AtlasIED has grown its engineering team with the addition of Kim Porter to serve as Director of Mechanical Engineering, reporting to VP of Engineering, Simon Broadley.
With more than 20 years’ experience in mechanical engineering, product design and leadership, Porter will be responsible for creating and managing new product conceptualisation. She will be instrumental in leading AtlasIED’s mechanical engineering team as they focus on new product development.
‘I’ve known Kim for a number of years, and she is one of the finest engineers I’ve worked with in my career,’ Broadley says. ‘She has deep experience in the overall product process and knows what it takes to take new products from conception to development to delivery. She is an exceptional talent, and we look forward to her leadership in helping us advance and grow our product portfolio.’
In addition to working in commercial audio, Porter has designed and led engineering for hundreds of products and earned more than 25 patents during her career. She founded the product engineering consulting firm HatchOne, where she executed more 50 product development programmes for a variety of companies that needed engineering expertise.
Porter has also served as Advanced Product Engineer for a small team of NIKE top product creators charged with pioneering new processes, materials and technologies for future product use. She began her career at ILC Dover as a Mechanical and Project Engineer, where she designed concepts for the next generation Shuttle Space Suit gloves.
‘AtlasIED has an incredible roadmap of new products that will address customer challenges such as creating more enjoyable experiences and improving safety,’ Porter says. ‘I look forward to helping design and bring these products to market.’
