• Undertook the task of designing and drafting over 70 individual true-position inspection gages in SolidEdge for complex Pratt and Whitney bracket parts (Whitcraft LLC, 2020). • Using SolidEdge, designed a unique indexing mill fixture utilizing a combination of existing clamps and springs, 3D printed parts, and steel components fabricated using conventional machine tools, which allowed for the proper single-piece-flow of titanium Rolls Royce brackets through a precise chamfer operation on a Bridgeport mill, using the motion of the programmed CNC to virtually automate the switching and ejection of parts with the push of a button (Whitcraft LLC, 2020). • Supported the brackets Single-Bend production line as primary design engineer, supporting the Brackets division as a whole by designing and drafting inspection gages and fixtures, writing work orders and process sheets, and updating Engineering Masters to reflect process changes (Whitcraft LLC, 2020). • Was approached regarding safety concerns over the basket in a wash tank forcing operators to reach over it, exposing themselves to the fumes of the solvent cleaner, and smaller parts falling through gaps in the basket’s mesh; designed steel hooks in SolidEdge so that the basket could be hung in a more user-friendly placement, and wrote a laser program to cut a finer mesh out of sheet metal, resolving the complaint in a matter of hours (Whitcraft LLC, 2020). • Worked on a cross-functional taskforce in a flow line for a Honeywell duct where the operator was being exposed to excessive noise. Helped eliminate the use of loud belt sanders and pneumatic deburring tools by redesigning the part in SolidEdge and working with the six-axis laser programmer to cut welding-bevels during the laser operation, negating the need for the operator to do so (Whitcraft LLC, 2020).

• Designed a mechanically-complex ratcheting tool in SolidWorks, including motion studies, which I later prototyped and achieved proof-of-concept for, and for which the company filed an Intellectual Property claim (PPC Broadband, 2019). • Redesigned coaxial drop connector components in SolidWorks, specifically the nut and compression ring, to save an estimated 30% production cost (PPC Broadband, 2019). • Spearheaded a product qualification process for a customer in Australia, researching test standards, recommending suitable environmental test procedures to the customer and executing them on the product (PPC Broadband, 2019). • Worked with a team to identify product failure modes of the company’s flagship product, helping with research and testing including fatigue analysis on flashing and plating types and subsequent corrosion buildup, and reporting weekly findings to the group (PPC Broadband, 2019).
