Eric Oh
Mechanical Engineer & Robotics Builder
I'm a mechanical engineering student at Northwestern University, minoring in computer science, with a passion for robotics and mechatronics. I design and build hardware end-to-end — from CAD and FEA to the PCBs, firmware, and control loops that bring it to life. I care deeply about the details, whether that's a fillet radius that changes a stress concentration or a PID gain that eliminates overshoot.

Experience
Jun. 2026 – Present
Mechanical Engineering Intern
Temple Allen Industries
Designing and validating CAD models of production components, evaluating linear actuators against load and integration requirements, and supporting production assembly.
Jan. 2025 – Present
Mechanical Design & Robotics Research Assistant
Northwestern University Haptics Lab
Designed a cable-driven haptic device and a bilateral robotic hand, and built a custom PCB with a 24-bit ADC for high-speed strain-gauge acquisition, complete with a reusable SPI driver library.
