As Senior Mechanical Design & Manufacturing Engineer, I bridge the gap between complex engineering concepts and physical production. I lead end-to-end product development lifecycles, specializing in 3D CAD modeling, Design for Manufacturing (DFM), and precision CAM/CNC programming. My role focuses on optimizing manufacturing workflows, reducing cycle times, and ensuring absolute geometric precision for aerospace and industrial components. Key Responsibilities & Expertise: 1) Advanced CAD/CAM Engineering: Develop complex 3D models and production-ready 2D technical drawings using SolidWorks and Fusion 360, implementing rigorous GD&T standards. 2) CNC Programming & Optimization: Author and refine multi-axis G-code/M-code and toolpaths for complex geometries, ensuring collision-free execution and minimal tool wear. 3) DFM & Prototyping: Conduct thorough Design for Manufacturing assessments to identify production bottlenecks, transition designs from rapid prototypes to high-volume manufacturing, and lower production costs. Key Achievements: 1) Cycle Time Reduction: Redesigned core components and optimized CNC toolpaths, achieving a 22% reduction in machining cycle times and saving over $45,000 in annual production costs. 2) Precision & Quality Control: Integrated advanced GD&T practices into drafting standards, decreasing manufacturing defect rates by 15% and streamlining the QA inspection phase. 3) Complex Tooling Solutions: Spearheaded the engineering and machining of a custom injection mold matrix, cutting outsourced fabrication dependencies and reducing time-to-market for new client prototypes by 3 weeks. 4) Flawless Project Delivery: Successfully programmed and oversaw the production of 200+ high tolerance mechanical components with a 100% client satisfaction and machine safety record.
