Meet Yelena, our newest team member

/in /by

Every once in a while, we’re graced with a new team member at RADIATE who not only brings a fresh perspective but also an electrifying energy that resonates with everyone. Enter Yelena, our new student employee with a fascinating blend of theoretical knowledge and a penchant for hands-on experience.

Yelena’s journey with us is as unconventional as her vibrant personality. Before joining our team, she pursued her Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering at the ETH Zurich. It was there that she played a pivotal role in the “Swissloop” Hyperloop student team. Interestingly, she first became acquainted with RADIATE while delivering a fruit basket to our workshop as a Bike Messenger for “Öpfelchasper”.

We’re thrilled to have Yelena onboard!

Cost- and time efficient design finalization and prototype production for Positrigo AG

/in /by

The technology from Positrigo AG offers precision medicine and makes functional imaging accessible for people worldwide. Radiate Engineering & Design developed and produced prototypes of a headrest for the NeuroLF seat, an ultra-compact brain Positron Emission Tomography system.

The collaboration with Positrigo included the following work packages:

  • Design Space Exploration: Evaluation of the existing components and technical requirements as well as the possible material/geometry combinations.
  • Structural Design and Dimensioning in Detail: Design of structurally loaded complex components using FEM as well as sensible materials and process selection.
  • Design Finalization and Prototype Production: Development of a cost- and time-efficient prototype strategy, including production planning and monitoring of prototype production.

Thanks to the cooperation with Positrigo and a huge team effort, the fast improvement, finalization and prototype production was made possible.

Welcome Martina, our newest team member

Sustainable Growth: our Path for Radiate Engineering & Design

/in /by

In today’s rapidly evolving world, the role of engineering and design has become more crucial than ever. As professionals in these fields, we have the power to shape the future and make a positive impact on society. But how we approach growth matters greatly.

For us, growth at all costs is no measure of success for a company.

Instead, at Radiate Engineering & Design we focus on “healthy” or sustainable growth, and for good reason.

It ensures that we achieve our goals while not over-pacing and nurturing knowledge and (human) resources.

You can read more about our “growth” philosophy in this portrait from Valiant Bank AG.
