PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

A versatile, innovative professional with extensive experience in

Automotive and Aerospace Mechanical Engineering. Major strengths include

ANSYS and Mechanica stress analysis, ProEngineer and Solidworks CAD

modeling, designing for plastics, plastics mold specification and

computational fluid dynamics analysis. Additional skills acquired are in

project management, sheet metal part design, manufacturing process

improvement, testing, cost analysis and computer programming and problem

solving. A results-oriented, creative individual who communicates

effectively with all levels of management, cooperatively interacting with

the customer, marketing, manufacturing and test departments.

CAREER HISTORY

ROLLS-ROYCE AIRCRAFT ENGINES - Indianapolis, Indiana 2010 - Present

Senior Project Engineer

. Design and analysis of turboshaft gas turbine engine components for

testing and production.

BORGWARNER THERMAL SYSTEMS - Marshall, Michigan 1993 - 2009

A product leader in highly engineered components and systems for vehicle

powertrain applications in engines, automatic transmissions, systems

solutions.

Senior Design Engineer

A product technology leader creating the aerodynamic and mechanical

design, development and testing of polymer cooling fans, stators and

shrouds.

. Awarded a commendation for designing an asymmetric blade spaced fan and

stator with improved performance under severe time constraints to

satisfy amended customer requirements.

. Saved a secondary production operation by designing a new integral

balance correction method culminating in a 7 percent cost reduction.

. Completed light and heavy truck and HVAC fan mechanical designs,

prototype components development and testing definitions extending from

concepts for performance through the documentation and production

release processes.

. Designed, tested and production released injection molded rotating

components requiring program planning, molding processing, DFMEA/PFMEA

documentations, cost estimations, 8D problem analyses and sheet metal

designs and processes for draw die production tooling.

. Created blading design concepts for aerodynamic, finite element,

resonant frequency response, transient and steady state thermal, fatigue

life analyses and manufacture of performance prototypes to support

product designs for final reviews and proof of concept validation

testing.

. Analyzed the thermodynamic system heat transfer requirements of heating,

ventilating and air conditioning system components to define the

specification and design of a low noise cooling fan and airflow control

structures.
