Jesse Radzikowski BSc Mechanical Engineering Technology from the

Rochester Institute of Technology

Innovation and the ability to make ideas and concepts a reality, through working with others

and hands on analytical problem solving is where my true passion exists.

Hot Coffee: 60% longer, Cold Coffee: 66% longer.

Packaging Prototypes:

Performance Testing: Hot & Iced Coffee

Goal: Allow the packaging to visually

communicate the use of the product.

Manufacturing Cost Reduction:

Metallic foil was cheaper and gave an enhanced

performance appearance due to its reflectivity. Soft goods

went from a Velcro wrap around to a slip on product.

Additionally sewing in a zig-zag requires less manual labor

and gives a greater quality to the product. Average total

savings of 60% per unit.

Design and Development of JavaSkinz™

Supporting a start up company

Design and Development of a product to make coffee

hotter longer. FAILED attempt at crowd source funding

on KICKSTARTER, raised $3,261 of $9,500 needed for

mass production. Post Kickstarter company, Nova

Solutions LLC, brought on investors.



Personal Projects: Color Organ

Enhancing music with visual stimulation

Description: Using an electrical circuit to emulate the pulse of a musical frequency

into light.

How: Through the use of operational amplifier, op amp, I was able to generate a circuit

to split the frequency of sound and apply it to any type of light source compatible with a

standard US plug.

Future: Developing same circuit principles of this circuit to place in the top of a Voss

bottle. Have the colours, frequency and intensity controlled via an app through blue tooth

connectivity.

3-POINT BENDING FATIGUE TESTER

*Team consisting of Jesse Radzikowski, Alice Watts, Steve Brown, Nick Ryan, Mike Rodriguez, Taylor Osmonson & Harhsil Sukhadia completed this project over a course of a 10 week quarter term.

Constraints:

Electrical:

Due to the 10 week time constraint to design,

fabricate, verify and validate the original design

was not fabricated. The College of Applied

Science and Technology allowed our team to

use the “Green Machine” due to its

resemblance to our original design. In return

the College will now use the Fatigue tester for

Engineering classes.

Dr. Destler’s E-Vehicle Autocross for Imagine RIT

Designed, Fabricated and raced E-Vehicle


Major Work: -machined own

crimpers.

-Designed and

preformed Finite

Element Analysis

(FEA) on motor

mount.

-Welded additional

supports.

Details: Last semester while taking advanced

knowledge of electrical and mechanical engineering I

successfully lead a team of 7 in the design and

fabrication of an electric go-kart for an E-Autocross

Competition

Specification: Used a powerful 28 HP electric motor

to power the go kart which demonstrates both speed

and maneuverability while also allowing for advanced

data acquisition of various components, used for

Engineering class now.

Learning Curve: Learned quick time management

skills to lead a team properly and split tasks

appropriately. One hour before the event an error in my

program allowed double necessary current to pulse

through the electronics burning up the contactor.

“Unofficial” run time would have won competition,

beating our University Electric Vehicle Club who took

first place.

Fisher-Price™ Internship

Product Development Engineer

New Product Development:

I designed a new phone case for the laugh and learn apptivity

monkey. The case allowed for non iPhone to be used. There is a

small market for apple products which would fit into this toy. The

larger market share of other smart phones would result in greater

sales of this product. The case also twisted into the doll, thus when

the phone was not in use with the toy the case could be taken off for

use as a normal plush toy.

Designed the Stroller Activity Pal clip. Market research was done

at a local Toys R Us to obtain the testing parameters to ensure the

design of the clip would match various stroller types and function

properly.


*Due to confidentiality I am only at liberty to discuss various projects, Sketches, brain storming & process . These pictures represent, some but not all, products I worked on while

interning at Fisher-Price™, in the summer of 2013, which are now on the market for purchase.

Product Modifications:

The bath toy was having trouble properly

flipping through the water. Used various

weight distribution and holes inside the toy to

make it function properly.

Pooh bear would not properly push down,

required large force. Modified interior of

product so that the arms would go into the

toy. Placed internal guides for arms to avoid

pinching.

Cross Collaborated with various Engineering, Industrial Design and Marketing teams to come up with new toy innovations.


Metsä Board Internship

Research and Development Engineer

e: [email protected] t: +358 (0)46 5500524

Solution: DYOE (Design Your Own Experiment)

Utilized knowledge gained from R & D and testing experience to design

and fabricate a creasing testing apparatus to be utilized in combination

with a Zwick/Roell testing machine. Designed experiment to analyze

optimal creasing results.

*Due to confidentiality I am only at liberty to discuss various projects, Sketches, testing, analysis, brain storming & process . These pictures represent, some but not all, testing of which I

preformed while interning at Metsä Board, in the summer & Fall of 2014, in Finland.

SolidWorks Drawings:

Scope of Project: Make educated recommendations for the best creasing results based on paper board grades.

Examples of StandardTesting:

Edge Crush Test Zwick/Roell Z010 Flat Crush Test

Implementation:

Designed Creasing Apparatus


Personal Projects: Yamaha Coaster & RIT Chocolate Bar


Yamaha Coaster:

Used JPG image to design Yamaha symbol in Auto Desk Inventor.

Imported model into Edgecam where I programmed the proper tools,

paths, feeds and speeds to to generate a computer numerical control

(CNC) code for the CNC mill.

RIT Chocolate Bar: CAD model > 3D Printed model> Thermoformed mold > Chocolate Bar.

Designed Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) chocolate bar. Desired a design which repressed RIT properly. RIT is

known as “Brick City” for having over 15,615,000 bricks used throughout the campus. To incorporate the sense and style

of the University the back of the chocolate bar represents the bricks, the tiger paw represents the mascot (Tiger) and of

course the school abbreviation of RIT.


Design Thinking & Concept Development Shopping and the Aging Population

Prototype built from easy

assessable materials

making it quick to modify.

SolidWorks Rendering

to demonstrate ability

to collapse and fold into

smaller foot print for

transportation.

IDEATION: Sketch's of handles and cart.

Solution: Product which allows for

easy transportation of groceries.

Approach: Market research into

the needs of elderly consumers. The

major issue being mobility and the

lack of service or physical ability to

assist in bringing the bags to the

vehicle or bus stop.

Ideation: Various handles which

could clip on walker to assist with

carrying bags. Also personal small

carts which can be used to wheel

around store as well as in the parking

lot to the vehicle or bus.

Final Design: Dolly which holds

multiple bags with minimal physical

strength to transport.
