    Design various wind tunnels and wind tunnel components. Designs are dictated upon air flow requirements from CFD, customer requirements, shipping and facility logistics, structural and mechanical needs, and tunnel handling equipment.Revolutionized modernized and improved engineering department by implementing standards, procedures, department organization and the use of interchangeable parts/models.Dramatically reduced engineering time for product development, procurement, and project completeness.Developed procedures utilizing Solidworks and Excel features that allow a tunnel to be quoted and have hardware selection ready to be ordered before final customer approval meetings. This allows company ample time to make any final design changes for customer needs.Developed a system that allows custom parts to be created on a repeatable level that’s easy to use.Designate team members tasks to divide work evenly based on skill levels to ensure projects remain on time.Schedule shipments of tunnels coordinating with shop and customer to ensure proper timelines are created to allow ample time for shop development time, transportation time, and site installation to maintain project schedule.Quote products and negotiate pricing with vendors to ensure products are acquired at best rates to maximize company profitability.Design tunnels to production standards of vendors and shop to ensure products can be built and are produced with maximum profitability.Train engineers on use of Solidworks and designed product development tools to quickly and easily design complicated parts.Incorporated a companywide part numbering system which allows proper product management, traceability, and easier shipments through customs when shipping out of the country.Drastically improved vendor relations and communications.Create installation/assembly drawings for private contractors, shop personnel, and vendors to better understand component installation and fabrication

    · Designs and quotes fixed fire extinguisher systems for small luxury yachts and large commercial vessels by communicating with customers to acquire vessel information, relay quote information and help troubleshoot system problems· Redesigned company “Quote Master,” an Excel based program, by merging multiple versions and making the “Quote Master” a single company represented program which can be given to any trained and authorized personnel, such as other employees and distributors.· Drastically reduced quoting time by streamlining the quoting process and making the “Quote Master” automatically make part selections and fill out quotes based on system requirements.· Uses AutoCAD to develop custom Mechanical and Electrical Schematics for each and every job.· Drastically reduced schematic drawing time by developing a program to take the information from the “Quote Master” and implement it into AutoCAD to create mechanical and electrical schematics.· Increased the company’s image and reliability with quotes and schematics of large systems ready to be delivered within a few days instead of the previous weeks to months required for most large system quotes.· Ensure engineered systems will be estimated and delivered on time by closely working with other departments.· Use SolidWorks to test and develop parts, datasheets, and drawings to be sent out for manufacturing.· Save labor costs on the drawing/datasheet process by implementing the use of SolidWorks internal part/assembly properties for use on tables and title blocks to help eliminate errors produced from constantly changing multiple datasheets of parts.· Drastically reduced part costs by recommending the use of other vendor sources.· Joined major government contracted job to ensure its completion on time.· Returned projects back on track from being dormant by assessing what needed to be completed and seeking out the information and equipment required to get these accomplished and moved forward.
