Responsible for design and project management of industrial autoclaves for use on composites in the

aerospace industry, as well as other large pressure vessels and custom process equipment, including a

variety of thermal, mechanical and electromechanical systems and components such as burners, heaters,

cooling coils, ducts, heat exchangers and breach-style doors • Perform process and system calculations in

accordance with required design criterion, customer specifications and various regulatory body standards,

directives and ordinances, including ASME/PED/CE codes • Extensively use 3D modeling and generate

fabrication-level drawings in 2D and 3D, using Inventor and AutoCAD, as well as perform static/structural,

dynamic, fluid and thermal FEA, using CFDesign, ANSYS, Compress and FluidFlow software packages •

Manage several projects simultaneously, from design to delivery, extensively communicating with

customers on design, project schedules, production developments and installation arrangements • Generate

and maintain project schedules, coordinating activities and working closely with electrical and controls

engineering, production, sales, purchasing and upper management to ensure prompt completions of critical

milestones

Achievements/Accomplishments:

Managed, led engineering effort and created technical/compliance documentation for the TUT (Thin

Uniform Telemeter) Machine for Gillette, a complex machine used for removing thin coating of telemeter

from the edge of a razor through an automated process that incorporates pressure vessels, a gantry robot, a

conveyor system and a distillation process • Worked as lead engineer/mechanical designer on the world's

biggest autoclave (30' X 85’) for Boeing 787 aircraft components (valued at $15.5 million) • Redesigned

the company Davit Door--the most technically complex electromechanical device in company history,

incorporating the use of 3 separate actuators to achieve continuous motion of the door • Worked on and

managed over $23.5 million in various high profile projects for companies that included Boeing, Gillette

(Proctor and Gamble), U.S. Air Force (Robins Air Force Base, Tinker), LES (Luisiana Energy Services),

General Electric, UTCAS Goodridge and more

MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER Camarillo, Ca. 93012

Jul. 2009 – Dec. 2009 805-***-****

www.eliteeng.com

Designed mechanical components, assemblies and electro-mechanical subassemblies (sensor systems) for a

5-AXIS ROBOTIC ARM and supplementary Smart Fixtures • Performed static and dynamic FEA analysis

on designed components and assemblies • Created 3D models and 2D drawing (SolidWorks) for

prototyping and manufacturing • Manufactured selected parts using in-house, bench-top CNC machine •

Built prototypes of various subassemblies for product and process development • Worked closely with

electrical, controls and automation engineers to come up with solutions and achieve targeted system

requirements • Communicated and worked with various vendors, manufacturers and machine shops to

minimize manufacturing and prototyping costs

Achievements/Accomplishments:

Successfully designed and built latest mechanical revision of the entire Arm • Improved control service

loops through design and implementation of optical “position” sensor assemblies for all 5 actuators

(enables accurate positioning data specifically upon startup) • Designed and implemented the force

sensor assembly into the gripper • Designed, partially-built and successfully tested the “Medical Syringe

Capper-Uncapper” fixture for automation of syringe handling
