BRIAN PEOPLES
SUMMARY
Hi there! I'm Brian Peoples, a mechanical engineer currently located near Boston, MA. In July of 2023, I embarked on a new journey with Analog Devices as a manufacturing engineer supporting hybrid electrical assembly for the aerospace and defense industry. As of July 2024 I will in part be pursuing a MS in Engineering Management with a focus on product management.
My previous experience includes Apple Inc. where I supported the Softgoods TechOps organization as a manufacturing engineer intern from May 2022 - May 2023, primarily focused on Vision Pro. Additionally, I’ve completed 3x internships at SharkNinja LLC as a mechanical test engineer supporting NPI development of the SpeedStyle hairdryer, CarpetXpert, Vacmop, among other legacy upright cordless vacuums.
​
Experienced in design, data visualization, and statistics for high and low volume manufacturing.
I encourage and practice bringing together solutions to engineering problems that do not cause future interference. In process quality and customer vision are what drive successful organizations.

-
Tinkerer, I like to understand then improve
Weaknesses:
-
Loves destructive testing
-
Sometimes lets powerpoints / keynotes grow too large (ops)
