Hello, my name is Marcus Onisor. I am a Mechanical Engineering student at UNC Charlotte pursuing a career in the defense field. Throughout this website, I hope to showcase my projects that make me a competitive candidate for employers.
I am a Mechanical Engineering student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, graduating in May 2027, with a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals and hands-on project work in robotics and design. I combine classroom learning with practical experience in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and robot programming to build real-world systems that solve concrete problems. Through roles in audio engineering and robotics leadership, I have developed a balance of technical depth, communication skills, and team leadership.
My core technical skills include 3D CAD modeling in SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Fusion 360, as well as practical 3D printing experience from prototyping and fabrication work. I have programmed FRC robots in Java as the Programming Lead, giving me experience with controls, troubleshooting, and collaborating closely with mechanical and electrical subteams. In addition, several years of managing live sound systems at Bethany Romanian Church have strengthened my understanding of audio signal flow, hardware integration, and on-the-fly problem solving.
As President of the Elemental Dragons FRC Robotics Team, I led the team in designing and building in-house systems instead of relying solely on kit components, encouraging innovation and ownership among members. In this role, I coordinated subteams, set build goals, and helped guide the robot from concept to competition-ready machine within tight timelines. My experience as Programming Lead further honed my ability to communicate across disciplines, mentor peers, and contribute to a collaborative engineering culture.
I am pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering at UNC Charlotte, following completion of an Associate’s Degree in Engineering from Mitchell Community College. This path has given me both a broad engineering background and a focused mechanical curriculum, preparing me for roles in design, manufacturing, or robotics-related fields. I actively look for opportunities to connect coursework with extracurricular projects, particularly in robotics and applied design.
I am fluent in both English and Romanian, which has helped me contribute in bilingual environments such as Bethany Romanian Church in Charlotte. Outside of class, I stay engaged with technology and engineering communities, including interests in advanced manufacturing, robotics, and companies like Anduril Industries and L3Harris. I enjoy roles where I can combine hands-on building, programming, and system-level thinking to create reliable, high-performing solutions.
