• Interface with engineers, operators, and managers. Delivered, on schedule, dozens of gages verifying product design requirements.• Use Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing and math for tolerance stack-up analysis of many existing gages to verify compliance.• Use SolidWorks CAD software to model concept mechanical designs of gages and redesign drawings of existing gages.• Estimate cost and lead time of design and fabrication of gages. Manage documentation for product team stakeholders.• Assist product teams with a pragmatic approach. Design prototype gages for early development parts to better inform part design.• Communicate regularly with external vendors for finalizing gage drawings, fabrication of custom parts, and balancing priority.• Support repair of gages and troubleshooting inspection failures. Identify and resolve defects in gage condition or design.• Technical writing of test plans and procedures for gaging. Write software quality assurance documents for automated gages.• Mentor three new mechanical engineers, teaching design principles and guiding GD&T analysis of gages.Held US Department of Energy Q-Level secret security clearance.

• Updated GD&T and revised CAD models of sheet metal electrical box drawings in accordance with drafting and design standards.• Created assembly configurations for product lines with shared components. Corrected bills of materials and component labels.• Maintained document configuration control of products using SolidWorks PDM and Manage 2000 ERP.

• Volunteered part time assisting with mechanical design and manufacturing preparation for artistic consumer electronic product.• Revised housing and internal components using Fusion 360 to match PCB design changes.• Provided GD&T suggestions to improve machinability of mechanical components.

• Used SolidWorks CAD software to design a more ergonomic product packaging station. Sourced components and built new system.• Utilized interpersonal communication skills to understand operators' pain points and frustrations with previous packaging system.• Analyzed shipping database using Excel to target specific product categories for each packaging station to improve efficiency.• Eliminated over an hour of non-value added operator time over typical three shift 18 hour day. Estimated $20,000 annual savings.
