Job Objective: Cad Designer Engineer utilizing Autodesk Inventor in the fabricating industry responsible for job design, setup, documentation, routing, monitoring, quality control and customer satisfaction.

EXPERIENCE

Bennett Manufacturing Inc, Alden NY, 14004 Laid off Jan.7, 2011 (No work)

CAD DESIGNER / ENGINEER/ PROGRAMMER - AUTODESK INVENTOR 11

Responsibilities: Modify new incoming products while reducing manufacturing costs and lead times with ideas and processes to work better, faster and smarter! I will perform a complete evaluation of drawings, identify any issues that may exist in the design and implement design changes for better manufacturing.

Diversified Manufacturing, Inc., Lockport, NY, 2001 - 2005

JBA Metal Fabricating, Inc., Lancaster, NY, 1996 – 2001 (Acquired by Diversified in 2001)

ENGINEER TECH / PROGRAMMER AUTODESK INVENTOR

Responsibilities: Evaluate each project and develop a detailed router/traveler

(Job instructions for each step of the manufacturing). Each job is a separate

entity and thus requires independent evaluation. If given blueprints, I breakdown the job

into the various steps required for manufacturing in a production run, determine the

materials required, document the machining/processing steps required, purchase the

required materials and hardware, and create drawings/programs to assist in the process. I

also follow the job through the shop, assist with shop project coordination, and perform

quality control inspections for all prototype parts during various aspects of production. If

not given blueprints, I design the product using various CAD software programs, create

blueprints and present them to the customer for approval or modifications before

breaking the job into the various steps above. In addition, I am responsible for

controlling the job via change requests for drawing discrepancies, material discrepancy

reports and engineering release notices, for maintaining all documentation for inspection

and for outsourcing products for initial machining and/or painting (if required).

Also please review the Attached links below to demonstrate that you can convert Pro-E and Solidworks files to Autodesk Inventor. These files can be converted to a base solid and vise versa. Once that is done you can use the feature recognition tool on the part to convert them to parametric features. See this link to watch the feature recognition in action.
