Professional Experience
Mechanical Design Engineer II September 2012 - Present Zodiac Aerospace
Developed new mechanical design processes with optimization practices using CAD software.
Successfully completed two product lifecycle programs.
Achieved important contributions by minimizing the weight of machined components, injection molding parts, sheet metal, and nomex honeycomb composites. Their mechanical performance and the parameters were also improved.
Optimized the product efficiency by solving manufacturing issues in the production line.
Cost reduced manufacturing with optimized part design and material selection.
Worked as an acting manufacturing liaison to interconnect the designing team with the manufacturing team with the goal of decreasing the time required of product development.
Produced hundreds of 2D drawings and supported off site engineers by red lining their 2D drawings.
Traveled to different corporate branches of the country and abroad to support customers. Collaborated alongside customer engineers in solving mechanical, manufacturing, production, and design issues. Mechanical Engineer Intern May 2011 – July 2012
