Mechanical Engineer Colorado Springs, CO & Chandler, AZRotation 1: CAD/CAM Engineer• Developed program baseline documentation including detailed fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, and procurement control drawings using SolidWorks and AutoCAD.• Designed custom parts and performed Finite Element Analysis for these parts using SolidWorks modeling and FEA tools.• Effectively communicated design and analysis results to cross functional engineering team.Rotation 2: Design, Integration, & Test Engineer (Next Generation Interceptor Program)• Create 3D models and assemblies for flight vehicle secondary structures and mechanical ground support equipment using the Siemens NX 3D modeling software.• Draft and release digital product definition drawings that included Geometric Dimension & Tolerancing using Siemens NX. Perform drawing review and release process using the NX PLM system, Teamcenter.• Perform mechanical analysis to verify designs meet aerospace standards by considering material strengths, applied loads, & component geometry. Analyses also considered component and fastening hardware tolerances to ensure proper fit and function at worst case tolerance limits.• Prepared technical reports and documentation to communicate analysis results to program management.

Assisted engineers by using a variety of tools including SolidWorks, 3D printing, & the machine shop to test and validate the designs of various medical devices and cables.

Performed various processes for manufacturing printed circuit boards, worked with rework specialist to troubleshoot defective boards, and attended weekly intern classes to learn additional engineering skills.
