INDUSTRY

EXPERIENCE Sensata Technologies, Attleboro, MA; Aug. 2012- present

Senior Design Engineer, Responsible for all aspects of Eddy

Current Speed Sensors for automotive and heavy engine

industry application. This includes mechanical design,

analysis, BOM, authorizing purchased parts, build and

testing. Direct contact with engineering staff at customer

sites, weekly status reports, utilizes SolidWorks 2013

CAD/CAE system to create solid models to design and analyze

sensor components and interaction with engine environment.

Develops processes and process specs for thin magnetic wire

winding on bobbins, high temperature plastic molding (PEEK,

LCP, Extem), welding for high temperature applications, heat

staking plastic components, program of microprocessors for

embedded system. Responsible for all aspects of sample

builds and managing the sample build line. DVP&R for

prototype parts. ECOs, DFMEA, PFMEA, FA. Coordinating

activities with make sites in China and Mexico. Creates

detailed manufacturing and assembly drawings IAW ANSY Y 14.5

and utilizes GD&T extensively to ensure part fit and function

and interchangeability.

SEACORP, Middletown, RI; Feb. 2009- Aug. 2012

Lead Mechanical Engineer, Responsible for all aspects of new

product development for underwater launcher systems. This

includes mechanical design, analysis, BOM, authorizing

purchased parts, build and testing. On a daily basis,

utilizes SolidWorks 2011 CAD/CAE system to create solid

models to assist in the design and analysis of mechanical

components as well as electrical packaging. Creates detailed

manufacturing and assembly drawings. Analyzes assembly

kinematics for various articulating mechanisms in mechanical

assemblies. Also, as task manager, has complete oversight of

electrical design, embedded software and completed system

validation testing. Responsible for generating project POA&M

and adherence to milestones and budget. Generates test plans

and test reports, proposals, and customer updates.

EATON Corp., Warwick, RI; Sept. 1997- Feb 2009

Engineering Manager, Responsible for sustaining engineering,

NPD, test lab, met lab, tooling department and design

documentation control departments. Oversaw $4M+ engineering

budget of which 25% was for NPD. Managed design,

development, and testing of dynamic seals and welded metal

bellows devices. Dynamic seals included brush seals; bellows

face seals; radial carbon seals; and axial carbon seals for

aerospace, DOD, NASA, power gen., and electronic industry

applications. Prior to promotion to Engineering Manager

position was NPD manager for 4 years and prior to that senior

design engineer. Utilized Pro/E to create models of

mechanical seals for fitment analysis and for generating

manufacturing drawings and method sheets IAW ANSI Y 14.5, as

well as importing models into ANSYS FEA software for

mechanical and thermal load analysis and optimization.

Routinely utilized GD&T for tolerance stack up analysis and

to ensure part fit and function. Regularly interacted with

customers to determine performance requirements, provide

project status updates, and review test results. Traveled

extensively in the US and overseas. Completed six sigma

training and is a certified green belt.

Analysis and Technology, Inc., Middletown, RI; Sept. 1991-Sept. 1997

Mechanical Engineer, Performed mechanical design and analysis

of components for implementation into submarine and surface

ship systems and their ancillary equipment. This included

electronic enclosures, hydraulic and pneumatic systems,

propulsion systems and mechanical systems. Routinely

performed tolerance stack up analysis (GD&T) IAW ANSI Y 14.5

on new designs and existing designs for troubleshooting NAVY

field issues. Coordinated projects with other mechanical

engineers, electrical engineers and design staff and

participated as a member of project teams. Produced

engineering portions of proposal packages for government

contracts. Coordinated manufacturing projects with machine

shops and other vendors.

Ocean Technology, Inc., Middletown, RI; June 1985- May 1991

Mechanical Engineer, Performed mechanical design/analysis and

electro-mechanical design for Navy electronic and mechanical

systems. Regularly attended engineering design technology

seminars to adapt and recommend new design technologies to

current tasks and projects. Participated in recommendation

and purchase of in-house CADDS system. Supervised CAD

department. Instituted format procedure for generating and

storing CAD data. Contributed ideas and narrative to proposal

team for government contracts. Produced technical manuals for

Navy personnel operation of equipment and inspection

procedures.
