Jim Fusco - Operations Manager - Direct manager at Dynamic Water Tech. Jan. 24-Sept. 25

My professional pursuits have cultivated a strong aptitude for electrical and mechanical systems. Starting my career in the military, I found a passion for turning wrenches and chasing electrical faults for as long as it took to solve the problem. I then followed that passion gleefully into the hydroforming, automation, and avionics industries.

Years of trying to cram my body + a hand tool + diagnostic equipment into a too-small space while maintaining any semblance of dexterity sparked an even deeper passion: design. As a design engineer I find great satisfaction in approaching my projects with the feedback I wanted to provide during my years as a maintenance engineer.

I believe that half of my job as a design engineer is to deliver products meet the parameters that have been set, and the other half is to make the lives of my fabricators easier. So while I pride myself on consistently outputting improved upon products, I never forget that there is more to learn. I will never pass up an opportunity to hear another engineer's ideas or seek feedback from my customers and manufacturing teams.

In my off time, you’ll often find me outdoors. I enjoy camping, off-roading, bird watching, and taking advantage of Arizona's beautiful waterways in my kayak.

I sincerely appreciate your interest in my resume and your time viewing my portfolio. I invite you to scroll down and explore the skills, experiences, and values I bring to the table—many of which go beyond what a resume can capture.

Engineer in Charge - Daifuku Cleanroom

Initially hired as a field service technician, I was quickly promoted to oversee all Daifuku equipment in Intel's Fab 22 and Fab 32.

Each middle-of-the-night call thereafter reinforced the importance of doing the job thoroughly and correctly the first time. This role taught me the meaning of professional integrity—when no one is double-checking your work, you're either the reason someone sleeps peacefully or the reason they’re woken up at 2 a.m. on a Saturday. The sense of responsibility I developed during this time has only grown stronger and continues to guide every project I take on today.

In this role, I gained exposure to and experience with PLCs, automated machines, and working in cleanroom environments.

PATRIOT System Repairer - U.S. Army

My love for troubleshooting was born in the Army, where I found satisfaction in the challenge of complex faults—often working 24+ hour site calls simply because I refused to leave without unmasking the problem. Whether it was a tough week in the field or a shared BBQ behind the barracks, I built deep bonds with my team and learned what value true teamwork offers.

Chief CAD Engineer - Dynamic Water Technologies

Filling an urgent need for manufacturing support, I immediately took on as-built documentation, design and revision of pilot projects from concept through delivery, and establishing drafting and CAD file storage standards. With the ship set in the right direction, I had the opportunity to conduct flow simulations and finite element analysis (FEA) in an effort to improve existing products.

I recognized the importance of mentorship and team development early on; by investing time in training and standards, I was able to minimize revisions and streamline the review process for the mechanical engineering team.

Mechanical Designer II - Watertectonics

Working as a part of multi-disciplinary engineering teams, this role has fueled extensive growth in both my skills and knowledge base. I feel very fortunate to have received mentorship from the senior mechanical, process, and electrical engineers on those teams. Providing manufacturing drawings for a shop full of tools different than those available at Dynamic Water forced me to explore new manufacturing techniques and approach challenges in new ways.
