PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

CATERPILLAR, Lagrange, GA 2008-2009

Design Engineer - Forest Products Division

Worked with team of engineers designing new Tier 4 emission compliant

tracked forest machines

and log loaders. Contract position.

. Hydraulic system hose routing using Cat SDP-Fluid-Lines.

. Forest machine Stop-To-Fix assembly line responder, PIQ member, Plant CI

first responder.

. Functional skeleton assembly models of boom/stick/bucket motion. For GF

and LL.

PILKINGTON, Toledo, OH 2000-2008

Tooling Design Engineer

Designed tooling for automotive glass bending plants (heated ceramic

windshield tooling, pressbend backwindows, sidelights, sunroofs) using

PRO/E Wildfire.

. Developed design assemblies comprised of non-related existing models to

produce a specific tooling model. Assemblies were used for other tooling

sets to reduce design cycle time.

. Creatively reworked existing models to enable creation of unique features

for complex tooling orders.

. Ordered and tracked special electrical components and materials during

design of each tool set, minimizing lead time.

. Created, produced and delivered plants' production tooling which

performed as designed. Tooling resulted in department receiving customer

commendations for timely, accurate, quality producing, tool sets and also

resulted in more tool orders.

. Reduced cost of glass cutting tools $60 each by replacing outdated

machined parts with common stock parts, which would perform according to

requirements and survive the production environment.
