Ed Castillo’s technical career began in high school as a co-op student with GM. After graduation from Michigan State University with a BSME, he has worked in the Defense, Industrial Electronics and Healthcare industries. At Spartan Electronics, the Anti-Submarine Warfare Center (though he is neither Anti-Submarines nor Pro war), he worked the lead design engineer for a new concept sonobuoy that would be deployed on ice, penetrate the ice and collect thermal data below. Later, he worked for Allen Bradley (now Rockwell), on Intelligent Sensing Products. He is currently Principle Engineer, in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering, GE Healthcare, where he focuses on the use of additive technologies to facilitate tooling. Throughout his career as a Design engineer, he has moved his designs from the engineering lab to production by incorporating manufacturing processes into his designs, using design to drive functional robustness, and keeping in mind the people who will be using the the products. Highlights of his job: • always getting to be involved in the ‘How’ --- how things are made and work • always learning new things • always getting to “touch things” Everything is a puzzle to solve.
