Hello! Welcome to my website and portfolio. My name is Colin Jalbert and I am a product designer and mechatronics engineer. I have been making art, designing inventions and building electro-mechanical projects my entire life which led me to attain a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in the spring of 2019.

Since then I have worked both professionally and personally as a product designer and engineer to ever improve my ability to create useful and wonderful things. I am very familiar with the US patenting process, have 9+ years of 3D modeling experience and I am at my best when pacing around a silent room or constructively arguing with other designers and engineers. I am very familiar with the prototyping process, designing machines to perfection and communicating with both co-workers and customers to meet their various needs.

Professional Design and Engineering Experience

Position: Mechanical Engineer

Date: July 2021-June 2023

At Sartorius, I developed my engineering and documentation (URS, DFS, BOM, DFMEA) capabilities by leading mechanical development for chromatography machines while meeting complex regulatory challenges. I was the lead mechanical engineer on multiple projects and was responsible for the 3d modeling, force simulation and optimization alongside coordinating the project with the other team leads. I independently brought in-house prototyping to the Sartorius Hopkinton location and led the purchasing, machine assembly and new member training for the facility.


Made Robotics LLC

Position: Product Designer and Engineer

Date: May 2019-Present

After graduating in the spring of 2019, I worked at Made Robotics LLC in San Jose, California designing Omnidirectional Wheelchairs and successfully helped prototype a full-sized model in the fall of 2020. Through this experience I became formidable at designing for manufacturing, technical document preparation and ergonomic design.




Personal Project Experience;


Mixed Material Wall Art

In the summer of 2023 I made a major improvement to my personal workshop and created art pieces using eight types of wood, aluminum 6061 and epoxy resin.

The process requires individually 3D modeling the pieces and converting the models into cnc toolpaths. After contour operations and various types of material pre and post processing, the pieces are assembled together and placed into a mold. Epoxy resin can then be added in layers followed by extensive sanding and polishing. Each piece took between 100 to 300 hours.

Pile-On

In the summer of 2019, I purchased my first 3D printer, a Qidi X-Plus and made a combination art/utility project. The Pile-On contains more than 40 3D printed and aluminum parts.

Inside the lowest intersection is a planetary gear train and a frictionless rotary system which allows for both the upper platform and the lotus piece to counterclockwise rotate on the inside.

POD Series

I built a working proof of concept for a single passenger pod-ship for transportation during the lockdown of 2018.

Other Projects

    1. C++ Programmable Controller with 6-Axis IMU, Various Sensors and Wifi Communication
    2. 3-Axis CNC Drawing Machine with User Controllable Interface
    3. Light Emitting Hexapod, Capable of Object Avoidance and Multiple Walking Gaits
    4. Custom Power Cell Terminals and Enclosure
