I am Will Tessler, a Mechanical Design Engineer with extensive experience in fixture design, automation, and PLC programming. I excel at creating tooling and fixtures that improve manufacturing efficiency, collaborating with machinists and moldmakers to ensure manufacturability, and delivering designs that work reliably the first time. Throughout my career I have led design reviews, maintained comprehensive documentation and BOMs, and helped transition CAD systems to Siemens NX while integrating with SAP. I have worked on assembly lines in Juarez and Suzhou, implemented conveyors with barcode tracking, and developed testing machines requiring PLC, HMI, and stepper motor control. I thrive on tough challenges and enjoy helping teams achieve high-quality results.
