Chris Yahnker

Raleigh, NC | Chicago, IL

My career is focused in product development where I am experienced in bringing a wide range of consumer, industrial, medical, and robotic devices to maket. I have an extensive background in developing and manufacturing complex mechanical and electro-mechanical systems. In addition, I have extensive experience in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermal management, and CFD analysis. I am well versed in project management including project scheduling, risk management, and documentation. My niche is in applying engineering theory to real-world practical applications to quickly identify, quantify, and mitigate risk within the product development cycle. I am different from the typical engineer in that I can use my strong technical background and experience to develop new and creative solutions to complex problems. I have been named on 22 US Patents and have over 20 US Patent applications pending. I have a BSME from North Carolina State University and a Masters of Mechanical Engineering from The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore where I concentrated in Thermo-Fluids. I am a licensed Professional Engineer in Maryland and North Carolina and an ASME certified Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Professional. In the February 5, 2009 issue of Machine Design Magazine (www.machinedesign.com), I wrote the Vantage Point - "Product Innovation Involves More than Product Cost" article on page 49.
