Mariah De Torres

I’m Mariah, a 2024 Nanotechnology Engineering graduate from the University of Waterloo, with a multidisciplinary foundation in mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering.

I have over 2 years of experience in 3D printing and CAD (SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor), producing parts for prototypes, assemblies, and production components. I enjoy bringing design concepts to life and often volunteer my graphic design skills to support colleagues and local businesses.

I have experience in procurement and production, managing $1 million in funds for material acquisition, purchase orders, and production schedules, while coordinating with engineering teams and suppliers to maintain accurate BOMs and ensure on-time delivery. Additionally, I have supported project and product management, tracking budgets and coordinating cross-departmental initiatives. While I am still building formal management expertise, I am eager to expand my skills in this area.

A collaborative team player, I enjoy working across departments on projects that create meaningful impact!

Detail-oriented and technically skilled Nanotechnology Engineering graduate with hands-on experience in production planning, procurement, and prototype development. Experienced in managing supplier communications, coordinating BOMs and production schedules, and supporting assembly processes. Proficient in CAD design, 3D printing, and component fabrication for prototyping and small-scale manufacturing. Adept at streamlining workflows, maintaining accurate records, and contributing to sustainable and efficient product development.

Completed a rigorous program combining advanced engineering principles with hands-on experience in nanoscale systems. Gained in-depth knowledge of continuum mechanics, materials science, and micro- and nanosystem design. Developed strong skills in CAD modeling, simulation, and numerical analysis for complex engineering problems. Participated in prototyping and microfabrication projects, including 3D printing and small-scale assembly, applying theoretical knowledge to real-world engineering challenges. Cultivated expertise in problem-solving, data analysis, and interdisciplinary collaboration in both academic and lab environments.
