Senior Design Engineer with over 20 years of hands-on expertise specializing in mechanical drafting, 3D parametric modeling, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM). I act as the critical bridge between a conceptual idea and a machine shop floor, translating design requirements into highly structured, error-free engineering data. My core competencies focus deeply on heavy-duty sheet metal fabrication, structural component configuration, complex parametric assemblies, and top-down product layout. I excel at capturing empirical shop-floor data—such as bend allowances, material stretch factors, and tooling constraints—and embedding those rules directly into automated, robust parametric models and Excel-linked variable trees. Core Philosophies: Design for Reality: I design with a deep respect for actual shop equipment, ensuring parts are optimized for laser/plasma cutting, multi-roll plate forming, and press brake limitations. Parametric Integrity: I build fully constrained parametric assemblies with clean feature history trees, ensuring models can adapt dynamically without breaking down when a variable changes. Shop-Ready Documentation: I deliver meticulously detailed 2D fabrication drawings utilizing standard Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), explicit weldment callouts, clean section views, and exact flat patterns to eliminate guesswork on the production floor. Platform Deployment: Primary Platform: Siemens Solid Edge. Expert in structured, history-based Ordered parametric modeling, high-density assembly design, and production-ready detailing. SolidWorks Integration: Extensively experienced in the SolidWorks ecosystem. Fully capable of delivering high-fidelity, neutral-format geometry (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) optimized for flawless import and reconstruction within client SolidWorks environments. Licensing & Infrastructure: Native SolidWorks development is readily available for contracts where the client provides platform licensing, secure VPN, or VDI workstation access.
