•Developed custom software to optimize manufacturing processes including engineering, purchasing, and production. This program verifies CAD data is correctly inputted, automates Bill of Material (BOM) generation and provides shop floor documentation (work orders, part tags, cutlists). The gradual implementation of this program has greatly increased production efficiency and purchasing accuracy.•Established processes, procedures and documentation to standardization operations of engineering department.•Cultivated a team of engineers focused on creating innovative solutions that improve efficiency and accuracy. This environment has allowed team members to automate repetative tasks (drafting) and decrease engineering costs.•Walked shop floor every morning to meet with machinist/ welders to learn/ improve future designs•Assist project management team with recognizing long lead items, critical paths, fabrication concerns and cost analysis•Plan, organize and lead weekly design team meetings to discuss budget, progress, man-power and schedule on all projects•Supervise all projects to ensure budgets and schedules are on track•Train new hires and develop current employees into self-sufficient project leads•Approximately five years of modeling and drafting experience using Solidworks, predominately using weldments•Designed maintenance platforms for military aircraft including C-40, UH60, V-22 (patent pending), E-2D•Modeled/ drafted steel structures for in-house fabrication, such as handrail, stairs, mezzanines and small buildings.•Interact with government customers in regards to contracting, design meetings, change orders, validation and verification•Assisted in other business activities including photography, drone videography, website development, social media content, sales efforts and trades shows.
