Elliott Beauchamp

Dynamic engineer transitioning from mechanical design support to systems engineering and integration projects, with expertise in industrial protocols and IoT solutions. Combined strong cross-functional collaboration skills with technical system design capabilities to deliver customer-focused products while optimizing costs and streamlining certification processes.

Key Expertise & Achievements:

• Systems Engineering & Industrial Protocols: Designed and launched new product variants incorporating industrial standard protocols, reducing certification overhead and accelerating market entry. Developed comprehensive system specifications, managed technical constraints, and collaborated on PCB design and electrical integration initiatives.
• IoT & Industry 4.0 Development: Spearheaded the company's first IoT system implementation, defining system architecture, integrating COTS components, and ensuring robust cybersecurity and GDPR compliance. Successfully managed external dependencies including Cloud platforms while supporting external penetration testing and compliance certification efforts.
• Customer-Focused Product Development: Partnered with sales teams to define precise requirements, create bespoke product variants, and deliver comprehensive design data packs for manufacturing.
• Production & Quality Enhancement: Conducted thorough investigations of product failures, implemented effective corrective actions, and significantly improved product reliability, resulting in reduced returns.
• Strategic Market Expansion: Provided strategic advice to leadership on emerging market opportunities and product strategies, ensuring alignment between technical solutions and business growth objectives.
• Regulatory Compliance & Certification: Successfully led certification processes for new product introductions, ensuring full compliance with industry standards without project delays.

During a year-long placement as part of my university degree, I contributed to multiple engineering projects across various disciplines:

• Designed components for both existing and next-generation products, from prototypes to testing fixtures.
• Created and updated technical drawings in accordance with BS8888 standards
• Developed new software to test & evaluate prototypes
• Performed product testing, data analysis, and compiled technical reports
• Analysed manufacturing processes to identify causes of poor yield, and presented solutions to the Head of Production

• Promoted to shift manager, responsible for staff supervision, handling customer complaints, managing stock and cash office operations, and participating in management meetings to improve business efficiency
• Implemented a bespoke stock management system using excel, dynamically optimising stock held based on consumption rates and minimum stock levels

• Designed and built an art installation, 'The Light,' an interactive LED-illuminated inflatable globe, gaining experience in design, prototyping, and electronics
• Led installations at Dolphin Shopping Centre, Romsey Abbey, and Salisbury Cathedral, with a focus on safety and planning for work at heights
