Engineer for small but mighty job shop in Monroe. AutoCAD Inventor 3D CAD expert.

I am responsible for all projects requiring new designs, drawings and revisions. I supervise all aspects of the engineering department and the personell therin. I create and maintain engineeing standards and policies including drawing files and change notices. I review all documents prior to release to mfg.

I was recently move to the Prototype Manager at Huck Fixtures. I oversee all aspects of the process from design to material procurement to scheduling and costing. I also suggest and implement cost-cutting measures as the first articles are being fabricated.

Instituted and maintain QC programs in two locations. I oversee all product changes and recommend cost-cutting measures. I deal with quality issues sent from the field concerning our products.

Designed and expedited projects involving retail fixtures, shelves and supports. Created bills of materials and assemblies for all components. Worked closely with shop foremen to improve fabrication procedure. Designed and tested shelf brackets to accept ANSYS load calculations. Designs base on structural integrity of formed-steel cross-sections.Created 3-D models of all parts to ensure proper fit and manufacturability, and constrained those parts together electronically to complete working assemblies. Review projects for accuracy, customer specification compliance while maintaining design integrity.Promoted to Quality Control Manager July 2009Responsible for Quality Control programs for two factories: Wood and Metal fabrication. Design, implementation and maintenance of Total Quality Management procedures. The Total Quality Management procedure, Acceptance Sampling, in current use throughout plant. Enforcing and training of Quality procedures for all plant employees. 5-S structures in place in specific areas in plant. Daily inspections coving a wide range of products in different stages of production. Examination of all incoming material from vendors. Extensive organizing of Quality documentation. Manage production and purchased components of prototype fixtures.Promoted to Prototype Quality Manager January 2010Responsible for all aspects of prototype completion including design, material procurement, costing, scheduling, supervision of manufacturing process and assembly procedures, and final inspection of all completed components prior to shipment.Investigated possible cost savings throughout evolution from prototype to full production run, including vendor cost and manufacturing processes. Possibility occurrence of several customer prototypes managed simultaneously. Scheduling of material coming from several sources to arrive within set time frame. High stress, deadline-driven environment, with effective multitasking expected.

Handled design and redevelopment of existing products and improvements of machine components for the global pulp and paper industry.Worked extensively with manufacturing and project engineers to correct potential assembly problems. Developed cost-saving measures for existing products including material choices and manufacturing process changes.Explored alternative material choices depending on application

award in 1998 and 1999 for outstanding service and quality work.Completed unique customer orders, and liaised with the engineering department for virgin pulp and paper machines. Re-designed existing equipment to meet order specifications, collaborating with product engineer.Identified and overcame design obstacles though coordination with other team members.Operated on Unix-based SDRC I/DEAS drafting/design platform, and AutoCAD for translations and informational purposes. Developed cost-saving measures for an existing product line including material choices and manufacturing process changes. Organized bill of material formats while maintaining data using Metaphase and WIntergrate PDM software.Tracked the direct hours tied to each customer order with a excel spreadsheet as well as daily timekeeping and reported any aftermarket work on the company-made tracking software. LeadershipPerformed training in equipment, software, policies and procedures. Trained new draft team members on the required paperwork and standards per department regulations.Administered the procedures for translating waterjet cutting of bedplate patterns from I/DEAS software into AutoCAD. Oversaw several projects that required the leadership and supervision of two to four draftsmen.Checked the work of junior drafters for accuracy, compliance with specifications, and design.Selected as team leader charged with the creation of an improved product design.Worked with purchasing and applications to create a successful product. Contributed to the team of design drafters that worked to process a large amount of engineering backlog in a short amount of time. Assisted team members to facilitate their order completion.
