Summary
Rodrigo Miyamoto is a Mechanical Designer with over a decade of hands-on experience in vehicle product development, CAE, and durability work—most recently creating practical CAD solutions at Prime Engineering after long-tenured roles at Ford and Altair. He combines deep physics-driven understanding of vehicle systems with advanced FEA and multidisciplinary optimization skills, and he routinely builds automation tools and scripts to accelerate modeling and validation. Equally comfortable with hardware, Rodrigo develops IoT and maker projects—ESP8266-based irrigation, smart switches and remotes, and a 3D-printed automatic fish feeder—demonstrating his ability to take concepts from circuit and firmware to mechanical design. Based in Victoria, BC, he brings a pragmatic design-for-assembly mindset and a track record of resolving cross-team CAE issues to deliver cost-effective, manufacturable products.
