Parsippany, New Jersey, United States

• Designed valves and valve manifolds per customer and industrial specifications. Valve types included Reducers, Regulators, Reliefs, and Solenoid Valves. Products were engineered to withstand extreme environmental.
• Designed valve components such as bodies (pressure vessels), springs, piping connections, seats, solenoids, actuation mechanisms, and O-ring seals.
• Created drawings and 3D models of valves using PTC Creo (Pro/Engineer).
• Performed pneumatic flow, pressure drop, and force balance calculations for valves and manifolds using Mathcad.
• Experienced in GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Extensive knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, and DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly).

Montville, New Jersey, United States

Morristown, New Jersey, United States

• Designed weldments, loadweighing devices, digital encoder mountings, and rope brake mounting assemblies for elevator systems using Pro/Engineer solid modeling software.
• Used Pro/Mechanica software for stress and deflection analysis of elevator components.
• Designed electromechanical elevator equipment for seismic and wet environments.
• Performed stress/deflection calculations for elevator machine beams, hoist ropes, and elevator car structural components.
• Worked with vendors to optimize designs for cost and manufacturability.
• Performed engineering field surveys at customer job sites to measure for custom equipment designs and code-compliant elevator layout drawings.

Murray Hill, New Jersey

• Designed a low-cost, hot-swappable fan tray for use in telecommunications equipment using Pro/Engineer solid modeling software.
• Designed and selected mechanical components for plug-in circuit boards including faceplates, latches, connectors, switches, and LEDs. Issues such as tolerancing, cost, EMC/ESD, and industry standards were considered.
• Used Pro/Engineer software to design and draft cable assemblies for shielded and high-speed data applications.
• Used Pro/ECAD software to check computer models of circuit boards for proper component placement, signal routing, keep-out areas, and dimensioning.
• Performed hand calculations for force, stress, and motion of a circuit pack latching system for an ATM/IP core switch.
• Created engineering change orders using Agile CM electronic product data management software.

Florham Park, New Jersey, United States

• Designed an electromechanical contact system and a solenoid-actuated operating mechanism for use in an 800-amp automatic transfer switch.
• Used SDRC I-DEAS solid modeling software to design a “quick-make quick-break” operator mechanism for use in an electrical bypass switch.
• Used AutoCAD computer software to write an adjustment procedure used by factory personnel to configure a 2000-amp automatic transfer switch.
• Designed and documented the packaging for an electrical relay unit featuring a fastenerless plastic cover.
• Created and tested virtual prototypes of electromechanical products using Working Model kinematics / dynamics software.
• Used TK Solver and MathCAD computer programs to design and analyze mechanical elements such as springs, solenoids, electrical connectors, and flywheels.
