About Jorge

Mechanical engineer with solid experience in the design, analysis, and manufacturing of vacuum systems and high-precision devices for demanding scientific and industrial environments. I have worked on R&D projects in the field of nuclear fusion, developing vacuum chambers, custom manipulators, and diagnostic systems for tokamaks and other experimental devices.

I founded Vacuum & Precision Devices (VPD) to offer turnkey solutions in mechanical design, FEM simulation, system integration, and custom scientific equipment production. We combine high-precision engineering with in-house manufacturing capabilities, focusing on sectors such as aerospace, science, energy, and advanced automation.

✅ 3D CAD Design (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Catia)
✅ Structural, thermal, and vacuum simulation (FEM, ANSYS)
✅ Comprehensive R&D project management
✅ Hands-on experience in manufacturing, machining, and assembly

I am seeking to collaborate with industrial companies, research centers, and technological startups that require support in the design, validation, and construction of unique equipment. I am deeply committed to each project to ensure functional, robust, and well-documented results.
