Career History:

Mechanical Engineer, Tolomatic

1/3/12-8/30/13

Hamel, MN 55340

- Designed linear electric and pneumatic actuators using GMP for

motion control applications. Products developed include: high force

USDA actuator, frictionless pneumatic actuators, and many smaller

custom products.

- Researched to expand knowledge base of competitors, new

technologies, materials, and design requirements for developing

projects involving USDA and EHEDG requirements

- Experimented and tested designs to their requirements and prove

concepts such as the strength of a joint, seal integrity,

deflection, stiction, life, and determined failure

- Organized, revised, and created: parts, assemblies, and BOMS

through: ECO's, ECR's, and ETR's;

- Worked with manufacturing and clients to design or improve products

Machine Mechanic, Ryt-Way Industries

3/29/10 - 8/21/11

Lakeville, MN 55044

- Repaired and changed over: food packaging machines, labelers,

coders, tapers, case erectors, fillers, and other equipment in a

dynamic food packaging environment covering 17 production lines

working independently or with a team while utilizing GMP to ensure

hygienic repairs

- Referenced manuals, documentation, and engineering to diagnose

problems on high speed production lines

- Documented work in Micromain to spot trends in performance, also

monitored line OEE to make sure lines ran 70% or higher; followed

guide lines for SQF safe quality foods

- Networked with mechanics and engineers to exchange ideas and to

ensure seamless shift transitions

- Utilized past experience, education, and logic to approach and

solve new problems

- Designed parts for machine modifications and line improvement such

as a metering air cylinder to reduce back pressure on single lane

conveyor

Student Utility Worker, U of M Housing and Residential Life
