●30000+ hours of 3D CAD experience

-20,000+ hours of SOLIDWORKS versions 98 thru 2014 with heavy design experience in rotating machinery, numerous medical devices, consumer products, mechanical packaging of electronics, very large assemblies with thousands of parts, extensive use of master models, configuration tables and master assemblies to reduce engineering labor, sheet metal, cabling (cable routing, wire lists, cabling layouts and cabling harness design, use of cabling connector libraries), piping (pipe routing, pipe design, pipe layout, development and use of pipe fittings libraries), mechanisms, and BOMs. And of course constant GD&T

-1000 hours PRO ENGINEER experience, versions 17 to 2004 including: advanced solid modeling, surface modeling, assembly modeling, cable and harness design, sheet metal, electronics packaging, drafting, piping and tooling design.

-500 hours CATIA versions 4.16-4.19 and 5.6 experience including solid modeling, drafting, assemblies, intermediate surfacing, generative shape module, sheet metal and cabling.

-8000+ hours SOLID EDGE, solid modeling, very large assemblies, cabling and harness design, electronic packaging, etc.

-10000 hours of 2D Autocad.

●Technical Writing Skills: Although I am an average Technical Writer, can quickly polish the results into above average using outside resources and in house review/checking. Extensive experience writing assembly manuals, user manuals, assembly/disassembly instructions, material and product specifications, operating manuals, technical manuals, etc. for multimillion dollar projects.

●MRP: 4 years heavy SAP experience. Previously used more basic MRP/document control systems.

●Injection Molding Design Experience: 11000 hours total, 4000 hours polypro injection mold modifications, many new mold designs for Becton Dickinson Sharps Disposal Systems, 4000 hours ABS mold mods and mold design, Moldflow software for DE3 design house, 3000 hours injection molding design experience using Chinese mold manufacturers for electronic enclosures for Petsafe Radio Systems. Have also done vacuum forming molds, die cast molds and blow molding.

●Project management experience: As the engineering hub at ACJCC I often had to clean up/check/rework project manager’s results, reworking thousands of documents. Otherwise was project manager 7 years at ACJCC, 2 years DE3, etc..

●Composites: hands on experience with hand layups, composite design, carbon and s glass tapes.

●Rotating machinery: have designed and built over 100 million$ in cryogenic pump/motor systems and DC servomotors in use today around the world.

●Pressure vessels: Have designed using pressure vessel design software and built over 200 systems, 100 million $ in cryogenic pressure vessels in use today around the world.

●Mechanical Packaging of Electronics: About 30 projects for two design houses/manufacturers. Have built many highly complex electronics projects.

●Tooling experience: Have designed 10+ injection molds for DE3, mold design changes, dozens of casting molds, several hundred hydro-test tooling fixtures, numerous aftermarket maintenance stands, transportation crating, overseas shipping packaging for million $ pumps, numerous multimillion dollar large skid systems, etc., etc., etc..

●Commercial/Instrument rated Pilot, Part 135 Charter license. Advanced class Amateur Radio including substantial antenna design experience.

ATTRIBUTES:

●SPEED and EXPERIENCE: Able to quickly take concepts, avoid the many pitfalls and turn those concepts into prototypes, refine the prototypes, develop necessary tooling and take them into production.

●Have taken many products from conception to production. Have performed many FMEAs, DFAs in groups and individually. Have used QFD to design inspection parameters for many new products. Have used DOE principles many times.

●Extensive experience working in groups, cross functional teams, with government agencies (FCC, FDA, FAA, county and state) UL, supervising projects, employees and subcontractors.

●Extensive experience interfacing with vendors and clients. Can deliver presentations to groups.

●Self-starter, good interpersonal relations skills and a team player.

●I have delivered numerous highly profitable, highly reliable products to the marketplace. Total sales of these products is about 150 million dollars.

EXPERIENCE:

5-04 to 4-15 Carter Cryogenics,(became ACJCC) Atlas Copco, JC Carter Branch, Newport Beach, Ca.

For the last 4 years, was the company engineering hub, the interface between Sales and

Engineering. Using complex Master Model Assemblies & Master drawings

(which I developed) and with extensive configuration tables, generated ALL the new

Quotations and ALL new projects for a 25 million dollar per year cryogenic pump/system

Company, handing off the projects at the half way point for the designers to finish.
