• Evaluate and design mechanical products and equipment to meet customer needs and specifications
• Directly involved in automating redundant design tasks enabling customers to cut their design time by up to 30%
• Provided guidance on design intent for customers who manufacture in house, eliminating the need for rework once the product reached the manufacturing life cycle
• Collaborated with customers in the medical and automotive industry to help apply CNC manufacturing templates
• Developed training material and operational workflows around GD&T, tolerance stack up analysis and Model Based Definitions
• Estimated costs and efforts for engineering or extraction projects and prepared technical documentation

• Initiated a transition from 2D blueprints to 3D models in SolidWorks, which allowed the programmer to program components at a quicker pace.
• With the movement to 3D models I was tasked with thinking of creative ways on how to fixture custom parts. My solution was to create a template based on the vises we had available and generate softjaw models based on.
• This allowed for an increase in productivity by 20%, the programmer was able to generate CNC programs much faster for more complicated geometry.
• Designed stamping dies for cutting out leather products.
• Created detailed drawings of the dies and made necessary adjustments based on the feedback from the engineers.
