Thomas Cooley

Mechanical Engineer

I have spent my 10-year career supporting programs from early concept to sustainment efforts. I've held a variety of roles and have experience in project, systems, structural, test, design, and manufacturing engineering. I think engineering is the most satisfying when you are allowed ownership and the opportunity to challenge yourself.

Questions & Answers

How do you make people laugh?

I'm fluent in pop culture references and love to crack jokes; hopefully at the appropriate time.

If you were a tool or piece of equipment, what would you be and why?

I would be a multitool. I like to be useful and involved in any project and feel the most at home when I'm working to solve a "think outside the box" problem.

What's your favorite productivity hack or time-saving trick?

I use OneNote to track everything; from day-to-day tasks to major projects to meeting notes, workflows, and concept development. It allows me to have a one-stop-shop for everything I need to get done or am working on.
