Experience:

Pacific Handy Cutter / Design Engineer (Current Position)

June 2018-Present, Irvine CA

Use SolidWorks to design 3D models of ergonomic box cutter products, manufacturing fixtures, and product testing fixtures. Design for plastic injection molding, stamping, mill/lathe CNC, and sheet metal forming. Create supporting documentation, assemblies, exploded views, top down assembly drawings, and basic motion studies for Sr. Engineer. Use sales customer feedback to propose part redesigns. Create and implement tests for products to estimate product life cycle report results to Sr. Engineer. Inspect first articles of product production runs to ensure part requirements were met as called out by the production drawings. Design and assemble custom material handling fixtures and testing fixtures to assist in product lean manufacturing efficiency. Achievement: Multiple patented designs currently in production and used by Walmart, Target, and other grocery chains.

Montana State University / College Senior Design Project

August 2017 – May 2018, Montana State University MT

Worked with Los Alamos National Lab to design and fabricate a custom tool to remove a conical foam billet adhered to the inside of a re-entry body. Created a Gantt chart to breakdown level one requirements of the project to fit within the timeline. Proposed the problem solution to a preliminary design review board. Used SolidWorks to model parts, create assemblies, create drawings, and capture 3D images to communicate the design intent. Reported weekly progress reports to LANL. Utilized SolidWorks FEA to estimate applied resultant stresses while checking results with hand calculations. Fabricated all parts with a mill and lathe. Created, implemented, and executed pass/ fail test criteria for the tool assembly.

MEFAS Inc / Failure Analyst Technician
