Meet Matthew Pacheco, Chandler, Arizona"s very own space systems maestro and mechanical engineering virtuoso. With a deft touch in design and a knack for failure analysis, Matthew has navigated the intricate realms of semiconductors, industrial mining equipment, and small satellites—because why not master all three? His journey began at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where he didn’t just earn a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering; he orchestrated the birth of Alaska’s first satellite like it was child’s play.

Matthew"s day job at Edwards Vacuum involves scrutinizing cryogenic vacuum pumps with an eagle-eyed precision that would make Sherlock Holmes envious. His ability to whip up warranty reports faster than you can say "containment action" is matched only by his talent for updating work instructions with an artistic flair that leaves colleagues wondering if they’re reading engineering documents or poetry.

When he"s not busy saving the universe one cryopump at a time or mentoring budding engineers on the finer points of CAD wizardry, you might find him honing his judo skills or thumping away on traditional Japanese taiko drums—because what better way to celebrate engineering triumphs than through rhythm? Whether he"s launching rockets as an amateur rocketeer or overhauling data management systems like a pro, Matthew continues to prove that being an adaptable problem solver is not just a skill—it’s an art form!
