PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Mechanical Design Engineer with 3 years of development experience in industrial and fluid systems. Proficient in SolidWorks 3D CAD, GD&T (ASME Y14.5), DFM, tolerance stack-up analysis, and engineering documentation (BOMs, ECOs, DXF/IGES). Delivered hardware from concept through production release on KAMAZ vehicle-mounted equipment programs. Holds a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering (WES evaluated, GPA: 3.59); FE Mechanical licensure in progress. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Design Engineer PROMSNABZASHITA LLC Moscow, Russia Sep 2024 – May 2026

• Delivered full product lifecycle development of specialized vehicle-mounted equipment on KAMAZ heavy-duty chassis – from concept through production release – coordinating across design, manufacturing, and vendor teams to meet schedule and quality targets.

• Designed welded tank assemblies, sheet metal components, brackets, and storage systems in SolidWorks, applying GD&T

(ASME Y14.5) and DFM principles to achieve first-pass manufacturability and eliminate production rework.

• Engineered water piping, hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical assemblies while coordinating with fabrication and testing teams through prototype validation, ensuring design intent was maintained from drawing release to final build.

• Identified and proposed substitution of cold-rolled seamless tubes with hot-rolled welded tubes across 30m of vehicle piping – reducing material cost by 5-7 times per unit while meeting all pressure and safety requirements for the system's 1 MPa maximum operating pressure.

• Built and maintained CAD library from scratch to 250 standard components and fasteners – reducing fastener variants by 50% through lean standardization, cutting procurement complexity and ensuring traceability across all active programs.

• Performed tolerance stack-up analysis on critical assemblies to validate fit and clearance prior to prototype build, reducing iterative design cycles during fabrication and validation. Junior Design Engineer THN URAL LLC Moscow, Russia May 2023 – Sep 2024

• Successfully delivered 6 reverse engineering projects – recreating legacy assemblies in SolidWorks from historical documentation through to manufactured, installed, and operational components – improving manufacturing accuracy before production tooling commitment.

• Ran assembly interference and clearance revisions in SolidWorks, catching fit issues pre-production and minimizing tooling changes.

• Produced manufacturing drawings in accordance with Russian engineering standards (GOST/ESKD). Collaborated with senior engineers and shop floor teams to ensure drawings met tolerance and inspection requirements.

• Audited engineering drawing packages for missing dimensions, tolerances, and inconsistencies – increasing documentation quality and reducing downstream rework.
