• I am responsible for the design of mechanical structures to facilitate the conversion of mine haul trucks to a dual fuel system
• I was responsible for the audit of the high pressure fuel system against the requirements of AS2739 and the QLD Petroleum & Gas regulations
• I am responsible for initial scoping of compliance requirements for new designs
• I continue to use my experience performing FEA for certification to assist colleagues with modelling and analysing mechanical structures.As a mechanical engineer with a passion for innovation, my goal is to use my.

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

• I was responsible for performing structural analysis using ANSYS Mechanical or FEMAP, for the purposes of certification by CPE/RPEQ. This includes preliminary hand calculations, geometry preparation in Spaceclaim.
• I interpreted and applied a range of Australian standards for both designing and assessing equipment, in particular: AS1170, AS4100, AS3990, AS1664.1, AS4991, AS4968
• Based on FEA results I provided design solutions to clients when their equipment was not passing the relevant load cases
• Create detailed 3D models and assemblies in Solidworks, create drawings for component manufacture and for assembly of new equipment
• Prepare quotes, for both analysis and certification project as well as design, modelling and drafting projects
• Communication with clientsIn this role I have honed my skills and knowledge of FEA, particularly the best practices for analysis of sheet metal and welded structures. I have become proficient in using ANSYS Mechanical.

Dandenong South, Victoria, Australia

• I designed assemblies and bracketry to install electric powertrains into truck chassis, work independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team to deliver functional vehicles
• Create detailed 3D models and assemblies in Solidworks, create drawings for component manufacture and for assembly of vehicles, creating bills of materials
• Perform FEA in Solidworks Simulation to ensure components meet strength requirements
• I initiated the implementation of solidworks PDM to replace the error prone file management structure and worked with my colleagues to deliver a functional workflow within the limitations of our software package.
• I created simulations to predict performance of the vehicles and electric powertrain, including gradeability and range estimates based off standard drive cycles and validated with data collected from vehicle testing
• Liaise with customers to gather requirementsIn this role I have been exposed to the challenges of getting a product from prototype to volume productions in an industry that is experiencing rapid technological.

Crestmead, Queensland, Australia

• I completed the close outs for the HAZOP review of a pilot gas storage and refuelling facility.
• I designed a CNG refuelling post that will be used to refuel garbage trucks.
• I have been responsible for compliance to relevant standards.
• Creating and maintaining a CAD model of the product in Solidworks and producing all manufacturing drawings
• Consulting with external manufacturers and in-house tradespeople to ensure the design is economical to manufacture
• Produce engineering drawings for in-house and external manufacturersThis position gave me exposure to product development in large scale projects. Being in this role has provided me with additional design experience.
