About
Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with 20+ years of experience in product design, mechanical engineering, and custom machine design. Certified SolidWorks Expert (CSWE) with a professional SolidWorks license, specializing in transforming concepts into manufacturable, production-ready products through innovative design, precision 3D modeling, and engineering analysis. Skilled in developing complex mechanical and electromechanical systems for industrial or commercial use. Proven track record in design for manufacturing (DFM), prototyping, and full product lifecycle development—from concept and digital modeling through fabrication, testing, and final assembly.
Core competencies include product design and development, parametric 3D modeling and drafting, and Design for X principles (manufacturing, cost, maintenance, and functionality). Skilled in precision drafting, GD&T application, and both static and dynamic mechanical analysis, including FEA for structural optimization and performance validation. Proficient in SolidWorks with certifications in Mechanical Design and Simulation, and advanced expertise in SolidWorks API programming and design automation. Experienced in PDM systems and CAD data management to ensure efficient workflows, version control, and documentation integrity throughout the product development process.
Project experience includes: manufacturing machinery, conveyors, and material handling systems; integrated robotic and industrial automation systems; laboratory automation equipment and custom fixtures; medical diagnostic and test equipment; fiber-optic component assembly systems; valve actuation and control mechanisms; robotic end-effectors, manipulators, and vacuum-compatible robotic assemblies; military equipment design and defense system components; industrial silos, ductwork, and piping systems; as well as precision optical assemblies and complex electromechanical systems.
Capable of taking on full-cycle mechanical design projects and integrating seamlessly with cross-functional engineering teams. Skilled in creating innovative, efficient, and manufacturable designs tailored to application-specific requirements.
