Hi, I’m Emma Rosicky, a design-minded mechanical engineer blending engineering rigor with design sensibility and practical know-how. I thrive at the intersection of hardware and user experience, bridging ideas with machinists and manufacturers to deliver clear, cost-effective, and timely solutions. I work well in both startup environments and large institutions, and I’m always looking for ways to improve processes. I enjoy turning constraints into robust products, whether prototyping with 3D printing, leading cross-functional design reviews, or orchestrating automation to boost throughput. I bring strong communication, problem-solving, and hands-on fabrication to every project, from urban greenhouse kits to autonomous subsystems.…Hi, I’m Emma Rosicky, a design-minded mechanical engineer blending engineering rigor with design sensibility and practical know-how.

Work Experience

Mechanical Design Associate at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (ALS-U Project)

February 1, 2024 - February 1, 2024

Designed mechanical components, technical drawings, and installation instructions in Creo Parametric. Proactively communicated with machinists and manufacturers to ensure design clarity, cost-effectiveness, and timely delivery. Identified and implemented a new database management process: a 10,000+ item spreadsheet utilized Visual Basic to reduce calculation times from hours to seconds, now serving as the source of truth for all electrical designs across the project. Organized cross-functional design reviews, synthesizing feedback from electrical, structural, and installation teams to ensure high-quality deliverables. Prepared updates for quarterly reviews with DOE representatives.

Product Manager & Mechanical Engineer at OnePointOne Inc. (Vertical Farming Startup)

December 1, 2022 - December 1, 2022

Managed 3 engineering teams concurrently to achieve UL certification and successful initial farm Go-Live: balancing agile processes with commitment to deadlines. Produced GD&T accurate CAD drawings in SolidWorks and Inventor, designed with manufacturing ease in mind. Served as Responsible Engineer for the primary mobile robotics subsystem, reducing payload deployment system errors from 11% to 0.5%, ensuring uptime to meet forecasted sales and daily output. Transformed a 190-minute manual process into 10 minutes of supervised automation, dramatically increasing throughput. Developed robot testing plans and pass criteria, collecting and analyzing error data to inform next iterations of robotic improvements.

Senior Design Project at Santa Clara University, School of Engineering

June 1, 2021 - June 1, 2021

Frugal Urban Greenhouse: designed a custom greenhouse kit balancing functionality and aesthetics to enable food security for residents; reduced assembly time by 3 hours and cut material costs by 50%, enabling crops to generate an estimated 13% of a gardener’s annual income. Conducted market and patent research to identify affordability, ergonomics, and durability gaps; built three full-scale mock-ups and facilitated assembly workshops with clear assembly instructions across language barriers.

Undergraduate Materials Research Assistant at Santa Clara University

August 1, 2019 - August 1, 2019

Investigated ultrasonic wire bonding using nanoscale imaging techniques to assess efficacy. Researched current best practices for material surface preparation. Designed and documented standard operating procedures (SOPs) for repeatable sample preparation, balancing reliability, ergonomics, and material cost. Created 3D MATLAB algorithms to visualize data, analyze performance, and clearly communicate findings.
