CAREER-RELATED EXPERIENCE
2006 – Present Mechanical Designer/Project Coordinator
Macro Moules PSK Inc., Candiac, Quebec
• Read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, schematics, and computer-generated reports
• Confer with engineers and other personnel to implement operating procedures, resolve system
malfunctions, and provide technical information
• Research and analyze customer design proposals, specifications, manuals, and other data to
evaluate the feasibility, cost, and maintenance requirements of designs or applications
• Specify system components or direct modification of products to ensure conformance with
engineering design and performance specifications
• Research, design, evaluate, install, operate, and maintain mechanical products, equipment, systems
and processes to meet requirements, applying knowledge of engineering principles
• Assist drafters in developing the structural design of products, using drafting tools or computer-
assisted design/drafting equipment and software
• Provide feedback to design engineers on customer problems and needs
• Oversee installation, operation, and maintenance to ensure that machines and equipment are
installed and functioning according to specifications
• Conduct research that tests and analyzes the feasibility, design, operation and performance of
equipment, components and systems
• Recommend design modifications to eliminate machine or system malfunctions
• Develop and test models of alternate designs and processing methods to assess feasibility,
operating condition effects, possible new applications and necessity of modification
• Develop, coordinate, and monitor all aspects of production, including selection of manufacturing
methods, fabrication, and operation of product designs
• Estimate costs and submit bids for engineering, construction, or extraction projects
• Perform personnel functions, such as supervision of production workers, technicians, technologists
and other engineers, and design of evaluation programs
• Provide technical customer service
• Establish and coordinate the maintenance and safety procedures, service schedule, and supply of
materials required to maintain machines and equipment in the prescribed condition
• W rite performance requirements for product development or engineering projects
• Apply engineering principles and practices to emerging fields, such as robotics, waste management
• Manage multiple projects with multiple deadlines ensuring high quality of execution and delivery
• Review own work thoroughly before submitting to senior management
• Manage a team of resources for various engineering sub projects
• Establish engineering schedule for projects and managing / controlling schedule to ensure delivery
on time
• Collaborate with Plan Managers and Junior Designers
• Process ECN (Engineering Change Notice), and set up / update BOMs
• Prepare Bills of Materials (BOM) to reflect build sequence
Achievements:
• Implemented the use of specialized software to calculate the optimal gate location, which resulted in
time and money savings for the company.
• Suggested the creation of standard basic designs for popular products which prevented the need to
create similar designs each time, thereby increasing productivity.
• Promoted new techniques due to a high degree of professionalism and ease in learning, thereby
increasing efficiency.
• Implemented Kinematic Simulations which can show a wide variety of design issues that may
occur before the manufacturing process. Kinematics can be used to study issues such as: tool
functionality verification, dynamic clearance checking, assembly process simulation, serviceability.
