Experience

• Mechanical Design and Production Engineer SALT LAKE MILL · Full-time Sep 2021 – Mar 2025 3 yrs 6 mos Salt Lake City, UT, United States • Configured EZ-Windoor, a parametric CAD/CAM platform, to match the company’s product line by defining master data (profile geometry, tooling, and toolpaths) optimized for millwork efficiency and reduced tool wear. Implemented Handshake to auto-update door models from CSV files, streamlining dimensional changes and accelerating production across most door profiles.
  • Designed parametric AutoCAD templates for common products not supported in EZ-Windoor and linked them to spreadsheets via AutoLISP, enabling any team member to generate accurate drawings and CNC-ready DXFs in minutes and dramatically reducing turnaround time.
  • Developed an AutoLISP program in AutoCAD to streamline the design of highly customized, non-parametric parts. The code allows user input and automatically generates accurate 2D sketches, reducing design time and errors.
• Mechanical Design and Production Engineer FIVE INC · Full-time Jun 2021 – Feb 2025 3 yrs 8 mos Lehi, UT, United States • Programmed SolidWorks VBA macros to automate repetitive tasks (e.g., generating new drawings with annotations and job numbers), reducing design cycle times and human errors.
  • Designed integrated aluminum structures, LED light blankets, and custom fabric covers that adhered to critical design parameters such as bar length limits, weight distribution, tension forces, and specialized attachments.
  • Managed the complete project lifecycle—from obtaining customer-approved conceptual drawings, creating cover specs (SVG files) for CNC fabric cutting, to detailing production drawings and final assembly instructions in SolidWorks.
  • Tailored technical documentation with manufacturing-friendly dimensions and annotations, reducing errors by aligning measurements with shop floor practices.
  • Engineered light blankets for light boxes in Rhino, ensuring even illumination and safe power loads, and produced detailed DXF files for precise CNC cutting.
  • Worked closely with 12 project managers and sales personnel to ensure designs met both technical and aesthetic requirements.
