Objective: Seeking product development role leading to positions of progressively greater

responsibility in a cross-functional team setting.

Work Experience

Becton, Dickinson, & Company Research Triangle Park, NC

Senior Engineer March 2010 –

Present

Responsible for the design, development, and testing of novel Class III medical devices. New devices have

introduced innovative ways to deliver medication, reduce environmental impact, and provide opportunities for cost

savings.

Developed all injection mold tooling for group - part design, procurement, debugging/tooling modification and

parts production for prototype devices.

Evaluated process technologies that enabled higher throughput and improved processability.

Developed FEA models for predicting structural and thermal performance of part and tooling designs.

Responsible for the development of test methods, designing test fixtures, and testing of devices in accordance

with internal, ASTM, and ISO standards.

Co-author of two invention disclosure reports accepted by the intellectual property counsel.

Belcan Corporation Raleigh, NC

Mechanical Engineer II January 2008 – March 2010

Designed large structural components for Caterpillar’s construction and forestry equipment. Implemented designs

improved functionality, increased accessibility for maintenance, decreased machine weight, and reduced

manufacturing time and cost.

Developed part and assembly drawings with dimensions and geometric tolerancing for use in manufacturing,

assembly, and quality control.

Analyzed designs for structural integrity though the use of finite element analysis.
