Jacob Corder

Jacob’s storied career began as a mechanic for F-15 fighter jets in Alaska, where he served his country for four years. Afterward he worked as a product designer and CAD technician in the years leading up to his graduation from Hennepin Technical College, where he studied fluid power engineering. His exposure to the SOLIDWORKS API occurred during his next job as a hydraulic system designer. His prolific and innovative use of it led to his appointment as a full-time software developer, where he wrote possibly the most complex SOLIDWORKS addin known to man, totaling over half a million lines of code. In late 2019 he joined CADSharp as our first full-time Onshape developer. He currently lives with his wife and daughter in Minnesota, where he enjoys remodeling his house, staring longingly across the Canadian border, and tinkering with his remote-controlled lawn mower.
