Create new designs and modify existing ones using inventor CAD software. GD&T, design for manufacturability, additive manufacturing, FEABuild and test prototypes. Responsible for all 3D scanning and reverse engineering activities. Lead tooth development projects from initial design and metallurgy, through testing and implementation.Liaise with external vendors and machine shops to produce parts within acceptable lead times and pricing per project plan. Develop validation criteria and testing procedures for new products. Root cause / failure analysis of returned parts.

Provided engineering build support for the durability build of a completely new sprayer machine, a multi-million-dollar project, the largest in the factory’s history. Worked with mechanics, supply management, and quality to detect and solve issues during the build and keep the project on schedule. Implemented design and manufacturing engineering principles to solve problems in real time. Worked with SAP, Windchill, Recon, Creo, Manufacturing Process Planner, Excel and more.

Simulation engineer for John Deere bulldozers. Develop and maintain a MATLAB and Simulink model of the entire vehicle that is used to test everything from new supplier components to vehicle electrification. Vehicle performance can be analysed without physical prototyping. Developed a new method of optimising blade design by running CAD geometry through a virtual cohesive soil model.

Research project 1 Designed the mechanical ground support equipment for CubeSatNB, New Brunswick’s first ever cube satellite in SolidWorks, selected materials, built bill of materials, sourced material and machining. Commercial off-the-shelf solution was 1,712.70 Canadian dollars, my design reduced cost by 92% down to 130.77 CAD, whilst simultaneously improving the design. Research project 2 Investigation into synthetic aperture sonar and Several projects focused on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) including artificial intelligence applications with AUVs and the unique navigation challenges underwater vehicles general research on low-cost Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) with an emphasis on ground plane optimisation. Courses include: Extraterrestrial Positioning, Advanced Topics in Ocean Mapping (focused on autonomous vehicles and wave energy), and Artificial Intelligence in Geomatics (paper and seminar on the use of fuzzy logic in autonomous underwater vehicles),Introduction to Ocean Mapping, and Oceanography, Tides and Water Levels

Responsible for presenting and marking all assignments / labs for GGE 3111, Introduction to Adjustment Calculus.

• Work with all departments to design solutions to problems affecting manufacturing and efficiency • Inspect existing devices to determine issues and salvageability • Estimate and plan project expenses and compare to suggested budgets • Utilise CAD programs (SolidWorks) and research to design and develop machines and components to eliminate problems and reduce downtime • Work to ensure projects come in at or under budget by researching alternative vendor, material, and engineering options• Generate spreadsheets including bills of materials, prices, vendors, and timeframes• Create and present reports and presentations documenting the status of projects • Communicate with machine shops and outside vendors to secure materials and machining within budget and deadlines• Utilise 3D printing technology to reduce expenses and lead times• Supervise the installation of new machines when working with outside automation companies• Reads and interprets schematics, user manuals, software programs, and related documentation to recommend equipment component specification and configuration. • Understands how components exchange or store information. Using the same skills, understands operation, interaction, and communication of plant machine and equipment operating systems and sub systems. • Design or revise parts, drawings or machine code for equipment and process improvement. • Knowledge of standard practice to specify, design, fabricate or modify automated process equipment, control systems, interfaces, data capture, etc. This includes understanding operating criteria, component specification, selection, installation and may include startup and debugging. • Utilises tools, test equipment or PC to collect and evaluate information and data in the course of preparing recommendations for change and improvement.• Write or revise equipment documentation.

Responsible for the assembly, testing, and distribution of all Internal Reference Units (IRUs) for the Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT) program. When I took over IRUs there was a shortage of units for all antennas. When I left, there was a surplus of units. I utilised 5S and principles of lean manufacturing to increase build efficiency and reduce IRU production from a full time job to approximately 25 hours per week. In addition to my job duties with IRUs I was also responsible for building and testing all other components and antennas built at our site when necessary. Within a few months I was able to build and troubleshoot nearly every component independently. • Responsible for assembling ,testing, and troubleshooting complex communications devices for the Dutch, Spanish, and United States Navies • Read, interpret, and follow work instructions and engineering drawings • Utilise various tools and instruments involved in testing, measurement, and assembly• Maintain accurate records • Work closely with quality engineers to ensure Navy specifications are met • Plan and execute work to ensure all deadlines are met

Clemson University Capstone Design Project Spring 2017Title: ORION Coolers Project Sponsored By: Jackson KayakDescription: Worked in a team to design and manufacture devices to drill straight holes through cooler lids and bases that resulted in a gap of less than 0.15 inches when assembled. The final product will be used by the company to reduce their scrap rate. I was personally responsible for: scheduling group meetings, writing and submitting weekly progress reports, developing design requirements, designing parts with SolidWorks, researching materials and manufacturing methods, and communicating with the machine shop to have the parts manufactured.
