Wilson Raposo is an Applications Engineers with RISA and started with the company in June 2021. Wilson holds a BS in Civil Engineering from Cornell University and prior to joining RISA, spent over 3 years working for McLaren Engineering Group in New York City focused on design and renovation projects within the government, retail and multi-family segments.
Since joining RISA, Wilson's work as an Applications Engineer has been focused in a product management and customer support. Working in support has been extremely fulfilling and has put him in a position where he can answer questions for people and immediately make an impact on their day. That type of instant impact is generally not found in engineering and makes the day to day work exciting and more gratifying.
While at work, Wilson relies on coffee, snacks and the occasional instrumental track to keep him focused. When he is not at the office you can typically find him down at the beach where he enjoys checking out the sunsets.
