October 18, 2018

Meridian recently welcomed two leaders to its engineering and production teams. Eric Frank will serve as Meridian's new engineering manager and Ricardo Sotomayor will serve as production manager. Together, they bring more than 30 years of experience in design and engineering.
 
Frank has spent the past 10 years with Micrometl Corporation as both a design engineer and engineering manager. He is certified in SolidWorks — with advanced specialties in sheet metal, drawing and surfacing — AutoCad and lean manufacturing. As engineering manager, Frank will be responsible for leading the engineering and design team and collaborating with sales, manufacturing and quality assurance to create new designs and improve upon existing ones.

Sotomayor has spent 12 years in renewable solutions engineering, including seven years with Hewlett Packard, where he carried numerous titles, including tooling engineer, manufacturing engineer and process engineer. Sotomayor also holds certifications in SolidWorks, AutoCad and Lean Six-Sigma troubleshooting methodologies. As production manager, Sotomayor's main focus will be on optimizing processes and efficiencies in manufacturing. 
 
In addition to onboarding Frank and Sotomayor, Meridian's senior project manager, Amanda Jordan, was promoted to operations director. In her new role, Jordan will be responsible for driving processes and procedures to deliver quality products on time.
