Mateo Otero-Diaz

Skilled in mechanical design and simulation, I bring hands-on experience with CAD tools such as Autodesk Inventor, Siemens NX, PTC CREO and SolidWorks. My design background extends from aerospace rigging systems, deployable telescopes and CubeSats, to embedded systems such as 2D scanners and dynamometers. I have a wealth of experience in mechanical design within different applications including aerospace, automotive, and consumer products.

My mechanical analysis experience includes stress analysis for aerospace rigging systems, collision and impact analysis for automotive chassis, and material verification of geartrain teeth to validate strength and torque requirements. I use tools such as ANSYS, MSC ADAMS, MSC NASTRAN, Mathcad, and MATLAB for analysis and verification, and I communicate technical results clearly to both specialist and non‑technical audiences.

My skills extend beyond traditional mechanical work to include integration and testing (I&T) of precision metal seals and optical assemblies for the Da Vinci probe, embedded systems development for line‑following robots, 2D scanners and interactive consumer products, data analysis for thermodynamic systems and probabilistic models through MATLAB and R, and software development for games and this website using Python, HTML, and CSS.
