Stefan Elsener’s Summary
With four years of design, build, and test experience on original designs I am on track to enter the workforce with a solid base of experience that would be an asset to any company.
My short term goal is to enter the unmanned systems industry or composite design and manufacturing sector as a design engineer. My interests include unmanned air vehicles (UAV's) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGV's) for both government and civil use as well as general product design. I especially enjoy mission design. i.e. payload or prototype design to fulfill specific mission/function goals.
I would like to find a company that provides a diverse experience in which I can work on projects from concept to test, and possibly gain experience in several different sectors such as aviation/aeronautics, transportation, robotics, renewable systems, and product design.
My long term goals include positions as systems engineer and project manager on a major unmanned systems team.
