Principal Mechanical Engineer
Diebold, Incorporated - North Canton, Ohio 01-1992 to Current
Collaborate with Product Management and Industrial Design to conceptualize and refine new ATM product concepts.
Design parts and assemblies in 3D CAD for new and existing ATM products using various fabrication methods, including sheet metal, machining, injection molding, 3D printing, and steel plate weldments.
Regularly submit and implement cost reduction ideas for existing products to management that offer first year cost savings ranging from $20,000 to $150,000.
Initiated and implemented a cost reduction idea to redesign an ATM that resulted in a cost savings of $360,000 per year.
Initiated and implemented a cost reduction idea to replace expensive ball-bearing slides with a cost efficient sheet metal friction slide design that resulted in a cost savings of $220,000 per year.
Manage large CAD assemblies to verify product structure, product fit and clearances, cable routing access, device serviceability, and to generate bills of material.
Responsible for creating all part and assembly drawings required for my projects, including all material specifications, assembly specifications, fabrication specifications, bills of material, cable routing details, and other design intent.
Responsible for up-loading all new drawings and bills of material into the product data management system at the product release stage.
Design polymer parts ranging in size from large, decorative fascia panels down to small, intricate geometry. Materials include: Polycarbonate, PC-ABS, Delrin, Nylon, as well as conductive and anti-static compounds.
Design sheet metal parts and assemblies including large cabinet enclosures, decorative customer interface panels, service trays, and structural members.
Manage all aspects of development projects: Schedules; Prototype part procurement; Prototype builds; Design verification and validation; testing; Design release; Pilot production support.
