Designed and built 3 tonne structure for cooling and containing inductors for hydrogen fuel cell haul truckParticipated in build, integration, and testing of power plant and auxillary componentsLooked into configuration of in-process designs with future truck platformsInterim team lead of 27 engineers on the Mechanical and Thermal development of Ultra Class Haul Truck Fuel Cell Retrofit during a build sprint across three locations while Lead was on leave

Direct Line Manager for 7-13 people in the Mechanical Engineering Department which included Mechanical engineers, technicians, and contractorsMentored direct reports and helped them with their career growth and placing them onto different projectsPart of the Mechanical Leadership Team - helped significantly with hiring, growing out the team and developing processes for the department as the company grewTook a lead role to convert Solidworks PDM from standard to ProfessionalThen lead team through transition from Solidworks to NX and Simcenter and participated in rolling out Teamcenter as a PLM - developing processes and setting up trainings for all affected team members in multiple world areas

Designed assembly for cooling inductors for Hydrogen fuel cell haul truckConfigured different hydrogen storage options for future hydrogen fuel cell haul trucks

Mechanical Engineer on small team working on design and development of Concordia Beverage Systems coffee and espresso machines for commercial applications.Worked on the release of the Ascent Touch Brewer, bean to cup machine, designing chute layout for 4 different grinders in one machine, as well as cycle testing machine for various voltages, drink loads, drink sizes and coffee bean types.Worked on enhancements to the Espresso Machine, including designing of a thermo-electric refrigerator, plastic refrigerator shell, steamed milk system, and tank designs.Designs injection molded parts, sheet metal parts, and motor couplings.Designs for NSF approvalDesigns parts and creates specifications in SolidWorks.Works with vendors based locally and in China to ensure parts can be optimally manufactured.Works closely with electrical and firmware engineers

• Developed CFD capabilities in ANSYS Fluent to pair with calculation spreadsheets to predict and match nozzle behavior with pump curves• Uses CFD and calculations to do rapid, iterative prototypes in order to make quick mock-ups for Design team• Develops and supports pneumatic lift systems for fire and water devices• Facilitated offsite testing of large mockup based off of own engineering design by coordinating with internal departments and outside vendors• Designs sheet metal parts and then works with in-house manufacturing to ensure parts are cut, bent, and welded to specification

• Managed transference of manufacturing D&V product from UK to Romania. Instrumental in the start-up of an engineering design center; involved in planning, hiring, budgeting, training, providing team leadership and technical mentoring. • Lead design engineer for flow meter projects: Large Super Duplex Coriolis meters, Hygienic Coriolis meters, and Elite Coriolis meter enhancement. Managed Bill of Materials, wrote specifications, created and reviewed drawings.• Designed parts for manufacturing methods: welding, casting and EDM, ensuring materials, designs and manufacturing processes met international standards including ASME, IEC, PED Norsok, NACE, 3A and EHEDG. • Utilizing modal analysis, developed test to detect issues and track improvements for product that failed quality inspections• Identified mechanical limits of design on 6 products converted from analog to digital. Developed test plan and coordinated with firmware to develop cutoffs and digital filtering; allowing release without changing product specifications.• Executed non-linear modal and static FEA of mechanical systems. Performed hand calculations relating to material strength, flow, density, and pressure.

• Designed piping test loop, performed and analyzed data for Large Coriolis meters’ MID approval.
