EXPERIENCE

I have done:

EPDM, PDM, and Windchill experience.

Design stress analysis (FEA) using Simulation/Cosmos with 3D model

prototypes, stress, pressure, drop test simulations.

Designed complex sub-assemblies keeping center of gravity in a specific

location, for weapon technologies to remain functional, balanced and

predictable. Designed specialty tools to create "form specific" tools for

milling and turning operations. Circular form tools, form drills, roll

letter stamps, and broaches. Figured the force required to move metal with

a controlled reaction to a series of controlled hammer blows (forging).

Material strengths, pressure capabilities, for subsea structures and

systems, products and storage components. Tools and tooling systems for

remote operated vehicles . Test procedures, and setup instructions. Change

order initiation, documentation, and review. Design and drawing checker for

functionality, and manufacture.

Oil States Industries, Houston TX

06/2015 - 02/2016 (contract position thru Alliance Keystone)

Solidworks designer, using EPDM and Master Control for data and

document control.

Modified and redesigned a series of three large shipping skids for 10 -

20 ton subsea pipeline connection collets. Added position locks to increase

safety of loading and unloading. Modified mounting and clamping structure

to simplify use and manufacture.

Designed/Modified control panels and mounting structure used on collect

connectors. Modified lifting clamp fixtures, seal maintenance tools, test

fixtures and connection hubs. Processed Engineering change orders through

documentation process. Created accompanying documentation for designs and

changes, i.e..- BOMs, ECRs, long lead items BOMs, Assembly drawings,

Machine drawings, Weldment drawings, General Arrangement drawings,

interface drawings, tolerance stack ups, Maintenance and Operations Manuels

- MOMs, GD&T, ANSI, API.

Solidworks Designer/Checker with PDM and EPDM experience. New product

design and development, product improvement. FEA, System design, part

design, high pressure systems, low pressure systems, machining, assembly,

safety, Subsea environment.

Develop products, drawings, BOM, project quotes, operation and

maintenance manuals - OMMs, deployment inventories. Detailing parts,

assemblies, material and finish selection, build tooling, for ROV

operations. Jacking tools, chemical injection systems, cleaning tools, load

cells, hydraulic cutting tools, wire clamping tools, valve panel

assemblies, hydraulic systems to run from ROVs at 2K - 7K psi. High

pressure systems up to 25K psi. FEA - pressure systems, structures, parts,

and assemblies. ROV gauge and control panel layout, piping, and mounting.

All tools and operations were developed for Remote Operated Vehicle use.

Drafted forms for: documentation, purchasing, and drawing/design policies,

to be in conformance with regulations.

The Subsea Company, Houston TX

10/2011 - 08/2012

New product development. FEA, System design, part design, high pressure

systems, structural, machining, assembly, coatings/plating, safety, Subsea

environment.

Develop products, and systems, for example: designed and built a positive

pressure lubrication reservoir for a subsea solids processing unit.

Detailing parts, assemblies, build tooling, test diagrams/procedures, and

jigs. ROV panel interfaces, accumulator racks, riser clamps and clamp

racks. Custom pressure compensator designs for specific uses. FEA -

pressure systems, structures, parts, and assemblies. Force, pressure, and

drop test simulations using Solidworks Simulation. Drafted policies,

documentation, and drawing practices.

Freelance design projects (2010-2011)

2009-2011-Worked in an unrelated field.

Modern Forge of Tennessee, Piney Flats TN

09/10/2007 - 09/11/2009

Tool and Die Designer using Pro-Engineer

Designing forge dies, closed die hammers, trim tooling and coin tooling

with Pro-Engineer. Incorporate customer design changes, tooling changes,

and quality improvements to all documentation. Documentation control. AS400

maintenance and modifications pertaining to product routing and document

control. Geometric Dimensioning Tolerances (GD&T) and target points to be

maintained. Define shot blast, and heat treat requirements for all parts.

Communication with all departments was a must. Prepared models to verify

that a process could be initialized and completed for quoting of new jobs.

Forging is a multi-step process and needs strong documentation to maintain

repeatability.

Received training classes at Design 2 Solutions (Nashville TN) for Pro-E

General Dynamics OTS Niceville, FL

3/2003- 6/2007

Solidworks Mechanical Drafter/Designer

Security Clearance

New product models using Solid Works (versions 2002 - 2007) for testing and

research. Created test fixtures and assemblies, tool design, fixtures,

gages as well as bills of material test operations. Drawing and document

file control. Design variations, revisions, and data points per project

were gathered and tracked for analysis and review. FEA using COSMOS and

COSMOS LT. Multiple projects were underway simultaneously requiring focus

and time management. Specific deliverables required attention to size,

weight, and center of gravity though the entire assembly, Geometric

Dimensioning & Tolerances and tolerance stacking knowledge a requirement.

DOD contracts for development of new weapon technologies, precise

documentation to military standards was a must. A low cost standard test

oven was one of projects I did while employed here. Building layout

(remodel) for a move to a new location. I initiated, researched, and

processed Engineering Change Notifications (ECN), gathered and prepared

drawings, sketches, illustrations, pictures, and models for test plans,

presentations, trade shows and product reviews. Available as a resource to

Solid Works users for resolving issues from "how to", import/export, 3D

modeling, printing/plotting, to first angle/third angle, and unit

conversions (metric-inches). I also took on the task of converting archive

documents from older unsupported software (AutoCad), to current format, and

file types (SolidWorks).
