Lead Design Engineer | Mechanical & Biomedical

Designing systems that ship.

DCU-trained (MEng/BEng). I deliver large-scale mechanical systems from concept to installation - CAD detail, DFM decisions, supplier/site coordination, and calm delivery under deadlines.

About

I combine hands-on mechanical design delivery with biomedical R&D experience. I like problems where clean engineering and clear communication matter: aligning stakeholders, simplifying complexity, and designing parts that are actually easy to make and assemble.

Experience

Recent roles with a focus on ownership, delivery, and leadership.

Turmec Teoranta

Lead Design Engineer • May 2024 – Present • Meath, Ireland
