Mechanical Designer

Designed assembly fixtures to assemble a new type of dental braces to eventually be applied on to the lingual side of a human mouth.
• Developed assembly fixtures for dental braces, for upper and lower teethes using SolidWorks 2010.  Modified existing equipment for a newly designed lingual fixture.  Created assembly cells in order to reduce cost.  E.g., Drill press, drill bits, lamps.  Documented projects using PDMWorks as our data management system and using ANSI/ASME Y14.5-1994.

Designed gauging sensors and industrial scanners for on-line measuring and control of the manufactures product while using ANSI/ASME Y14.5-1994 std.
• Designed an X-Ray sensor and industrial scanners to measure weight and thickness of film material using SolidWorks and PDMWorks.  Assisted the electrical department to develop explosion proof panels; drafting explosion proof components using AutoCAD, Solidworks and ToolBox.  Met with customers and project managers to design custom machinery; measuring up to 10 meters long or per customer's needs.

Responsible for assembly design, sketching, part design, layout and detailed documentation for large BOM assemblies using SolidWorks.
• Developed mechanical designs for vibration control, optics and mechanics to reduce customer's production cost.  Researched vendors for competitive pricing, service and availability on manufactured parts.  Used MRP (Mapics) program for engineering change control.

Hired through a temporary agency, Peak Technical Services, Inc. to help document the release of a new drug diagnostic technology.
• Created assembly and part drawings using SolidWorks for the release of the company's main product; IMPACT system.  Controlled SolidWorks files, revisions and manage all product data using PDMWorks.  Assigned new part numbers to newly designed parts.

Hired through a temporary agency, Personnel Plus, Inc. to help on the documentation and release of new gauging equipment.
• Created welded assembly drawings using SolidWorks and AutoCAD for production floor use.  Documented new product with an extensive BOM detail including drafting of cable drawings and wiring diagrams.  Entered most of the product data into the company's MRP system.
