With more than twenty years of experience in multifaceted engineering environments, Dwight Brooks' diverse experience includes the design of turbofan jet engines, 20,000 square foot fabric tension structures and consumer/industrial electronic products. He has expertise in all phases of product development, from concept through full-scale production with responsibilities related to Industrial Design, Sales/Marketing Support, Functional Specification, Project Scheduling, Budgeting, CAD Design, Computer Analysis, Procurement, Environmental Testing, Certification and Manufacturing Support.

Dwight authored nine patents over 11 years while working for Motorola. As lead Mechanical Staff Development Engineer, Dwight and his team developed the core pager product that became Motorola's largest seller. Competing in the normally closed Japanese market, his product group utilized and perfected techniques including Design for Assembly, Design for Manufacturability, Six Sigma Design, Quality Control and Early Supplier Involvement. Dwight became the in-house expert on design tools including ComputerVision, Unigraphics and ProENGINEER and integrated early prototyping processes in Stereolithography and part sintering. His contributions were instrumental in bridging the gap between Industrial Design and Product Design by creating techniques that allowed for a smooth and accurate transition from artistic 2D concept to 3D solid model. While developing numerous paging products, he also gained expertise in waterproofing techniques and ruggedization.

After leaving Motorola, Dwight became a consulting engineer and eventually VP, Mechanical Engineering for a communications company formed to develop a family of GPS and cellular technology personal security products. A total of five products were developed; three for the AMPS communication network and two for digital networks. The product applications included asset tracking, hand held personal security and vehicle mounted telematics.

As a Consulting Engineer and President of Brooks Technical Solutions, Inc., Dwight has worked on a variety of consumer and industrial products including a refrigerant reclamation machine that was recognized as being a unique approach for improved airflow, handling and cord storage as well as a distinctive product appearance. Other products include a pet toy, Personal Digital Assistant, a medical device, unmanned drone submarine, Freon gas detector and a small personal security device all designed using Solidworks. Most of the products continue to be produced and are in service today.
