MECHANICAL PROCESS ENGINEER
● New product design and analysis
● Materials and technology R&D
● Process engineering
Creative, analytical, self motivated, detail oriented mechanical engineer with
extensive experience working within teams, demonstrating ability in product
and process development, and exceeding technical design and development
goals and objectives. Designed products, hermetically and non-hermetically
packaged which are more efficient, higher quality, and less expensive than
their ancestors. Investigated and evaluated high temperature dielectric
materials. Core Competencies include:
● Product development & evaluation
● Product engineering
● Root problem investigation

● Confocal Microscopy
ACHIEVEMENTS
PROCESS ENGINEERING: Efficiently converted raw dielectric tin film materials to a finished
product-capacitor by engineering a sequence of individual processes, and designing,
manufacturing and building prototype products. Prepared and updated specifications for
processes in production. Results: Improved general project schedule by 15% meeting dead
line and in some cases being a head of it.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: Developed hermetically and/or non-hermetically packaged
products for such critical applications as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, AirBus A380 and variety of
customized non-catalogue items by researching designs, materials, and processes to establish
optimal solutions. Calculated design ideals and limitations, and performed risk/feasibility
analysis. Designed items with stringent performance requirements such as high operating
temperature, high thermal transfer, and high energy densityResults: Met requirements and
exceeded customer expectations. Increased yield by 18%.
DESIGN ENGINEERING: Designed manufacturing fixtures, tools and specialized test
equipments which are used to achieve reduction in manufacturing imperfections and improve
dimensional control. Applied 3D modeling using Solidworks and/or ProEngineer to develop
computer model of the hermetically and non-hermetically packaged products. Results:
Improved manufacturing techniques, reduced mechanical / dimensional defects by 80% and
enhanced production efficiency by 40%.
PROGRAM MANAGEMENT: Coordinated and expedited the flow of work and materials within
and between departments of the company according to production schedule by reviewing and
distributing production, work and shipment schedules. Performed “hands on” projects with
responsibilities including reviewing customer drawing requirements and designing components
to meet customer expectations, writing detailed specifications for manufacturing, working with
assembly and test operations to improve techniques, lower cost and improve quality,
supporting request for assistance, providing training when needed and troubleshooting.
Results: Supervised up to 12 people, delivered work on time and being responsible for ~
$50,000.00 to the total weekly sales of final product.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT: Conducted research, developed manufacturing and
characterization of new dielectric technology and materials for high temperature (250oC)
applications, such as Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) and Fluorite Polyester (FPE) capacitors by
running variety of electrical tests at high and room temperature, data recording and analyzing.
Results: Delivered 2 presentations on the DCL and FPE high temperature capacitor design,
development and characterization at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. Worked
closely with AFRL (Air Force Research Laboratory) and NETL (National Energy Technology
Laboratory).
SCIENTIFIC WORK: Researched the phase composition and microstructural characterization of
Sc2O3-CeO2-ZrO2, electrolyte ceramics for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells by
investigating the mechanical properties (fracture toughness, strength, Young’s modulus) and
phase transformation (cubic to rhombohedral) due to the temperature and stress applied.
Results: Published 2 technical papers in Journal of Power Sources and 1 conference
proceedings; delivered presentations at 2 conferences (33rd int. Conf. ACC. Daytona, Jan 09;
MS&T Conf. Pittsburgh, Oct 09).
