Summary

Experienced Mechanical Engineer skilled in automation of heavy equipment. Experience with stress analysis, endurance calculation, and thermal mass transfer. Experienced PLC and HMI programmer with implementation of mechatronics principles. Engineered and designed large capacity machines for the paper and steel industry which included all load calculations, vibration analysis, hydraulic and pneumatic design, timing, and process control. Designed and programed machines for in house automation of manually intensive and dangerous operations. Engineered automated quality systems for 100% part inspection on a manufacturing line. Managed multiple engineers and designers to accomplish these large projects in the allotted time from concept to installation and startup. Trained in GD&T ASME Y14.5-2009. I enjoy the technical challenges of automating a process that has historically been a manual operation. My current goals involve training in project management to further my ability to handle larger projects for on time completion, and on budget. Experience
