Sam Hoffman, Mechanical Engineer

I'm a mechanical engineer based in Chattanooga, TN. I hold an MS and BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alabama and spent over a decade in industry at Astec Industries, Michelin, WestRock, Lear Corporation, and Daimler AG before starting Hoffman Engineering LLC.

Today I do mechanical design: sheet metal, weldments, CAD, and prototyping. Most of my clients are within an hour of Chattanooga.

Background

  • MS & BS, Mechanical Engineering — University of Alabama
  • 6+ years in industry
  • Based in Chattanooga, TN

How I Work

Every design goes through three passes

Function, form, then finesse. Does it do the job, can your shop build it, and is it right.
