PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Halliburton 2013 – Present

Mechanical R&D Engineer, Houston, TX

As a lead mechanical engineer, worked with a cross functional team during the development of LWD/MWD tools and successfully passed the mechanical validation and commercialization life cycle stages of multi-million dollar development projects.

Produced new components and assemblies, made 3-D models and created Engineering Drawings per ASME Y14.5 standards utilizing appropriate geometric dimensioning and tolerances (GD&T).

Performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and employed engineering calculations during the design of components to ensure operation in high pressure and temperature applications.

Applied knowledge of metallic and elastomeric materials and their application for highly corrosive and extreme environments to create specifications and research new solutions.

Developed test procedures, conducted tests and analyzed test results during validation and verification of products and performed Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for test failure

Managed proper document control during project development to track project milestones, deliverables, reports and documentation, and maintained development and production Bills of Materials (BOM).

Reviewed part non-conformance reports sent by multiple vendors. Addressed and responded to issues by means of tolerance analysis, engineering calculations and computer analysis to develop repair and salvage options.

Researched, solved and implemented design changes for reoccurring problems in commercialized tools to maintain and improve products and services.

Collaborated with suppliers and vendors regarding technical needs and limitations to adjust design features which would assist in cost containment, efficiency, profitability, or operations improvement.

Headed a group of offsite and onsite engineers in ensuring the technical compliance of Halliburton drilling equipment for the DS-1 and API industry standards.

QuEST Global 2011 – 2013

Mechanical Design Engineer, Houston, TX 2012-2013

As a contracted mechanical design engineer for Halliburton, led sustaining projects to redesign and re-engineer commercialized and in development LWD/MWD tools to improve reliability, serviceability and reduce cost.

Provided product development support for MWD/LWD and drilling tools by applying engineering knowledge to investigate and solve design issues.

Performed product sustaining of commercialized MWD/LWD and drilling tools by investigating service related issues, designing modifications and implementing changes.

Assured vendor compliance of manufactured parts by performing tolerance and geometric dimensional analysis and developing machining and weld repair plans for out of spec parts.

Utilized Computer Aided Engineering software such as Solidworks during the design and modeling of components.

Performed FEA analysis using ANSYS to determine components would survive harsh conditions, and to ensure defects, damages, and repair options remained safely usable.

Managed proper document control in internal project/documentation management databases (PDM) through the use, creation and modification of Bill of Materials.

Project Engineering Team Lead, Houston, TX 2012

As the first on-site Team Lead, responsible for the launch of a self-sustaining engineering services contractor team to assist and advise leaders during the management and development of projects for multiple Halliburton product service lines.
