SUMMARY
Innovative Senior Mechanical Designer. Process and design improvements include creating in-house solution that saved having to purchase $80k machine, increasing product volume output 30%, and reducing spillage in high-speed filling equipment by designing custom solutions. Work product meets ASME Y14.5M-1994-2009 and military standards. Range of industries includes military jet engines, biotech and health industry, and consumer products. Adaptable; quickly learning new software and production standards.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
CDI Engineering Solutions Corp. - Aerospace, Lynn, MA
Mechanical Designer/NX 10 (Unigraphics) CAD Operator 2013-present
Enabled GE to produce jet engines and related components to the military by producing manufacturing drawings and specifications that met military specs for geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) under very aggressive deadlines.
Quickly self-taught PLM Software NX (formerly Unigraphics NX) to read and create 2D and 3D drawings and Teamcenter 10/Siemens for team collaboration.
Assured design standards met all compliance requirements of GE policies and procedures, engineering standards, operating procedures, government and commercial standards, military review, and ASME Y14.5M-1994 standards.
Enhanced collaboration and maintained all data and correspondence while tracking model through manufacturing process by using Teamcenter 10 product lifecycle management software.
Ensured projects met time and cost projections by managing multiple projects concurrently, and accurately reported billable time while meeting quality standards
Nova Biomedical, Waltham, MA
Senior Mechanical Designer - SolidWorks CAD Operator 1997- 2009
Member of Concurrent Engineering Team which was called on to solve manufacturing problems, lower manufacturing costs, and create process improvements.
Assisted the R&D department to meet production schedules by taking charge of manufacturing and design problems
Achieved fast problem resolution by concentrating on issue until resolved. Resolution often required redesign and redrawing CAD manufacturing plans.
Helped management lower manufacturing costs through process improvements and streamlining assembly on blood glucose metering equipment and testing strips which were manufactured on site
Increased product volume output 30% by observing the rotary splitting machine used to cut laminated sheets into self-testing strips, only ran for an hour before requiring manual cleaning which took 30 minutes
Saved the company $80K by developing alternative process, designing, manufacturing, and implementing an alternative to purchasing
Increased productivity and cost effectiveness by soliciting feedback from machine operators to design tooling & fixtures
Saved the company thousands of dollars by reverse engineering, designing, and building a machine that eliminated bubbles from laminated sheets
Part of major layoff
Pneumatic Scale Corporation, Quincy, MA
Senior Mechanical Designer 1990-1996
Created designs for mechanical devices and equipment for High-Speed Bottling and Packaging Machinery
Collaborated with Engineers and other Professionals to create and improve Manufacturing Systems and Processes
Assisted in FDA approval of UK “Clean Design” machine enabling it to be manufactured in the US by adapting and translating metric drawings
Decreased waste from excessive overflow in filling Mead Johnson baby formula by designing a vibration system to settle product in the filling process
Reduced spillage of Folgers coffee packaging by designing conveyors, customizing the machines that drive them, optimizing equipment to grab, fill, cap, label, and palletize round containers; and streamlining the conveyor process.
