Mechanical Design Engineer
Ultra Electronics
I was one of two mechanical design engineers that designed Products for the HyperSpike Line. As a mechanical design engineer, I was responsible for developing new products and solving problems encountered during production of new and old products. These responsibilities included the following:• I communicated with suppliers about new and old products, worked with them to resolve issues with part tolerances and supply.• I worked with suppliers to determine the best materials, corrosion resistant coatings, and manufacturing processes for our parts.• Lead the mechanical development of new projects and worked with other teams to produce a cohesive and complete product.• Managed the bill of material costs for products so they may be sold at reasonable prices while having good margins.• Tested products to ensure that they meet or exceed our customer’s standards and expectations. This included drop testing, water resistant testing (IPX4 standard), tensile strength testing, and military specification testing (MIL-STD-810G).• Prepared products for military RFIs ensuring they meet the required specifications. This included making changes to current products if necessary.
