As the Mechanical Engineer, I handle all of the engineering, design, process and manufacturing work. I have experience in large scale automotive manufacturing as well as low-volume/high precision and prototype work. Currently our strongest offerings are prototyping, CAD Services and 3D Printed parts in advanced engineering materials with +/- .007" tolerances. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

We are a small local business offering custom solutions and products to all of NorthWest Arkansas. Anything from CAD files and printed components to engineering analysis and process optimization, we are your go-to stop for specialized services. We partner with local small businesses to drive the economic growth of our community. The goal of Ozark Custom Products LLC (OCP) is to drive the accessibility of advanced manufacturing, on this planet and the next.

Mechanical Design Engineer in the Sustaining GroupAlleviating recurring manufacturing issues with design changes. Generating a more efficient communication between engineering and manufacturing by transitioning from tribal knowledge to fully defined geometric data through engineering change requests. Drawing interpretation to provide engineering support to shop floor in multiple facilities in different countries.Data driven drawing and manufacturing changes reduced frequency and severity of non-conforming materials by tackling the root cause of the manufacturing defects rather than constantly fixing the symptoms. Parts were made cheaper and faster by reducing the amount of rework/repair and scrap parts produced.Review of manufacturing processes to identify and capitalize on opportunities for improvements to safety and productions yields. Review of SPC data to drive specific efforts and shift controlled processes to improve yields at different stages of the assembly process.Tolerance analysis and DFM/DFA efforts to ease manufacturing processes while maintaining original design intent. Some of the products have been in production for over 3 decades.

Engineer 2, Aerospace and Defense Engineering Department. Currently building my CNC Programming skills with Mastercam 2020Responsibilities include-Creating CAD models and manufacturing drawings.Manufacturing Analysis of customer components. DFM for Tooling and Fixtures.Creating programs and fixtures for CNC Machining and ABB Robotic Welding.Maintaining up to date engineering and manufacturing data. Creating manufacturing processes to yield acceptable parts and meet customer requirements.Creating efficient programs to reduce tool wear, scrap and run times. Automating data transfer to streamline the programming workflow, increasing engineering capacity.Designing work holding solutions. Providing engineering support to the rest of the departments so they can do their jobs to the best of their abilities.

I worked for the High Performance Cable division, producing CADD drawings for testing equipment.Major contributions - 3D printing for cost reductions of up to 82 percent in prototyping and development.3D printed molds for cast-in-place photopolymer processing.3D printed threads now well documented and repeatable, down to M1.6.Designed test assembly requested by Molex in Taiwan, to be sent to other facilities in Massachusetts, Mexico and the Philippines.New manufacturing methods for continuity testing equipment.General Machine Design.

Machine Shop and Engineering Intern.I started with documentation and process at a glance. I then worked my way up to completing my first engineering project from concept to fabrication that improved production production efficiency. I learned how to communicate in a professional manner in an industrial environment and how to communicate with multi-disciplinary teams to execute the deliverables of the project. I learned the basics of yield manufacturing, casting, building molds, machining, and how to use SPC monitoring to improve CPK and PPK numbers.Major Contributions--Lead machine shop to increase Cpk performance by 72% and Ppk performance by 48%-Designed machine that allowed use of a newly purchased inkjet printer, effectively eliminating the manual process of date stamping
