Work History

JohnsonControls, Milwaukee,WI Detail Drafter Aug 2016-Present

Authors and revises drawings and prepares change orders, investigates change requests, resolves shop problems, and proposes redesigns to improve performance or reduce costs. Prepares drawings of detail parts, assemblies, bills of material, and specifications from data furnished or developed from layouts, or ideas which conform to established standards and procedures. Makes necessary calculations to establish acceptable standards of performance, selection of materials, hardware, and type of construction. Assures that design features, dimensions, tolerances, and allowances conform to functional and manufacturing requirements. Checks layouts, sketches, calculations, and formal drawing documentation of those assigned, for accuracy, completeness and standards. Other tasks could include analyzing factory returns, PTS/document reformatting, cost tracking, drawing cleanup Performs related duties as assigned.

STS Technical Services, Brookfeild,WI-Project Designer/ Detail Drafter Sept 2015-April 2016

Participated with colleagues and clients (Evoqua,Harley-Davidson)to design parts and or complete mechanical frames in enclosed assemblies from base design in both 3D Solidworks and Pro-E environments, created detailed 3D models and BOM’s for the 3D model, as well as checked for proper mechanical clearances and placements of components per company standards. Edit existing mechanical parts drawings from again 3D Solidworks and Pro-E models. Occasionally checks actual parts to drawings to verify part is to print, created assemblies and assembly drawings from Solidworks 3D models and Pro-E. Other duties pertaining to mechanical design delivered as needed.

Harley-Davidson/ Enterforce, Milwaukee, WI-Project Designer (Intern) Jan 2015 -Sept 2015

Collaborate with cross-functional Stakeholders to design/ develop and deliver vehicle components to production, Deliver optimal designs while adhering to project targets, performance objectives, high quality, and cost minimization, utilize engineering tools such as CAD models and drawings, as well as predictive analysis and conventional engineering calculation to demonstrate and communicate robustness of designs, Develop and track work through detailed project plans, lead presentation of design options through a formalized design review process.

Badger Meter, Milwaukee, WI – Production /Cell Group/Large Meter June 2006 – Feb 2012

Assembled large mechanical and electrical units, sub-assemblies and final assemblies according to blue print specifications. Inspect equipment for accurate acceptability and operational requirements. Responsible for SQC (Statistical Quality Control) and SPC (Statistical Process Control).

Sara Lee Baking Group, Milwaukee, WI – Machinist/Baker May 1999 – Nov 2005
