• Modeling: I generate parts for 5 and 6-axis machining, focusing

  on aesthetics / ergonomics and the development of thoughtful

  and useful mechanisms while maintaining lightweight designs

  • Drafting: I produce 2D shop drawings for machining and assembly

  (tolerances, BOMs, etc.)

  • Prototyping: I collaborate with suppliers to support prototype

  fabrication and design iteration

  • Electrical Support: I work with electrical engineering to develop

  enclosures, mounting solutions and 3D assemblies for electronic

  components such as PCBs and wire routes

  • Industrial Design: Responsible for the physical / mechanical

  design language for the brand. I develop and enforce companywide

  product design ID and guide the team in adhering and

  maintaining these standards

• Use Solidworks to design machines for material handling lines, such as drywall products and other flat panel materials in the construction industry

• Utilize Solidworks add-ins such as Solidworks Simulation and Solidworks Motion to aid in design

• Size cylinders and gearboxes for optimum machine performance

• Determine chain and sprocket, belt and pulley specifications, and implementation of 3D models into designs

• Implementation of BOMs, weld callouts, and dimensions with tolerances

• Combine overall machine designs into large assemblies for use in general arrangement drawings

• Use Mathcad, Excel and other tools to analyze designs where needed
