Mechanical Design Engineer

Creative & Design

I am an inquisitive person who is continually fascinated with figuring out the intricacies of various mechanical systems and how I can redesign said systems to improve upon the intended application. I am seeking to incorporate my inquisitiveness, active lifestyle, and tinkering tendencies into my career.

Areas of Expertise:
Design Calculations
3D CAD Modeling
Product Development

Design and Development for Atomic Lay Deposition and Chemical Vapor Deposition tool modules
o Design for low to mid volume production of machined, sheet metal, and gas line parts and assemblies
o Manage in tandem with a cross functional team the development of vendor products 
o Lead all stages of Design Reviews, Design Huddles, ECOs, and Failure
Analysis
o Lead cross functional designs of mechanical/electrical systems including housing/mounting and cable routing

Management
o Lead engineer for the Low Florine Tungsten (LFW) deposition tools
o Manage and prioritize resources (personnel and tool time) for multiple concurrent projects at varying stages both in house and at company/customer sites overseas

Achievements
o CAD Superuser group advising and testing for companywide CAD upgrade
o Rapid design and build of direct temperature control (DTC) retrofit system
o Took vague customer problem statement to delivering specially coated showerhead eliminating customer issue

Mechanical Engineer III

Dec 2017 – June 2019: Left position to move to the Bay Area for my partner’s career

Microwave Radiometer Projects: Multiple miniaturized radiometers with marine and aerospace deployment systems
o Miniaturized radiometer designs by ~10x from traditional instrumentation size
o Designed using GD&T for extremely tight tolerance (±2.5 μm) micro machining and 3D printing technologies
o Designed, prototyped, and fabricated integrated radiometry instruments with integrated PCBs and microstrips 
o Designed, prototyped, and manufactured marine system capable of withstanding wave loading on an artic buoy
o Reduced aircraft system’s mass by 35%, reducing power requirements and increasing deployment options 
o Reduced marine system’s mass and size while expanding system features and reducing power requirements

My Initiatives
o Eliminated CNC thermal growth to achieve tight tolerance manufacturing requirements
o Led procurement, improved sourcing/ordering process, and launched an inventory management system
o Administered SolidWorks PDM, SolidWorks Network Licenses, MasterCAM, and Autodesk Fusion 360
o Implemented project management system to prioritize project specifications and deliverables

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Nov 2016 – Dec 2017: Contract Position

Product Development
o Designed custom insulators and heaters for thermal control solutions
of vacuum piping applications
o Reduced manufacturing complexity by redesigning thermal controller
PCB enclosure and electrical connectors
o Executed ECOs (Engineering Change Orders) for new parts and continuous improvement of existing parts 
o Ran POC, EVT, and PVT on heater jacket thermal systems and PCB controller assemblies

Manufacturing Management
o Transferred multiple products to a new manufacturer maintaining copy exact requirements 
o Iterated designs using 3D printing before sending parts out for overseas manufacturing

Aug 2015 – Oct 2016: Startup – all but co-founders laid off

• Designed mechanical systems of automated vault doors for a long-term
radioactive waste storage facility
• Built and tested a remotely operated gantry excavator for contaminated soil
• Validated system capabilities using FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis)
