with the copper and fiber data solutions which in includes category 3,

category 6, and category 6a shielded and unshielded RJ45 plugs, and jacks,

along with network solution accessories. I use Creo to optimize designs for

manufacturing, cost, and electrical conductivity. Myself along with the

cross functional team develops the product spec, and testing plan which is

my responsibility to execute.

August 2011-Auguest 2013: John Deere (ENTEGEE), Kernersville, NC

Mechanical Engineer: I worked as a mechanical engineer helping out the

excavator team for John Deere at the John Deere-Hitachi facility where the

130G through 350G excavators are built. My main responsibilities were to

help with the design of Deere design control components such as the

components that go into the cooling packaging, aftertreatment, top model

assemblies, including tubes, formed hoses, brackets, and coupled hoses.

This responsibility included the CAD design, drawing creation with GD&T,

BOM creation, BOM maintenance, and controlling the release of ECOs into

PDMLink/SAP. Most of my time was spent working with the new product team,

but would also help with kit creation for the continuous improvement team

when needed.

Mechanical Engineer: I was the mechanical engineering lead on projects that

dealt with industrial electrical OEM products such as UPS, and PDU

products. My responsibilities included creating the mechanical design

specifications, and mechanical testing specifications that met the needs of

the project, giving guidance and information to the design team, and to

report the results to the project manager. Also as the mechanical lead I

reviewed drawings, performed design reviews, reviewed test reports, setup

project schedules, and answered any questions from the OEM customer or

design team. I have also been involved in new product creation dealing with

3 phase electrical PDU systems. For that project I had been part of the

team that managed drawing creation, drawing updates, wiring harnesses, and

label creation.

management responsibilities. Class One projects were any projects that

dealt with a 9 month or shorter design cycle, and under a $100,000 project

budget. As a project lead my responsibilities included managing the cross

functional team and technical aspect of the project. The technical side

included making the design changes, or creating the new design to meet the

customer's need, verify the design changes, meet any 3rd party standards

such as UL, NEMA, or IEC, approving drawings and tolerances for all

component parts, verifying any technical publication changes, and verify

that a pilot run was completed.
