Hi, I’m Calvin Sou, a mechanical designer with over 15 years of experience supporting automation, robotics, medical devices, and mechanical product development. I specialize in 3D CAD modeling, complex assemblies, and engineering documentation using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Creo, and Revit. I have a strong track record delivering manufacturable designs, maintaining configuration control, and collaborating with engineering, manufacturing, and R&D teams. I thrive in automated systems and regulated environments (ISO 9001, ISO 13485) and enjoy turning challenging concepts into robust, practical solutions. I’m comfortable from concept through prototyping to production, with hands-on experience in BOM management, ECO/ECN processes, tolerance analysis, FEA, and testing. I enjoy cross-functional collaboration, mentoring junior designers, and driving design-for-manufacturability. When I’m not in CAD, I’m optimizing layouts for electrical and mechanical interfaces or supporting QA and manufacturing to ensure quality and traceability.…Hi, I’m Calvin Sou, a mechanical designer with over 15 years of experience supporting automation, robotics, medical devices, and mechanical product development.
