PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Collaborative Design Engineer with experience leading design, development, and testing of Aerospace systems. I’ve worked in most if not all areas of mechanical design, electromechanical design and electrohydraulic design as well. I was involved in the design and development of aircraft external fuel tanks, pylons hydraulic plumbing and valves. I designed ground support test equipment. Some of my responsibilities included the design and layout of machines used to make cabinets for electromechanical components. There were occasions where existing parts had to be modified into new and different components to fit new requirements. I have experience working from ideas to rough conceptual sketches to initial layouts to production parts. I have experience using Pro-E/CREO to complete my assignments. I’m very well versed in the GD&T process. A good working knowledge of the manufacturing and fabrication process as well. I’ve worked in positions of Mechanical Designer, Electromechanical Designer, Responsible Design Engineer (RDE) and Project Manager. I’ve been Considered an asset while contributing excellence in cross-functional project leadership to deliver products and solutions on-time and within budget.
