Daniel Ornelas

I’m a bilingual Mechanical Design Engineer with experience in both mechanical and plumbing system design. I hold a Six Sigma Black Belt, OSHA 30 DOL Card, and professional certifications in Project Management (Microsoft & Google) and I’m currently earning my Master’s in Mechanical Engineering at Mississippi State University. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Sacramento State.

At Iron Mechanical, I handle projects — doing load, ventilation, and water flow calculations, sizing louvers and grilles, selecting HVAC and plumbing equipment, and working through city plan check comments. I work with other trades to make sure designs are efficient, meet code, and are ready for construction.

In Sacramento State, I designed and manufactured a vertical-axis wind turbine with an integrated air quality sensor as part of my senior project, demonstrating my commitment to sustainable and impactful engineering solutions. I’ve also earned multiple associate degrees in different engineering fields, which helps me look at problems from different angles.

As a first-generation college graduate and member of MESA and SHPE, I value teamwork, learning, and working on projects that make a difference.I’m a bilingual Mechanical Design Engineer with experience in both mechanical and plumbing system design.
