WDI R&D profile

Verified live Disney lead: Principal Ride Development Engineer, Walt Disney Imagineering, Glendale. The destination page returned HTTP 200 on Jun 25, 2026, 9:15 AM ET. This is a lead only, not an application, referral, relationship, or hiring claim.

• Active lead: Disney job ID 10134485, posted Jun 23, 2026.
• Mechanical SME review for ride-engineering design intent, safety, reliability, efficiency, standards, and compliance.
• Advanced statics, dynamics, kinematics, stress, fatigue, machine design, FEA/CAD, design sensibility, and prototype/development work.
• Expired reference: Disney job ID 10146734 now returns Job Not Found; keep it only as a role-shape reference.

Supported shape: Glendale mechanical Imagineering search lane. North-star profile: Principal R&D Imagineer. Principal-scope work remains unverified.

• Verified current state: one active Disney lead passes clicked-destination verification; R&D principal scope remains unverified.
• Strongest current work: Sarrus gives mechanism geometry, pneumatic actuation, modular assembly, measured behavior, build state, and human-facing physical motion.
• Current ownership gap: the active next signal is a first measurable FluxCell linkage test.
• Principal scope not verified: led design reviews, technical direction owned, integrated systems, collaborators coordinated, budget or schedule ownership, or comparable principal-scope outcomes.

Core technical work: Sarrus programmable soft robotic surfaces and bodies. Public record: sarrus.aolabs.io. FluxCell is the current ownership signal because the current source now points to a first measurable linkage build.

• Sarrus record: geometry, compliant link and flexural-joint path, pressure-driven expansion, constraint/bias, and module assembly.
• Measurement table: pressure range, expansion ratio, leg angle, force, stiffness, hysteresis status, dome height, double-dome resolution, and iteration boundary.
• Visual record: linkage geometry, module parts, module biasing, pressure-dependent force/stiffness figures, and object-manipulation motion.
• Current data boundary: digitized force, stiffness, and hysteresis curves with uncertainty and test conditions are still not public in this profile.

WDI read: programmable shape and motion; object behavior; repeatable physical interaction.

• Readable physical state change: surfaces and bodies bend, expand, wave, roll, crawl, or manipulate objects.
• Mechanism credibility: motion comes from a visible cell architecture and actuation path, not only video editing or styling.
• Interaction translation: one motion sequence connected to a human-facing effect.
