Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Lehmann is a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience designing robotics, electric motors, and high-pressure mechanical systems across startups and established manufacturers. He has driven product design from concept to mass production—leading motor and transmission selection for humanoid robot joints, specifying thousands of machined components, and cutting COGS by over 30% through DFMA. Comfortable with both CAD and simulation, he routinely uses SolidWorks and ANSYS for structural and thermal optimization and integrates sensors, electronics, and harnessing into complex electromechanical assemblies. Past roles at Rolls‑Royce and oilfield toolmakers honed his problem‑solving under production pressure, including root‑cause fixes that saved millions and novel multi-stage casting and sealing solutions. Currently based in Greater Vancouver and completing a master’s at UBC, he blends academic rigor with practical manufacturing know‑how to deliver reliable, testable designs. An unusual strength is his breadth—from low‑volume, high‑precision automotive and aerospace work to cutting‑edge humanoid robotics—making him adept at scaling designs for both performance and manufacturability.
