Eric Jadallah

I'm a design engineer at WedgeTLS, working on the Tyto full-length locking system. I design products and build the test rigs that prove them, both during prototyping and before they're in the world. Before WedgeTLS I worked on validation for the Model 3 battery line at Tesla and took a smart lock to production with Otto.

Each project below is a short write-up of how it was made and what it does. If you want to hear more, ask me.

1. Projects

1. 
   1.1 Deadbolt and Latch Validation WedgeTLS, 2026

   A bench station built to cycle Tyto deadbolts and latches for days. Finds failures on its own by watching the data it produces.

2. 
   1.2 Full System Cycle Test WedgeTLS, 2026

   A two-motor rig that takes a door through its paces, to prove the lock beats the current standard.

3. 
   1.3 Tyto deadbolt WedgeTLS, 2020 to now

   A deadbolt that locks the door to the frame from top to bottom, making the door as strong as a wall.

4. 
   1.4 Otto Lock Otto LLC, co-op, 2016

   Production parts, test fixtures and vendor test lines for a smart lock.

5. 
   1.5 Inline-4 engine Case Western capstone, 2017

   Senior capstone at Case Western, designing an I4 engine from scratch.
