Hi, my name is Max Gualtieri, and I’m an engineer and designer from Washington, D.C. Ever since I was 6 years old messing around in my grandpa's workshop, I’ve known that I love to create. From building with Legos to competing with my high school robotics team, and ultimately studying engineering at Northwestern, my passion for engineering has been lifelong.
I’m currently pursuing a mechanical engineering degree, along with the Segal Design Certificate, which has deepened my understanding of user-centered design and manufacturing processes. Outside the classroom, I contribute as a part designer for the Northwestern Formula Racing Team, where I’ve gained hands-on experience managing design projects from concept to completion.
Professionally, I’ve built my skills through roles at Stellantis, GLOS, and research work at the American University. These experiences taught me more than technical proficiency; they instilled the importance of meeting deadlines, collaborating with teams, and incorporating client feedback.
