OBJECTIVE

To secure an Mechanical Design Engineer position with a progressive manufacturing company.

CORE STRENGTHS

Solid Mechanical Engineering Professional with extensive Design, Development, and Analysis

experience. This has included the design and development of dust collection systems, radiant fusers,

pumps, fans, valves, catalyst beds, heat exchangers, temperature sensing equipment and devices,

and rotary separators. Also performed trade studies while coordinating activities between different

functional groups, and acting as a technical interface with several different customers and vendors.

Specific areas of expertise include the design of all types of dynamic machinery and mechanisms

including the design and analysis of bearings, springs, gears, cams, and diaphragms. Other strengths

include failure analysis, all types of structural analysis such as, deformation, load stress, thermal,

stress and rotational stress as well as performance analysis. Ive used Creo Elements Pro (Pro-

Engineer), Mechanica, AutoCad Inventor, ANSYS, and most recently, SolidWorks. While at Hamilton

Sundstrand my inimitable attention to detail led to the position of Principle Designer on several major

design projects. My position at Parker Hannifin Corporation, Fluid Control Division saw me transition

into Project Management while maintaining the bulk of my core Development Engineering

responsibilities.

My most recent position at Temp-Pro Inc as Product Development Engineer / Engineering Manager

allowed me control of the projects including more control of the scheduling.
