Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Fielding is a controls and simulation engineer with nine years of experience building virtual commissioning, simulation, and digital twin solutions for advanced manufacturing. He led controls development for electrolyte filling machines in Tesla’s next‑gen 4680 cell line and drove virtual commissioning of the Model Y body‑in‑white, translating complex mechanical systems into reliable automated processes. Now at Cellares, he focuses on bringing cell-manufacturing automation from prototype to production through simulation-first workflows. Known for combining hands-on PLC and robotics knowledge with systems-level thinking, he often surfaces subtle integration risks early via high-fidelity virtual tests. Based in San Francisco, he blends startup agility with experience at a high-volume OEM to reduce commissioning time and production risk.
