Objective:
Steve Graber has 30 years experience in product design and development from commercial and consumer products to aerospace. His products are used today on CAT, Ingersoll Rand, Case Corporation, John Deere, and Vermeer industrial machinery. Home Depot and Wal-Mart sell several of his lighting product designs. Colleges and studio potters across USA and Canada are using his trademarked pottery texture tool distributed through his S corporation, Graber’s Pottery, Inc.
He has assisted many firms with implementing progressive design and manufacturing techniques through effective use of CAD systems, FEA analysis tools, and rapid prototyping methods. His product design simplicity is achieved through a high perception of manufacturing processes and manufacturing concerns in production. His industrial vehicle products are shown to have superior reliability with over one million cycle life such as in patent award # 6,314,832. His many lighting products were produced in a paperless design environment with overseas tooling.
Mr. Graber’s experience does not entail just product design and manufacturing. He has been integral in identifying the initial product need, initial renderings of a product, developed initial & final retail or wholesale pricing, payback analysis’, cash flow analysis’, advertising methods, advertising layout, direct sales, trade show support, and product distribution methods.
Mr. Graber graduated from The College of New Jersey with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. His eclectic background can not be described as simply “another engineer” but as a one man business development group.

CREATIVE
Florescent outdoor lighting fixtures, “dry pipes” for cooling airflow but to also inhibit water penetration, plas-tic “snap” fits. Industrial vehicle joystick grip designs. Lever controls for tractors. Tooling for insertion of roll pin into small solenoid assembly. Geneva mechanism designed into gear train of an escapement as-sembly. Incorporate balanced solenoid into an Arm/Fire device. Custom solenoid design improved pulling force 5 times over LEDEX equivalent size. Designed assembly aids for multiple applications, functional gages to speed inspection, reduced vibration "g" level on electrical component from 120+ to less than 10 g's. Pottery texture tool that can be configured several hundred ways for studio art pottery.
