About Me

DSC07075.jpg

I’m Will Harvey.

I work as a mechatronics engineer during the day and really enjoy being able to make multidisciplinary systems work. Documentation is one of my favorite pastimes, but it’s hard to beat the satisfaction of troubleshooting a new electromechanical system where the issue could be coming from multiple systems with different logic that are supposed to all work together.

My career has been centered around automotive so far, but my interest lies in anything that makes a positive contribution to the world around us. I’m currently working at a startup focused on improving electric motor and powertrain technology, where we’re working to minimize the need for rare earth elements without compromising the efficiency of electric machines.
