At SG Technologies, I led the design and development of machinery, tooling, and processes for the mass production of high-precision magnetic components and assemblies using powder metallurgy. My role encompassed the entire design lifecycle—from conceptual sketches and iterative development to hands-on prototyping and validation—ensuring optimal performance and compliance with stringent automotive standards.Key Achievements:▶ Engineered and optimised custom machinery, tooling, and automation systems, enhancing production efficiency and precision.▶ Developed a diverse range of manufacturing techniques, including standard CAD/CAM machining, high-precision Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), and polishing processes with hard coatings.▶ Utilised Autodesk Inventor for 3D design, AutoCAD for 2D drafting, and Vault for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), improving design accuracy and team collaboration.▶ Led the complete design cycle, accelerating product development by implementing rapid prototyping techniques such as 3D printing and manual fabrication.▶ Designed and implemented advanced measurement systems, jigs, and fixtures, ensuring products met strict quality and performance requirements.▶ Collaborated closely with cross-functional teams, chairing weekly engineering meetings to facilitate seamless integration of mechanical designs into production.▶ Mentored and supervised a placement student, guiding them in engineering practices, prototyping, and process development.▶ Applied Six Sigma and Design of Experiments (DOE) methodologies, optimising manufacturing processes and reducing production variability.▶ Ensured adherence to Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QC/QA) standards, maintaining high-quality outputs upon release to the production environment.
