Professional Summary:
- Develop new products (plastic, sheet metal and machining) following engineering principles, regulatory requirements, standards and customer requirements in both automotive (Chrysler, Ford and Honda) and aircraft (Boeing and Airbus)
- 8 years work hand on plastic component and assembly (injection mold, insert mold and blow mold), deep knowledge of plastic tooling, welding and manufacture. Co-working with tooling shop, quality and cost control (PPM) with factory
- Start program from layout study, proposals with the customer request, product functions and standards
- Develop parts/assembly following engineering principles, loading, weight control, optimum, tooling and cost control
- Co-work with CAE, prototyping, test and tooling; revise designs based on feedback from design team and customer (engineering change note/DFEMA), and quality control, feasibility studies, integration plans, tolerance stack-up (liner/static) and clash investigation to assure the manufacturability of designs.
- Hand on Part simulation by Catia V5 FEA (finite element analysis) tool for stress and deformation
- BOM and 2D drawings (ANSI/ISO), GD&T application (ASME/ANSI), revise the drawings and production release with documents.
- Presents on program review and documentation of inputs, ideas and question from internal and customer, Represents the Company to customers or suppliers on technical matters of the assigned project.
- Creative and self-starter, open mind and quicker leaner, challenger and flexible, hard worker with good time control, team player and contributor
- Project management, quality and cost control, prototyping and test, interface with customer and guide supplier, complete job in timing.
- 10+ years hand on Catia V5/V4 (10,000 hr V5), 3 years Ideas, modeling part and assembly with GSD (surface) and solid function. Design in context, KBE/Template and 2D drawings. Translating data between 2 or more CAD systems, transfer data to OEM/supplier/tool shop
- 10 + years works at OEM’S and suppliers. Develop new product on each phase from initial to production release.
