Hello,
Please consider my attached resume for your listed position. I have a strong work tenure in performing this work and bring many years of training along with an interest in developing new skills. I would enjoy pursuing this opportunity to the next level and have a range of experience in the areas listed here and on my resume.
I have over 7 years of mechanical design, redesign and design upgrade development. The 10 years of drafting experience I bring provides any drafting needed for the majority of design efforts. I deliver both experience & understanding in manufacturing/building utility/process & control systems for many industrial facilities and product development. I have developed a depth of ability in GD&T, tolerance analysis & ECO processes within AutoCAD, SolidWorks & ProEngineer platforms. My hands-on approach includes both team-oriented and cross-functional experience. My troubleshooting efforts have benefited from direct experience in special projects development, manufacturing, situational analysis, statistical process control and first unit implementations.
I bring both a depth and a wide range in technical understanding anchored in engineering and scientific principles. Many have complemented an ability of mine to clearly write methods, test plans and explanations emphasizing mechanical system design and testing. I offer over 3 years of experience with cGMP engineering and instrumentation with pharmaceutical & biotech. Adept in logical problem-solving skills & identifying optimal designs for a customer’s specific needs. Experienced with developing and updating Process Flow Diagrams, Piping Instrumentation Diagrams and Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID).
The computer aided drafting experience includes using AutoCAD 2015 and previous versions thru AutoCAD12. The 3D modeling experience includes use of both Solidworks & ProEngineer. The statistical and mathematical modeling experience is through use of MATLAB, Minitab & unique Excel/Visual Basic SPC analytical methods. I have developed and updated System-level SCADA designs for process equipment & instrumentation. I have Clean Room and Facilities experience. My medical/Bio-Pharm experience includes Change Control scoped modifications of Validated and Non-Validated processes. I offer experience with industrial Driers, industrial machinery (Mills, welders, etc.) and PTFE bonders.
I bring support experience in the engineering, design and commissioning realms of manufacturing equipment. I have worked with both validated and non-validated systems. I have generated and maintained Validation Documents for testing and commissioning. The industrial networks experience adds use of DH+/RS232/Ethernet. I have current proficiencies in office software like MS Word, Excel, Power Point & Access. Promising no hesitation in reply to your earliest contact. Looking forward to speaking with you.
Thank you,
Dan La Rochelle
