Patrick Rogers is a Mechanical Engineer at Midé Technology specializing in structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using ANSYS. His experience ranges from small-scale component simulations to large, multi-thousand-pound systems. Patrick focuses on bridging simulation and real-world performance, validating models through hands-on laboratory testing. He has worked across many of Midé’s product lines, with particular emphasis on new marine technologies and system development. In addition to advanced analysis, Patrick enjoys designing innovative systems that incorporate smart materials such as NiTiNOL, helping expand Midé’s technical capabilities. Outside the lab, Patrick spends as much time outdoors as possible—camping and kayaking in the summer, and heading north for snow-filled weekends in the winter.
