Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDexter Carpenter is a mechatronics engineer in Portland, Oregon with eight years of multidisciplinary experience bridging mechanical design, controls, and project leadership. Transitioning from a mechanical engineering background, he has led hands-on automation and prototype builds at Timberline Automation and steered student-led aerospace efforts—co-founding and treasuring OSU’s Experimental Sounding Rocket Team that achieved a 10,013 ft test flight and competed at Spaceport America. He combines practical fabrication skills (notably in composites) with simulation and data-driven design, having developed MATLAB tools for air-brake analysis and managed cross-disciplinary teams. Comfortable with both field deployments and lab coordination, he’s also led open-project workflows and GitHub organization work in academic research settings. Known for turning small, inexperienced teams into competition-ready programs, he brings a pragmatic, systems-level approach to complex electromechanical problems.
