Mechanical Design Engineer

Innovative engineer with 3D design and 2D drafting experience for international product development in the fields of aerospace and defense, medical device, capital equipment, test and measurement equipment, telecommunications, electrical design, and construction.

Consistently improve on existing products and act as an interdepartmental liaison to truncate product development schedule. Track record of stellar performance at high-profile companies including:

Focus Product Design -Covidien – Apple – Lockheed Martin – Allied Telesyn

Selected Accomplishments

Shortened the Engineering Change Order (ECO) process from 4 weeks to less than 2 days.

Aligned global CAD documentation process and standards into one system with an emphasis on standardization and design for manufacturing (DFM).

Instituted new CAD drafting and design policies that ensured integrity of CAD designs globally.

Trained and advised new CAD users on ASME Y14.5 requirements and company drafting standards, which reduced the rejection rate by 50%.

Increased orders fivefold by designing products that attract vendors.
