Mechanical Engineer
CurrentIn my role as a Mechanical Engineer at DCE Solar, I specialized in designing rooftop and ground mount racking solutions. I have produced hundreds of preliminary drawings and manufacturing drawings for projects across the United States that would be reviewed and stamped by a PE upon receiving a PO. I am required to produce the most feasible design based on a number of factors, including location parameters, International Building Code (IBC), requirements from American Society of Civil Engineers, and International Fire Code, as well as fulfilling customer requests or requirements. I played a pivotal role in innovating engineering tools to enhance profitability and efficiency within the department, while also training new hires, and providing answers to customer questions and providing recommendations based on the specifications of the projects. My responsibilities extended to collaborating closely with Structural Engineers, conducting quality checks on the majority of drawings produced by DCE, and managing a temporary 6-month period in a leadership role, overseeing project execution and implementing improvements based on team feedback.
