At Winkle, our strength comes from the people behind the work and weβre proud to introduce Kevin Tripp, our Engineering Manager.
Kevin joined Winkle in late 2025, bringing with him over 30 years of experience across the electric motor, transformer, breaker, and magnet industries. His career path is anything but typicalβstarting as a machinist, advancing into mechanical engineering, and eventually leading operations as a general manager. Along the way, heβs built deep expertise in design, process engineering, and fabrication, while also sharing his knowledge as an instructor in machining and CAD technologies.
What drives Kevin today? Tackling challenges head-on and working alongside the talented teams across engineering, the office, and the shop floor. Heβs passionate about solving problems and making a positive impactβalways aiming to make the work a little easier and more enjoyable for those around him.
Known for his easygoing personality and natural ability to connect with others, Kevin brings both technical expertise and a strong team spirit to Winkle.
Outside of work, youβll likely find him spending time with his grandchildren, enjoying live music, or cruising in his 1977 Corvette.
Weβre glad to have you on board!
