Jesse Castillo is native of San Jose, CA U.S.A. and still resides in Santa Clara County, sometimes referred to as Silicon Valley.

 
Jesse has attended five junior colleges and has been employed at ten OEMs including FMC, Food Processing Machinery Division in San Jose, CA during the 1970s.

 
FMC, FPM Div. was the epitome of total in-house manufacturing, having its own foundry, fabrication/weld shop, machine shop, electrical shop, pipe shop, polishing shop, shot blast and steam clean areas, two paint shops, and a three-bay assembly shop with four gantry cranes. All on ten+ acres. Back then, the engineering department functioned by means of analog, as digital technology was not yet at the forefront.

 
"I had the privilege to work as an assembly tech upon a product called the Rotary Pressure Sterilizer, or Sterilmatic, that received an accolade by ASME in 1982 as an 'International Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark.'"

 
Jesse has creatively made useful mechanical articles for personal and commercial utilization.

 
"I learned about capital machinery design and manufacturing at FMC, and learned about engineering office logistics at Magnuson Engineers, Inc. in San Jose, CA. Later in the 1990s, at K&R Equipment, Inc. San Jose, CA, I became adept to setting in motion most facets of OEM operations from sale to build to test to shipment.

 
Those three standout companies totaling 22 years have contributed to my understanding of implementing engineering and production methods and standards to elevate a company's business competitiveness."
