MDR Engineering is led by Matthew Newman, a PE in mechanical engineering in the state of Nebraska and a PhD specializing in systems design and control. With more than a decade of research, development, and hands‑on engineering experience, Matthew brings a rare blend of analytical depth, practical design intuition, and fast‑turn execution to every project.

Matthew’s background spans advanced laboratory equipment, custom mechatronic subsystems, and full‑cycle product development. He has extensive experience designing components and assemblies for CNC machining, sheet‑metal fabrication, and other production methods, ensuring that every design is optimized for manufacturability, cost, and real‑world performance. His work routinely includes tolerance analysis, GD&T, fixture considerations, and material selection to support efficient and repeatable fabrication.

In addition to mechanical design, Matthew develops custom electronics and embedded hardware, including circuit schematics, PCB layouts, and microcontroller‑based systems. This cross‑disciplinary capability allows him to create tightly integrated mechanical and electromechanical solutions that are both robust and production‑ready.

With a strong foundation in statistical analysis, numerical modeling, and quality engineering — supported by his past certification as a Certified Quality Engineer — Matthew approaches each project with a disciplined, data‑driven mindset. MDR Engineering exists to help clients turn ambitious ideas into reliable, well‑engineered products through thoughtful design, technical rigor, and a commitment to excellence.
