• 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 conditions.• 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).• Wrote technical procedures, reports, test plans, and presentations for valves and manifolds.• Interfaced with customers to ensure the product’s technical, schedule, and cost objectives were met.

• 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.• Reviewed consultant’s contract specifications for feasibility and proposed cost and time saving alternatives.

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.• Solved structural finite element analysis problems using SDRC I-DEAS and Pro/Mechanica FEA software.
