Career Goal

To be part of a team that takes responsibility in engineering and development with new technologies; continuing to grow and become a leader in the industry with an organization which encourages growth, collaboration, and ultimately leading the team to success.

Professional Profile

Mechanical engineering design of custom test systems, aviation equipment, electronic enclosures, precision sensors, LED lighting and lenses, mechanisms, pressure vessels, test fixtures, components and complex assemblies for small and large customer projects across a wide range of industries.

● 9 years managing up to 6 concurrent projects

● 18 years designing and engineering to governing

regulations and customer specifications

● 12 years using FEA, CFD, and modal frequency

paired with empirical testing to analyze parts and systems

● Leader in multiple Kaizen events, improving

organization, process, and workflow

● 25+ years expert draftsman using AutoCAD,

Inventor, and Solidworks

● 14 years mentoring in MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, MS Project, and Solidworks

Skills

Personal Skills: Self starter with strong initiative for gathering information, listening effectively, planning detailed schedules, and creating solutions; Estimating new product requirements, costs, risks and durations; Managing projects, reviewing detailed requirements, coordinating with stakeholders and team, monitoring key milestones, and accepting responsibility for project outcome; Identifying and troubleshooting failures by patiently reviewing data, developing processes, analyzing problems, providing solutions, documenting and overseeing implementation; Value engineering while improving processes, researching new materials and techniques; Designing for manufacturability by communicating and listening effectively to production staff, learning processes, and applying collective input. Engineering Tools: Qualification, quality control, and calibration testing by use of data acquisition system, accelerated thermal aging in HAAS chamber, multiplexer, digital multimeter, thermocouple, resistance temperature detector (RTD), megger, anemometer, caliper, and bore scope; prototyping using mill, lathe, band saw, vacuum pump, oven, grinder, belt sander, static mat, shop air, 3D printer, pneumatic and electric shop tools and more. Software Aids: Drafting with AutoCAD, Inventor, and Solid Works; report and procedure writing with Word; programming and analysis using Excel, Matlab, ANSYS, and LabVIEW; presentations and graphics with PowerPoint, Photoshop, Illustrator; project planning and task management using MS Project, DevOps, Outlook, VersionOne; data management, creation and maintenance of bills of manufacture with Agile, Access, SharePoint. Knowledge of: ISO 9001 procedures, ANSI GD&T, ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel (NB, NC, ND, and NCA), CSA, DO-160, IEEE, FDA, IPC, MIL, NEC, NFPA, NRC, NUREG, RCC-E, RCC-M, SAE codes, standards and specifications.

Professional Accomplishments

Advancing Technical Knowledge

● Earned the respect of peers and superiors for mastery of Solidworks, Excel, and Word

● Mentored colleagues in drafting, engineering tools, and both stress and thermal simulation and analysis Reducing Cycle Time

● Greater than 50% reduction in cycle time of engineering tasks for large projects by generating document templates

● Created ASME PTC 19.3-2010 analysis tool in Excel to generate a design report in seconds saving hours of repetitive analysis.

● Developed center of gravity analysis tool to predict tip testing results for rack based systems. Reducing Costs

● Designed and implemented earned value (EV) project management tool

● Worked with vendors to better define tolerances and modify part designs for improved manufacturability, reducing costs by $30,000 on one order.

● Researched and implemented new modular assembly methods allowing reduced assembly time savings of 25%

● Simplified part design, reducing cost by 30% and lead time by 10% Certification
