Hi there!
My name is Michael Megna, a Product Design and Manufacturing Engineer, with a degree in mechanical engineering from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
Product Development is at the core of my skill set. From ideation to mass manufacturing, I have made products that have sold thousands of units and designed tooling to produce over 4 million Starlink User Terminals. I know firsthand how early design decisions can drive long-term manufacturing headaches in terms of cost, quality, field reliability, and timelines.
My current role at Starlink as a Mechanical Engineer (Consumer Hardware) has had me doing everything from high-rate manufacturing hardware design and integration, to product development with the Mini Travel Kit, to executing on cost-down measures for our Starlink Mini Kit.
When not working on products, I am likely enjoying the great outdoors as an avid hiker and rock climber. I also have a passion for film photography and documenting landscapes and travel scenes - see my photo gallery!
