September 2016

Seeking contract/direct position as a Mechanical Design Checker. Mechanical Designer with 25 years experience. I have worked as: Test Fixture Designer for Maxtor Disk Drive Co;

Drawing Detailer for Lockheed Martin (satellite program); Data Systems Design for Northrop Grumman (satellite data management); 3D Model Checker for United Launch Alliance (Atlas V Booster), BAE Combat Systems

(MRAP heavy vehicles), Aerojet (Orion service module and solid rocket boosters), Goodrich/UTC Aerostructures (fiber jet engine nacelles and thrust reversers), and Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company (Orion crew capsule). I have worked 3D CAD since 1992 on AutoCAD, Pro-Engineer/Creo, IDEAS, SolidWorks, and Catia V5.

My role in engineering has been as 3D CAD designer, production drafter, performing quality reviews for model check and drawings. I interrogate models for integrity, and review drawings for compliance with contractual and company standards (including ASME Y14.5-1994 and ASME Y14.100). I have practiced statistical tolerance analysis and have earned my GD&T Certificates from the James D. Meadows Institute for Engineering and Design.

I find each new company presents different challenges and I work quickly to meet those changing demands. I bring strong integrity and a solid work ethic with me every day. Thank you for your time. I look forward to discussing your staffing needs for mechanical design checkers in greater detail. Call me.

Available immediately.
