Mechanical Engineer with 8+ years across product development and sustaining engineering for industrial equipment. Took 6 assemblies from concept to production, cut part cost by 22% on a high-volume housing, and reduced field warranty claims on a problem subassembly from 940 to 110 a year. Backs every design decision with test data rather than simulation alone.
Coursework in Machine Design, Materials, Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, and Finite Element Analysis.
Licence current; also holds a GD&T certification through the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
- Own mechanical design for 3 product lines shipping about 24,000 units a year, from concept through production release.
- Cut part cost by 22% on a high-volume housing by consolidating 7 components into 2 and moving to a die-cast process.
- Reduced field warranty claims on a problem subassembly from 940 to 110 a year after a root cause analysis found a fatigue crack.
- Designed 4 assemblies that reached production, releasing about 180 drawings across the period.
- Led a weight reduction programme that took 6.4 kilograms out of a frame assembly, worth $310,000 a year in material.
- Ran durability testing on 9 prototypes, and the resulting design changes closed 14 of 16 identified failure modes.
- Built finite element models for 5 bracket designs and correlated results against physical test on 3 of them.
- Updated 40 legacy drawings to current GD&T standards after an audit found tolerance callouts that could not be inspected.
- Documented a test procedure for a fixture that the engineering team adopted for 6 subsequent programmes.
Housing Cost Reduction. Consolidated 7 sheet metal and fastener components into 2 die-cast parts after a teardown showed assembly labour dominated the cost. Part cost fell 22% and assembly time dropped by 4 minutes per unit across 24,000 units a year.
Warranty Root Cause Investigation. Traced a recurring field failure to a fatigue crack initiating at an undersized fillet, using returned parts and correlated finite element analysis. Warranty claims on the subassembly fell from 940 to 110 a year.
Frame Weight Programme. Reworked a frame assembly through material substitution and topology-informed rib redesign, validated on 3 durability rigs. Removed 6.4 kilograms per unit, worth about $310,000 a year in material cost.
- Mentor a high school robotics team of 24 students through a 6-week build season each year.
- Member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, serving on the local section programme committee.
- Volunteer engineering advisor for an assistive device charity, reviewing 4 designs a year at no charge.
- Lead design reviews for 3 product lines, chairing 22 reviews a year across engineering, manufacturing, and quality.
- Mentor 3 junior engineers, 2 of whom now own their own assemblies through to production release.
- Set the drawing and GD&T standard the department works to, which cut supplier clarification requests by roughly half.
