EMPLOYMENT AND PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Novatek, Inc. Provo, Utah
Mechanical Engineer and Engineering Intern 2012-2015
Directed various projects through their stages of development, for example:
Designed down-hole drilling tools Pro-E and Creo 2.0 solid models, choosing the proper
materials, and coordinating with machinists to ensure manufacturability.
Completed drawing packages for prototypes to be made in the machine shop.
Manufactured various parts using the CNC or manual mill and lathe, and other processes.
Developed test plans for prototype drilling tools that were performed at a horizontal drill site to
simulate downhole conditions, for example:
Erosion tests to measure wear given different flow rates, pressures, and grit content
Rate of penetration, force of pistons, and flow rate measurement tests
Machine efficiency tests to determine whether we contract out or make certain parts in-house
Power consumption tests
Reviewed test results and made modifications to the design or direction of each project.
Coordinated with electrical and software engineers, machinists, and drill-site technicians in every
stage of development.
Managed interns in order to expedite each project’s completion.
