# Noah S. > Product Development Engineer Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/noahs I specialize in human centered product design and mechanical engineering. I graduated with a BS in Manufacturing and Design Engineering from Northwestern University, and am proficient in mechanical and industrial design, computer aided design and have excellent technical drawing, writing and communication skills. I developed a passion for product design and mechanical engineering through my internships at Lighter Than Air Research & Exploration, where I worked on designing and manufacturing flight hardware testing rigs; and at OXO where I worked on designing cutting edge quality testing rigs and assisted the product design team with ideation and mechanical simulation. I take an interdisciplinary approach to the most challenging design and engineering problems. Digging deep to get to the root of a problem and creating solutions that work for all stake holders, improve people's lives and companies’ bottom lines, is my goal. I am currently the Test Engineer for OXO in New York, NY. ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Engineer @ Relatable (Previously What Do You Meme?)
