Objective: Engineering position in NW Ohio or SE Michigan
Summary of Qualifications:
Mechanical Engineer with five years of product design experience.
Responsible for product through initial design phase, prototype build,
testing, manufacturing and outside supplier qualification process.
Experienced with 2D and 3D CAD software along with FEA and CFD modeling.
2009-present maternity break
Experience: Federal Mogul Corporation -Toledo, Ohio
Product Design Engineer, 2003 - 2008
. Conducted FEA modeling at Toledo site. Created 3D tooling or product
geometry in Pro/Engineer and modeled stress concentrations and
electric fields using ANSYS. Modeled spark plug ceramic stress during
assembly to determine cause of insulator fracture. Modeled electrical
fields generated by different spark plug electrode designs to
determine regions that are vulnerable to voltage punctures.
. Developed 14mm and 18mm spark plug designs to meet customer needs. I
was involved with the product from initial design through the
prototype build, test phase, manufacturing and outside supplier
qualification process.
. Worked with customers to address performance and technical issues.
. Developed process specifications to bring new spark plug designs to
production. Modified existing process specifications that were
obsolete. I have been involved with industrial glass seal, laser weld,
metallographic examination, ground electrode annealing and ceramic
inspection process development.
Experience: The Ohio State University- Columbus, Ohio
Research Assistant, 2001-2002
. Researched causes of aerodynamic drag on current heavy-duty trailer
trucks. Used Large-Eddy Simulation CFD method to study the
aerodynamics of the cab trailer gap.
. Created computer visualization program, which displayed velocity
vectors for the top, side, and front views of the truck.
. Created computer program that calculated the instantaneous and average
drag for all CFD cases.
Experience: General Motors Powertrain -Toledo, Ohio
Process Engineering Intern, Summer 2000
. Performed machine troubleshooting
. Contributed to Hess straightener qualification process. Studied the
runnout as well as the location of maximum runnout on turbine shafts,
starting with the blanks from the supplier, then following the shafts
through intermediate processes and finally finishing with the
completed part as it left the Hess straightener. Found that high
runnout blanks did not necessary result in high runnout finished parts
after straightening. Study forced Hess to modify their straightener
design
. Contributed to project to eliminate thermal deburring process.
Determined left-handed drills along with increased oil pressure
significantly reduced the size of burrs located in a turbine shaft.
. Performed oversized gundrill hole study. Followed turbine shafts with
gundrill holes through final transmission assembly. Found that the
loose tolerances allowed on the ball bearings were causing the tight
tolerance on the gundrill holes. On further study, and discussion with
the ball bearing supplier it was found that the tolerance on the ball
bearings was too high.
