- Create conceptual and architectural designs of power collection system for third-rail passenger rail transit cars.- Develop incorporated design to fit within confined environment and reutilize componentry, reducing overall unique part numbers and components’ cost.- Validate design prior to tooling kickoff with in-house and external 3D-printed parts.- Design on-train overhead power collection pantograph for passenger rail transit cars’ overhead wire connection in accordance to customer requirements.- Implement design changes for existing designs of industrial power collection applications, applying lean approach to manufacturing. Resulted in reducing assembly time 25%, saving costs, and improving product reliability/performance.- Examine, maintain, perform, and update facility’s welding procedures, processes, fixtures, and qualifications for manual and automated welding operations, adhering to American Welding Society Standards. Improved processes and documentation for ISO 9001 guidelines and quality of welded products.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Us

- Oversaw all engineering/project activities for multiple consumer products and outdoor equipment, managing three Design members, CAD design, proof of concept, manufacturing release changes, and design release.- Provided project plans and conducted cost analysis for product lines transitioning from China to the U.S.- Performed engineering tolerance stack-ups on critical product components for manufacturability.- Created plastic and die-casting designs and selected materials for push lawnmower with attached components for high-volume production.- Developed and oversaw new product being released to key customer, conducting validation testing and managing Design group for various changes.

Burlingame, Ca, Us

- Managed composite laminate structure and interfacing vehicle for transit city buses’ component system design and maintenance.- Tested and evaluated composite structures and failures; developed engineering design changes based on calculations and finite element analysis (FEA) results to improve structure, reduce weight, and limit overall risk of system failures.- Coordinated engineering design changes, updates, and implementation with manufacturing, supply chain, and engineering for multiple subsystems, resulting in reducing costs, decreasing manufacturing assembly time 10%, and improving quality.- Developed and specified primary components based American Public Transportation Association’s (APTA) standards and SAE documents for a new and innovative vehicle architecture and ergonomics.

- Designed and developed a fixture for a new prototype assembly to reduce distortion and warping during welding, improving design’s consistency as a sub-assembly from previously generated designs, improving installation time, and reducing amount of reworking.- Evaluated design changes of door-hinge mounting system, using FEA to determine best possible location for welding an insert to reduce deformation during impact-loading situation.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Dk

- Performed cost analysis of new system and low-level designs and input on gas- and electric-fired heat treat furnaces.- Investigated alternative components for an assembly to reduce costs, obtaining quote for vacuum-powered system to pull harmful gasses from the ground to dispose of in an environmentally friendly way.

- Conducted and monitored environmental testing of transfer-case assemblies for systems analysis. Validated system to customer requirements and documented and reported test results to provide verification.- Collaborated with interdisciplinary team of engineers for initial launch of new transfer-case assembly. Assisted in overseeing assembly line to identify problematic areas that would reduce overall efficiency of the transfer case and assembly line.- Assessed quality issues of customer transfer cases that had catastrophic failure in the field. Contributed to determining the root cause of the problems and strategies to prevent future occurrences.
