As a Mechanical Design Engineer, I specialized in the design and development of innovative mechanical solutions, leveraging a strong foundation in CAD design and programming. My responsibilities included:Mechanical Design & CAD Management: Organized, updated, and maintained CAD files using DraftSight, AutoCAD, and SolidWorks, ensuring all design documentation was up-to-date and accessible for ongoing and future projects.Research & Development (R&D): Led multiple R&D projects, including the development of cutting-edge technology that integrated microcontrollers, coding, and wiring. Conducted extensive research to support the company's strategic goals in expanding product offerings.Technology Innovation: Spearheaded the design and development of an automatic valve system with vehicle recognition capabilities, a key product innovation for the company. Took the project from initial concept through to successful implementation and production.Cost Savings & Optimization: Designed a custom camera harness that significantly reduced costs by $800 per unit compared to previously outsourced cables. This cost-saving measure was achieved by transitioning from purchased CAT cables to in-house manufacturing.Collaboration & Leadership: Collaborated closely with project managers and fellow engineers to align project goals and timelines. Provided technical guidance and leadership in all R&D projects, ensuring seamless execution from ideation to deployment.Software Proficiency: Utilized a variety of software tools, including MATLAB for data analysis and simulation, to optimize designs and support project requirements.My contributions resulted in several successful product launches and cost-saving initiatives, reinforcing the company’s reputation for innovation and quality in mechanical design.
