I’m Noah Erickson, a mechanical engineer specializing in manufacturing, precision design, and hands-on prototyping, with a focus on building systems that perform reliably in the real world.

Engineering Portfolio: Design, Manufacturing, & Problem Solving

This portfolio presents selected projects and challenges that demonstrate my approach to mechanical design, manufacturing, and problem-solving.

At the Brigham Young University Prototyping Lab, I collaborated with engineering teams and researchers to bring complex ideas from concept to functional prototypes. My work supported high-performance student teams like Formula Electric, SAE Baja, BYU Rocketry, Supermileage, The Compliant Mechanism Research (CMR) Lab, and advanced research efforts, including projects funded by NASA.

Selected Projects & Engineering Solutions

Formula Electric

This was one of the front uprights for BYU's Formula car. In order to complete this part quicker I switch the machining process to be 5 times more efficent.

Custom Workholding

The BYU Prototyping Lab often had all sorts of odd projects. I modeled and machined these clamps to assist in holding material while it was machined.

Micro Parts

One of my favorite parts of working at the BYU Prototyping Lab was the wide range of projects we got from big to small. This was a custom washer that a team needed to retain some springs.

Rocket Fin Adjusting Ring

This ring was machined from 321 stainless steel. It is a titanium stabilized stainless and is a high temperature alloy. This ring when rotated by a servo will adjust the fins by splaying them out or pulling them tight together.

Model Radial Engine Mount

Machined from aluminum, this part I modeled and machined to simply look good. It holds the model radial engine that I machined and built while working at the BYU Prototyping Lab.

Model Radial Engine Propeller

These are a collection of the most difficults part I made while working at the Prototyping Lab. Each propeller is made up of 3 blades, 1 nose cone, 2 hub pieces (front and back), and a custom collet.

Metal Screwdriver

I designed and machined this screwdriver entirely on manual machines. It was purely for fun and a bit to test myself.
