Mechanical engineer with 5 years in product design and manufacturing support, fluent in SolidWorks and ANSYS and disciplined about GD&T per ASME Y14.5. Passed the FE exam and accruing experience toward PE licensure. Took three consumer hardware products from concept through DFM and production, cutting part count and tooling cost without missing launch.
- Designed enclosure and bracket assemblies in SolidWorks for three consumer hardware products, releasing fully dimensioned drawings with GD&T to ASME Y14.5 and complete BOMs for production.
- Ran tolerance stack-up analysis and FEA in ANSYS on a load-bearing chassis, redesigning two ribs to pass a 1.5 safety factor while cutting mass 12 percent.
- Drove DFM and DFA reviews with the contract manufacturer, reducing one assembly from 22 parts to 14 and lowering annual tooling cost by about 18,000 dollars.
- Led an FMEA on a motor mount and corrected two high-RPN failure modes before tooling release, avoiding a projected field return rate near 3 percent.
- Modeled sheet-metal and machined components in SolidWorks and produced manufacturing drawings, holding tolerances to ASME Y14.5 callouts.
- Built and tested two prototype fixtures, validating fit and function against requirements before committing to production tooling.
- Specified bearings, fasteners, and motors from vendor catalogs and maintained the BOM in the PLM system across four revisions.
- Supported the production floor on tolerance and assembly issues, cutting first-article inspection rejections by roughly a third over six months.
