Senior🎓
Top SchoolTrae Blain is a Senior Principal Mechanical Engineer based in Dallas with 14 years of experience specializing in mechanical packaging for electronic and advanced radar systems. He combines deep expertise in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) with Lean/6Sigma methods to deliver production-ready designs that minimize risk and cost. At Raytheon he advanced from Mechanical Engineer to senior principal, driving packaging and test equipment solutions for complex, high-reliability programs. His background spans mold and machine design, tolerance analysis, and development processes, enabling practical engineering decisions that scale to manufacturing. Outside work he balances engineering rigor with a hands-on maker mindset—previous lab roles included designing mounting parts for high-power pulsed systems—while also being a cyclist and active father. Trae’s strength is translating tight tolerance requirements into manufacturable designs that meet both performance and production constraints.
