WORK EXPERIENCE

Senior Mechanical Engineer for New Product Development July 2015 - Present

Eaton Corporation Raleigh, NC

Developed uninterruptable power supply and accessories with 400kW capacity, 2-3 year design cycle and about $50 million revenue, using tools such as Creo and FloTHERM

Optimized flow, component placement, and component selection for IGBT/Diode power modules and static switch assemblies with thermal analysis

Designed 400kW maintenance bypass cabinets (uninterruptable power supply accessories) 35% under budget

Introduced modular design approach to mitigate design iterations

Reduced prototype build time from three weeks to two weeks by creating procedure to release cables with correct length the first time

Mentored Eaton India team on creation of product-setup and schematic diagrams of the entire product family for customers

Mechanical Engineer for New Product Development May 2007 – June 2015

Eaton Corporation Raleigh, NC

Developed power distribution units, uninterruptable power supplies, and accessories, with capacities up to 300kW, design cycles up to 3 years, and revenue up to $50 million, using tools such as Creo, ANSYS and FloTHERM

Conducted DFMEA and design reviews across various functional teams to determine appropriate failure modes for power distribution products

Released detailed engineering drawings, bills of materials (BOM), engineering change orders (ECO)

Performed transportation and seismic vibration analysis using ANSYS for power distribution units. Recommended design, material and geometric changes for improved product reliability.

Validated the design of uninterruptable power supply and power distribution unit with seismic testing with shaker tables

Received strong performance appraisal for completing high-quality designs on schedule and under budget

Created new change-order template that reduced error rate in my team from 50% to 10%, and was later implemented company-wide

Automated bill-of-materials release process, cutting time required for ordering parts in half

Spearheaded introduction of 3D printing to prototyping and manufacturing process

Reduced risk of product damage during installation by developing procedure to calculate center of gravity experimentally

Built relationship with Eaton Mexico team ordering custom designed transformers for power distribution units

Applications Engineer December 2004 – May 2007

Eaton Corporation Fayetteville, NC

Successfully completed Six Sigma Green Belt project involving thermal analysis and testing of variable frequency drives in motor control centers

Gained experience designing enclosures with sheet metal

Drove cost savings by implementing VAVE across multiple projects
