CAREER SUMMARY
I have thirteen years experience as a mechanical designer designing products from concept to full production documents. My experience includes high volume production runs and low volume product cycles, prototyping, calibration and test fixtures. I have experience working with sheetmetal, plastics and metal machining, injection molding, weldments, EMI and RF shielding, thermal and cooling dynamics, and hands-on machine shop skills. I have experience making presentations before peer design review boards, customer and board presentations. I interface well with vendors and suppliers. I possess good verbal and written communication skills. I work well within a team and I manage my time well enough to make my schedules. My work ethic has enabled me to provide reliable, well-thought-out designs, on time and with minimal debugging cycles that meet the customer’s requirements and expectations.
