# Hunter Celio > Product Design at Skydio Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/huntercelio ## Work Experience ### Product Design Engineer @ Skydio Jan 2023 – Present ### Product Manager @ Saildrone Inc Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 ### Mechanical Engineer @ Saildrone Inc Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | United States ### Sustaining Engineering Intern @ Formlabs Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Somerville, Massachusetts, United States Designed and validated a change in resin cartridge packaging resulting in at least $75,000 in cost savings annually, improved user experience, and increased sustainability. Identified, de-risked, and validated a 5% weight reduction to Form 3 design. If implemented, changes amount to more than $400,000 in annual savings. Worked with manufacturing, industrial design, user experience, and product development teams to drive optimization and implementation of projects. Collected and analyzed data to perform root cause analysis of printer issues and carry out cost benefit analysis of possible patches and permanent fixes. ### MechE Researcher @ MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 Designed, modeled, and simulated a robotic manipulator that used easily manufactured 2-D parts and off the shelf servo motors. Optimized the manipulator and end effector to be scalable and function cooperatively with a swarm of robots utilizing range based navigation. Facilitated assembly of the manipulator remotely. ### Intern @ Syserco, Inc. Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area Troubleshot, analyzed, and repaired energy management and control systems on 3 high visibility, high pressure construction projects. Identified faulty units, created system graphics, manually fixed HVAC units, and quality controlled complex electrical equipment. ### Undergraduate Researcher @ MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE) Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Cambridge, Massachusetts Created a mechanical bottle cap remover to be used in the Mechanics and Materials class as a way for students to apply class concepts. Calculated forces within the materials to make decisions about the appropriate shapes, sizes, and metals to be used in the machine to ensure that the bottle cap remover did not experience mechanical failure. ### Physics Teacher @ Universidad Panamericana Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Aguascalientes Area, Mexico Guided a team of 11 high school students through the process of building a motor powered by corona discharge to prepare them for the International Young Physicists Competition. Coached students on how to present and communicate their work in a professional, high– stakes environment. ### Undergraduate Researcher @ Venice Water Authority Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Venice Area, Italy Produced a solution outlining how to best utilize a vacant construction lot to capture, store, and use energy and water. Researched, collaborated, and presented findings to the Venice Water Authority in collusion with MIT and IUAV faculty and students ### Undergraduate Researcher @ MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE) Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Cambridge, Massachusetts Converted an I4 engine to run on producer gas with minimal treatment and cleanup systems. Analyzed, measured, and altered engine output in a test engine cell using LabVIEW. ### Undergraduate Researcher @ Sloan Automotive Labratory Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Cambridge, Massachusetts Constructed hardware-in-the-loop for an I4 engine to perform testing on. Collected data on particle buildup and patterns in fuel filters. ## Education ### Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/hunter-celio --- Source: https://flows.cv/huntercelio JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/huntercelio/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-23
