This letter is to present myself for a Mechanical Designer.
I have extensive experience in product design and development using I-DEAS (SDRC), SolidWorks, Pro-E and AutoCad. One of my linear actuator designs is patented. The versatility of my work assignments illustrates my ability to adapt to different work environments.
I have design expertise in the following areas: weldments, sheet metal, casting and molding, close tolerance machining, tolerance stack-ups (Excel), GD&T (Y14.5) and Teamcenter Enterprise
(I-DEAS 12NX-m4), SolidWorks, Pro-E Wildfire and AutoCad.
After reviewing my enclosed resume, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss with you my qualifications for a Mechanical Designer. If you would like more information, I can be reached at
