SUMMARY

Mechanical engineer with extensive experience in mechanical problem

solving, and troubleshooting. History of production improvement and

component design.

KEY COMPETENCIES

Innovative Problem Solving

-Designed and implemented parts flow contamination detection assemblies

reducing unplanned

downtime 90%.

- Trouble shot problems with mechanical systems from verbal and written

descriptions for both

domestic and foreign customers.

-Developed on average one slightly modified product per week, and one

specialized product per

month.

Hands On Mechanical Skills

-Experienced in mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and vision

system troubleshooting,

repair, and modification.

-Routinely repaired assembly line equipment if maintenance personal

couldn't figure out

problem, or were unavailable.

- Hobbies of car repair/restoration, and home repair/remodeling.

Detail Oriented

-Conducted cycle time, and machine speed study, finding several incorrectly

adjusted machine

speeds, and incorrect operating practices.

-Noted material feed unit was causing real-time flow rate inconsistencies

and found low cost

solution to problem.

-In review of a ready to be released product, noted that a design flaw

would cause difficult

disassembly, provided inexpensive solution.

-Determined that assembly lines were operating at 30% less capacity than

expected.

Communication

-Communicated with customers as primary duty, and accurately recorded for

future reference.

-Routinely oversaw, and coordinated projects between customers, design, and

manufacturing.

-Communicated with tool vendors on any technical issues.

-Created detailed equipment repair manuals for maintenance personnel, and

machine operators.

-Experienced in 2D and 3D CAD modeling using AutoCAD, Pro/E, KeyCreator,

and

SolidWorks software.

-Proficient in MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

Analytical

-Initiated changes to several standard departmental formulas.

-Determined during initial design stages that promising fluid delivery

component would not

develop sufficient pressure, saving several weeks of design time.

-Performed engineering analysis for spray applications including high

temperature gas

cooling/conditioning, psychrometrics, spray distribution and atomization

requirements.

EXPERIENCE

Manufacturing Engineer, U.S. Tsubaki, Chicopee, MA. February 2006 -

January 2009.

Tier 1 automotive supplier providing valve timing component to GM, Ford,
