- Designs equipment for the snack food industry.- Analyzes other engineers' work via ANSYS and other engineering techniques.- Troubleshoots manufacturing dilemmas.

Managed refinery cyclone projects for various clients in the petroleum industry.• Managed a dozen or more projects at a time ranging from $50K to $5 million. • Interacted with the clients on a daily basis regarding delivery schedules, fabrication schedules, and troubleshooting.• Have spent nearly 6 months in Quebec, Canada providing daily reports and expediting projects.• Assisted in designing hanger straps that support the cyclones in a vessel

Developed and formulated new product ideas for the off-highway transportation industry.•Acquired problematic latch for new rotary latch program. Latch required extensive redesign, testing, validation, and use of NX 5.0 and Advanced Spring Design software. Validated and launched latch, which has projected revenue of $50 thousand per year at $3 a piece.•Formulated and prototyped a friction hinge system using NX 5.0 for an ambulance manufacturer in a week, which typically takes months. Potential new business was projected at $50 thousand.•Created a friction hinge for an aerospace firm whose revenue potential is $2 million while following the PRO-04 design system and utilizing NX 5.0 and Pro-E Wildfire 2.0.•Designed robust lockplugs using NX 5.0 to replace a failing product line for a construction equipment manufacturer projected to be worth $1 million.

•Increased the robustness of an innovative deadbolt and latch design to withstand Grade 1 testing. Used Pro/MECHANICA and Pro-E Mechanisms. •Designed and implemented an entirely new product line projected to make $3.4 million in a brand new market using Pro-E Wildfire 3.0 in 3 months while still learning the job. •Formulated and tested a new torsion spring to replace a spring that failed testing 50% of the time. Increased product life from 3.5 years to 28 years. Used Wildfire 3.0 and Advanced Spring Design.

•Validated manufacturing process of Ultra Vit vitrectomy probe and a new fiber optic product line to FDA requirements, which allowed Alcon to produce products. Performed design reviews for new product with design team and recommended improvements.•Troubleshot an automation problem, which reduced assembly failures from 30%+ to almost nonexistent.•Conducted investigation into a failure that affected a whole, hand-built product line, which caused catastrophic failures in the field. Essentially eliminated all failures.

•Wrote and revised dozens of specifications and SOPs for the manufacture of naval shell-and-tube condensers to increase consistent productivity and quality of product. •Performed inspections and testing to maintain the quality of product worth over $100 thousand per assembly.

Maintained production of operation and created new product as needed to reduce cost. •Solved a quality problem affecting an entire product line that resulted in improved efficiency and more quality product. This problem involved: •Negotiated with the vendors for over $1+ million of defective product. •Introduced a new quality system for only $10,000 that detected bad product more efficiently.•Designed and implemented a bracket that replaced three brackets, which reduced material and labor costs 90%.
