I was a mechanical designer for the Clamp and Robotics team at Niigon Machines; my main roles were to develop new robotic components for the next-generation designs or optimize older designs to reduce cost and material. Overall, my experience in machine design stemmed from the knowledge I gained from designing injection molding machines for various applications: PET, stack and cube designs, and duel injection. Other highlights included: • Certified in ASME Y14.5M-1994 standards (GD&T); implemented standards in over 100-part drawings to ensure proper machining and saving rework costs • Developed and utilized over 10 excel calculators to conduct several mechanical component analyses (Bearing life, fatigue, ball screw life, etc) • Utilized Servosoft and Gates software to optimize motor and driving belt selection for various machining movements while remaining within cost constraints of the projects• Optimized castings and other components through the use of Solidwork’s finite element analysis add-on; this led to cost and weight savings of over 10% for all projects • Assisted on several small design projects to eliminate problems in the field through creative and quick thinking; implemented those changes on future builds to prevent issues from arising • Troubleshot with mechanical assembly team during machine builds to reduce downtime

Was the founding member for a student organization that promotes innovation and design thinking through workshops and competition called Designathon. Designathon is a weekend-long competition where students showcase their skills through, design CAD and 3D printing by solving an industry question over a 48 hour time period. In this time, sponsors have the benefit of watching the future generation participate in a fast-paced and critical thinking environment. In preparation for this event, the following are the main duties I had to perform: • Developed and implemented a preliminary $22,000 budget for 300 person event • Assisted communications team in acquiring sponsorship money for the club ($10,000 raised individually) • Spoke and negotiated with vendors to reduce costs for the Designathon event • Assisted other departments prior to and during Designathon to ensure all tasks were completed and issues were resolved immediately
