Dave Eames

Dave Eames is an Associate Manufacturing Solutions Researcher specializing in additive manufacturing and metrological inspection at OMIC R&D. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Portland State University and an Associate of Science in Baking and Restaurant Management from the Oregon Culinary Institute.

Before joining the world of advanced manufacturing, Dave served for six years as a Nuclear Electrician aboard the fast attack submarine USS Columbus (SSN 762). Following his military service, he pursued a creative path in the culinary arts, working his way from bartender and line cook to Director of Manufacturing for a national ice cream brand. This background has shaped Dave’s hands on, inventive approach to research and development.

Outside of work, Dave is a proud father of two and husband to, in his words, “the most incredible person I have ever known.” He is an avid hand tool woodworker, with a personal mission to replace every piece of store-bought furniture in his home with handcrafted items of his own design.
