Catator welcomes Benjamin Alexander as CAD Engineer. With over a decade of experience in mechanical design across industrial and startup environments, Benjamin brings the practical engineering depth that Catator's technically demanding development work requires. His background spans the full product development cycle, from concept and prototyping through to manufacturing documentation and production handover.
In his new role, Benjamin will translate process concepts from Catator's R&D team into detailed, manufacturable designs. He will be responsible for developing assemblies and components and producing manufacturing documentation. Working closely with internal specialists and external manufacturing partners, he will contribute to design reviews and help ensure designs are robust, cost-effective and production-ready.
Benjamin has built his expertise in environments where engineering ownership is broad and development cycles are short. At Ride Awake AB, he took electric watercraft products from concept to manufacture as one of the company's first engineers, while also helping develop PDM and production systems. He has since held mechanical design and technical roles across process industries, consumer products, and defense, with broad responsibility for product development and industrialization. He brings extensive SolidWorks experience, as well as experience in CAD automation from his time at IKEA of Sweden.
“I've spent much of my career developing physical products from early concepts through to manufacture. What attracted me to Catator was the chance to apply that experience to challenging engineering problems in technologies that can play a real role in the energy transition.” says Benjamin.
Benjamin's combination of startup experience, consulting work and hands-on manufacturing knowledge brings a practical engineering mindset to Catator and will support the continued development and industrialisation of Catator's catalyst technologies.
