Mechanical Design Engineer & Mould Production Lead
NETRONIC Group (SKIFTECH / Lasertag.net) |
Laser Tag & VR / Tactical Training Systems | Kharkiv Region, Ukraine |
2020-2023 (Full-time) | periodic project-based collaboration continuing to present.
Key Engineering Contributions:
End-to-End Product & Tooling Engineering - Designed and led product and tooling projects
across four core engineering areas: product design, mould engineering, toolroom fabrication
management, and moulding process industrialization:
● Product Design & DFM: Co-developed products for laser tag and tactical simulators within
cross-functional R&D teams (electronic engineers, software engineers, designers, mechanical
engineers, QA testers, and analysts), taking joint ownership of product architecture from
concept alignment and data-driven requirement analysis through to final release. Developed
plastic components, assemblies, enclosures, internal systems and mechanisms, balancing
functional requirements, production capabilities, available technologies, material

characteristics, tolerances, cost and other constraints. Defined production methods,
technologies, and strategies for newly developed components.
● Mould Engineering: Designed cost-effective injection moulds for plastic components and
generated complete tooling packages (2D drawings, assembly layouts, BOMs), resolving
machining limitations, tooling constraints, tolerances, and production challenges.
● Toolroom & Mould Manufacturing: Established and managed the mould manufacturing
process, coordinating toolmaking personnel and external manufacturers across machining,
heat treatment, grinding, standard components and mould assembly. Defined technical
requirements, manufacturing methods, quality requirements, costs and lead times, and
controlled workmanship and dimensional accuracy.
● Moulding, Industrialization & T1/T2 Validation: Coordinated the moulding process, including
mould trials, IMM setup, process parameter adjustment, T1/T2 trials and evaluation of moulded
components. Transferred validated tooling and manufacturing processes to serial production
and provided engineering support during production.Used trial feedback to refine tooling
parameters, optimize cycle times, and execute engineering change orders (ECOs).

Engineering Philosophy
I intentionally built my experience by learning manufacturing from the inside - progressing through
machining, CNC programming, tooling development and industrialization - to understand not only how
products are designed, but also how they are made, assembled and improved.

I believe the strongest engineering decisions are those validated by practical manufacturing experience.
