SUMMARY

Mechanical Engineering Professional with experience in product development from concept through production, and ability to draw conclusions and make recommendations based on technical functions. Background includes engineering design in audio professional products and handheld personal communication devices, as well as project engineering in manufacturing industry. Analytical and innovative problem solver who investigates complex mechanical systems and manufacturing processes to produce cost effective and robust engineering solutions. Task oriented, with hands on management approach in solving practical problems in manufacturing and mechanical engineering industry.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

SHURE INC., Niles, Illinois 2008-2009

A privately held leader in the design and manufacturing of professional and personal audio products.

Mechanical Engineer II

Designed, developed, and tested all aspects of audio personal listening, wireless and wired product mechanical components using various manufacturing processes. Supported production line issues as related to mechanical engineering by analyzing and redesigning existing products.

• Completely eliminated unforeseen product function failure on one of the company’s top selling wireless microphone by analyzing the problem, considering the simplest and cost effective solution, redesigning, and testing to validate the fix.

• Reduced service rate of return caused by poorly designed assembly of the power on/off printed circuit switch board by evaluating possible root causes, testing potential solutions and implementing the mechanical design change.

MOTOROLA INC., Schaumburg, Illinois 2005-2008

A $ 5.37 billion leader in the design and manufacturer of high technology communication products for industrial, commercial, and consumer markets.

Mechanical Engineer, Libertyville, Illinois

Designed mechanical components for new handheld mobile devices using various manufacturing processes. Worked closely with electrical engineers, RF engineers, marketing, manufacturing plants, and vendors to achieve desired results. Supported existing products by implementing needed mechanical changes.

• As part of small cost reduction project team with major customer Verizon Wireless redesigned assembly, tested and documented 2 dimensional drawings which contributed to the team achieving historic low submission attempts before Verizon’s technical product approval.

• Prevented testing failures and achieved maximized acceptable reliability results by designing SD card grommet engineering solution just two weeks before product launch and approval.

• In response to testing failure, designed robust assembly structure of the PC board around ball grid array (BGA) component chips by incorporating different manufacturing process of PC board level shields and their layout on printed circuit board.

• Assisted Senior Staff Engineer to focus on most critical and potential project canceling issue by taking on additional responsibility of paint testing and accelerated life testing prototype submissions.

• Analyzed and restructured mechanical assembly design problem with digital camera module by working closely with vendor and camera module technical group. Designed new camera’s retaining ring which prevented mechanical failures and achieved needed test results.

PENTAIR ELECTRONIC PACKAGING CO., Golden Valley, Minnesota 2004-2005

A $633.8 million leading global provider of standard and custom electronic enclosure solutions.

Project Engineer, Des Plaines, Illinois (2004-2005)

Performed engineering design evaluations and testing to complete projects within budget and scheduling restraints. Created production work instructions, and trained assembly line supervisors on incoming new manufacturing programs.

• Under tight project schedule, successfully transferred new manufacturing project from Des Plaines plant to factory in Mexico. Traveled to the Mexico plant and trained manufacturing engineers and production supervisors.

Engineering Technician, Des Plaines, Illinois (2004)

Assisted senior mechanical engineers in the planning and testing of mechanical components and assembly systems such as electronic chassis. Prepared proposals and cost estimates of new manufacturing programs.

• Supported Senior Engineer in approval process for key customer by assembling and trouble shooting electronic chassis enclosure and expediting production parts measurements with quality and production department, which received customer approval.
