Datacard, Minnetonka, MN 2010 - 2011

Mechanical Designer, Contract

Member of a product development team. On this team I work with other designers and engineers in support of project goals. I work on a broad range of components, assemblies and manufacturing processes which include injection molded plastic parts, sheet metal stampings, precision aluminum die castings and machining processes. I create solid models and assemblies, part drawings and bills of material. I am the lead in design reviews with venders in the development process. I have a machine shop background. During life testing procedures I identify and implement design changes by utilizing machine shop tools i.e. lathe and milling machines. I develop fixturing to make modifications in support of design changes.

Mechanical Designer, Contract 8/09-10/09 Responsible for creating CAD models and detailed drawings of various system components to support the system release of the EnteroMedics Maestro System in preparation for commercialization. Product documentation included a hand held electronic communication device, various versions of a communication coil, boxed kit assemblies and labels. Worked closely with engineers to align work schedule with tasks that required the most urgent needs. Through verbal instructions product design responsibilities included work in R&D to model and create drawings for a lead concept design and a modified design of a prototype over molded component for the antenna of an implantable pulse generator. Documentation efforts, via established procedures using Agile Management System, included the transfer of technical documentation (drawings and specifications) into a revision control system by the creation and assembling of Change Orders (COs). Activities included the release to pre-production by creating document attachments and processes to officially release the items through the change orders. MTS Systems, Corp.
