At Huntington Mechanical Labs (prior to being acquired by Global Precision Manufacturing and now dba Huntington Vacuum Products), they were an OEM manufacturer, that design and build high and ultra-high vacuum equipment and systems (chambers, valves, manipulators, plumbing components) for research and development disciplines, medical, semiconductor industries, and various practical applications. I contributed to Huntington’s success in the following ways:• Designing, drafting, and analysis utilizing Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk’s PLM program, Vault.• Product documentation for the manufacturing, assembly, use, maintenance, and safety. • Standard product design and redesign.• New product development for both low and medium volume production.• Custom product development through direct customer interaction to meet the customer’s needs.• Fixture and tooling design with a focus to provide designs that are self fixturing whenever possible to aid in the ease of manufacturing and assembly.• Design of welded vessels of any shape and size for use in ultra-high vacuum environments.• Working with our procurement department to obtain the best hardware at the best price for our products.• Interfacing directly with our machinists, welders, assembly, quality assurance, and production teams, to develop the best designs and plans for cost effectiveness, manufacturability, and most importantly to maintain HML’s reputation for quality.
