Professional Experience
Served as a specialist mechanical designer for regional companies requiring my
focused engineering expertise. Solidworks was used at all the positions shown below.
The following is a listing of the major project work I have completed since 2004:
• Slayer Espresso Machine Company (2015-2016) Engineer and designer of high
quality commericial espresso machines. Implemented drawing standards
and revision control to all parts, drawings and assemblies. Creation of all Bills
of Materials for assemblies. Negotiation with vendors, both domestic and
foreign, for price and quality control.
• Omax Corporation (2011-2015) Electromechanical Designer of precision
water jet cutting machines. Specifically, design of ultra high pressure water
pumps and automated solids removal systems for water jet tables. Headed
the finalization of design for the 10060 100HP high pressure pump.
Coordinated with manufacturing, engineering, documentation and
production planning to meet the target date for release of the pumps on
time. Implemented a file vault system to keep the some 200,000 CAD files
and other documentation used at Omax organized and revision controlled.
Both individual initiative and teamwork skills are a regular part of this position
to meet the project performance goals.
