Jamie Kelso
Principal Engineer
As a Principal Engineer at Sigma Design, I enjoy guiding engineering teams and leading innovative design projects. With over 20 years in Mechanical Engineering, I specialize in directing cross-disciplinary teams to deliver exceptional solutions for a diverse project range including drones, industrial equipment, consumer electronics, and more.
My approach combines technical expertise with strategic problem-solving. I thrive on complex challenges, collaborating closely with teams to uncover and implement effective solutions for our clients.
Driven by a passion for CAD and engineering analysis (FEA, FBD, statics, dynamics, strengths of materials, etc.), I find fulfillment in refining designs into optimized, efficient, and simplified solutions. Beyond technical work, I take pride in influencing talented teams and impacting innovations that exceed client expectations.

Questions & Answers
How do you make people laugh?
The question is actually how do I not make people laugh?
If you were a tool or piece of equipment, what would you be and why?
If I were a tool, I'd be CAD. CAD is like a game to me. It's where I get to unleash my creativity and precision, crafting intricate designs and building complex assemblies from the ground up. Just like in a game, I optimize these designs for both function and aesthetics, always striving for that perfect balance.
In this game, I explore relationships, simulate concepts for analysis, and collaborate with designers and clients. It's all about customizing designs that seamlessly integrate with other software, making the whole process even more exciting. CAD is my ultimate sandbox, where I can transform ideas into tangible products and bring my engineering essence to life.
