Bruce Branstad

San Fernando Valley, Sun Valley, California, 91352

I am a Senior Engineering Technologist with more than 30 years of hands-on experience across electrical and mechanical engineering, CAD, CAM, machining, manufacturing, test systems, and technical documentation. My work is built around practical problem-solving, accuracy, and attention to the details that affect fit, function, manufacturability, and reliability.

 I bring a broad technical background that allows me to move comfortably between design, troubleshooting, documentation, fabrication, and manufacturing support. I approach problems analytically, adapt to changing requirements, and continue to expand my skills as engineering tools and technologies evolve.

 I work best where technical judgment, practical execution, and clear communication matter.

 My goal is simple: produce work that is accurate, useful, and dependable.

Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation. - John Ruskin
