# Xavier Johnson > University of California Berkeley Location: Berkeley, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/xavierjohnson I am a mechanical engineer interested in design and innovation. I have previous experiences in consumer electronics, semiconductor manufacturing, and home products ## Work Experience ### Product Development Engineer 1 @ Mattel, Inc. Jan 2025 – Present | Los Angeles Metropolitan Area ### Mechanical Engineering Intern @ ASML Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | San Diego Metropolitan Area ### Lead Engineering Professional Practice Ambassador @ University of Tennessee, Knoxville Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Knoxville, Tennessee, United States ### Product Design Enginneer Intern @ Amazon Lab126 Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Sunnyvale, California, United States ### Hardware Development Engineer Intern @ Amazon Lab126 Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Sunnyvale, California, United States ### Mechanical Engineer Co-op @ Siemens Healthineers Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Knoxville, Tennessee, United States Designed sheet metal parts for various medical devices and created new drawing revisions per ASME Y14. 100-2004 in NX 12 • Created a tolerance stack-up to find angular displacement between two parts to ensure the misalignment of the belt drive of the Patient Handler System (PHS) was in allowable range • Assisted development engineers in building and testing the Patient Handler System through life cycle, thermal imaging, and acoustic tests. Also assisted in prototyping new parts in order to improve safety/patient experience • Performed machine design calculations to ensure components of PHS had allowable safety factors, allowable angle misalignments, and to find areas to improve such as using new materials, editing tolerances on drawings, and using new components • Communicated with different suppliers/manufacturers to get quotes and ordered parts for engineers ### Undergraduate Research Assistant @ University of Tennessee, Knoxville Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 • Assisted in researching the use of robotic camera systems in minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) and in designing components of a product that uses a six DOF manipulator and other electrical components (SOLIDWORKS) • Developed innovative housings to secure PCB, MC board, and electronic modules in a fully enclosed environment while creating new methods to connect the housing to a force torque sensor and an actuator assembly, in process of getting patent for design • Improved actuator assembly by making the EPMs and micromotor easier to insert into housing, also created a method to connect this assembly to a part that houses multiple electrical components ### Quality/Design engineer co-op @ BSH Home Appliances Corporation - North America Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States • Designed different parts using principles of plastic part design in NX 12 and used 3-D printing to rapidly prototype parts to ensure proper functionality. • Developed a Python script that communicates to Home Connect API Simulators and could change Fridge/Freezer Temperature, get current setting-states/temperature, and log action of engineer in an SQL database. Also created Graphical User Interface (GUI) to allow engineers to easily use features and input data. • Designed parts for refrigerator assemblies and drafted new refrigerator assemblies in NX 12 and Teamcenter PDM • Assisted quality engineers in developing a data analytical software program in Excel to reduce time sorting through failure symptom data and filter necessary information. • Analyzed failure symptom and AR exchange data in excel and automated data entry tasks - Soldered thermocouples and assisted quality lab in monthly cleaning ### Summer Help @ Wagner General Contractors, Inc. Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | United States - Assisted construction workers in daily work and maintained a clean work environment while working at various locations in the city - Worked at Shelby Farms and wheelbarrowed rocks down incline into holes and tightened nuts to support the Climbing Nest. - Also assisted workers in drilling wooden slabs into metal slabs for seating. - Performed interior demolition at Riverdale Elementary, hammered out ceiling tiles, cut wires and rebar, and to open up space ## Education ### Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 ### Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering University of Tennessee, Knoxville Jan 2019 – Jan 2024 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/xavier-johnson-41a092199 - Website: http://volweb.utk.edu/~xjohnso5/ --- Source: https://flows.cv/xavierjohnson JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/xavierjohnson/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-07
