Volvo Trucks North America-Greensboro NC

Greensboro, NC, CAD Administrator/ Systems Engineer, July 1997 to March 2004

Windchill Technical Committee Chairperson. Here I was involved with the development of future release of Windchill starting with 6.2 moving thru 7.0 and most recently working on the new version X10 of Windchill. Here we had a large obstacle to address with WAN and the current performance in 6.2 was slow for releasing large assemblies thru the WAN. We improved the performance of releasing large object in a WAN environment. Thus creating a “real time” experience for releasing product.

Support Pro/ENGINEER and data management files for all of engineering

Monitor the network system performance between Greensboro and Sweden.

Enable concurrent engineering environment throughout the Volvo enterprise by developing web sites for maintaining critical data

Developed an automated program to create frame rails and components using existing customer purchase orders.

Unleashed a dramatic productivity gain within the engineering department by creating “Master Model Process” utilizing Pro/Program. This allowed Volvo to use E-builds instead of paper to verify the design. Manufacturing benefited as each module became a single cell on the production line.

Develop “G” Code for the Robotic sprayers and 5 axis Milling Machines. Work with Cincinnati’s, Mazak, ABCo, ABB, Allen Bradley, Square D.

Very familiar with Powder Coating and Spray Booths

Thomas Built Buses- High Point NC

Sr. Mechanical Engineer/Systems Engineer, April 1995 to April 1997

Implemented a new Product Data Management (PDM) system that queried the model metadata and controlled that data within the file. The metadata was then transferred to an automatic releasing system in PDM by the use of a C ++ Program. The metadata was changed in the model so that the parameter can be changed so that we can use a auto configurator to develop a new family of product. This saved the company money as we did not have to have a complete design staff for the changes. The money that was saved which was approximately $150,000. The money that was saved allowed us to purchase new equipment.

Developed the family of school buses with Freightliner Chassis. This was done with Pro/Engineer using Pro/Program and family tables. This program would ask a series of questions prior to building the model. This allowed us to develop school buses for each specific state and passenger arrangement. This allowed us to develop a model quickly so that the customer could approve of the bus and see their options on the bus. This saved the company countless dollars as they no longer had extra buses that customers would not take delivery on. Each Bus ran about$55,000.00

Developed a product structure group for positioning master modules by work cell verse the skeleton assembly so that can control the production lines and used Design Manger to develop zones for the top down design. The Advantage to this design is that you have claimed your space in the vehicle prior to conception of the parts. Great examples of this are loader arm linkages and the space claim during conception and animation. This also allows Mechanica Motion to work properly

Cherry Electric/ Harley Davidson-Waukegan,IL

Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer/ System Engineer, Jan 1991 to April 1995

Designed the handle bar controls for the 1993-2000 Harley Davidson motorcycle’s. This ranged from the low-end Sportster to the high-end Ultra Classic.

Introduced the use of Stereo Lithography Models (SLA). All of these models were done using Pro/ENGINEER. This saved the company money because you did not have to cut tooling a find out you need to make a change and a new tool is required.

Assisted conversions from various systems such as SDRC, CATIA, and AutoCAD into Pro/ENGINEER.

Utilized Rasna and Cosmos/M for Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

Provided full training material for all the staff engineers.

Responsible for implementing Irix 4.0.
