I have 30 years of experience i n the Engineering field. I have experience with Solidworks, Pro-E and
other design drafting software. I have assisted in the design and building of Power Generators and Controls
for emergency power for hospitals, telephone company switching stations, grocery stores and other
commercial needs. I have also worked with Government Projects such as Ground Launch Cruise Missile
power systems, USS George H. W. Bush Aircraft Carrier electric motor driven door actuators and the
Bar r icade Stanchion Actuator.
Although the Predator Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) was already designed, I helped in the revisions of the
d rawings. I have experience in the processing of change controls through Engineering Change Requests
(ECR) and Engineering Change Orders (ECO). I checked and approved drawings to be uploaded into PLM
(Product Lifecycle Management) systems, as well as created workflows for drawing reviews.
