ROS libraries, and automated test rigs—to bridge simulation, mixed reality, and physical systems. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic designs that are manufacturable and field-ready, informed by direct shop experience and a knack for integrating new platforms into operational fleets.
