- MYMatthew YatesWith a manufacturing career spanning over three extraordinary decades, I am Matthew Yates, a true artisan of precision engineering. My journey through the manufacturing industry has been a dynamic exploration of diverse roles and unyielding commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. My career commenced as a summer job at Linamar, where I began by cutting off blanks on a saw, sparking my lifelong fascination with the world of manufacturing. From there, I delved into the Tool & Die industry, crafting stamping tools, gauges, and checking fixtures with meticulous precision. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to own my own business, specializing in designing and building hydraulic work holding fixtures. Later, I joined Christie Digital Systems for a remarkable 12-year stint, where I engaged in prototype machining, harnessing the power of a 5-axis Okuma VMC. Presently, I've embarked on an exciting chapter at Rivian Automotive in Plymouth, Michigan, USA, where I prototype a wide array of automotive components on cutting-edge 5-axis DMG equipment. Throughout my career, I've wielded a diverse array of CAD/CAM software, including Keycreator (Cadkey), Solidworks, Mastercam, Powermill, and my current tool of choice, Fusion 360. This software mastery has enabled me to bring intricate designs to life with unmatched precision. Having relocated from Guelph, Ontario, Canada, to Plymouth, Michigan, USA, just over a year ago, I continue to embrace new challenges and opportunities on my manufacturing journey. Beyond my professional pursuits, I find solace and joy in biking through scenic landscapes and channel my creativity into DIY home renovations. As I gaze ahead, I remain driven to push the boundaries of manufacturing innovation. My career has been a testament to my commitment to quality and precision, and I'm eager to continue shaping the future of the industry.
