  equipment support panels, ensuring proper bend allowances, flat pattern development, and
  CNC laser-cut compatibility for manufacturing
  • Developed fabrication-ready assemblies including machine guarding frames, equipment skid
  bases, and reinforced support structures, optimized for welding, bolting, and on-site
  assembly in workshop production environments.
  • Produced detailed manufacturing drawings for stainless steel and aluminum components
  used in industrial equipment housing, signage frames, and mechanical enclosures, including
  GD&T, tolerances, and material specifications aligned with fabrication standards.
  • Applied Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles in the development of custom fabricated
  parts such as brackets, housings, and structural reinforcements for industrial machinery and
  light vehicle modification applications, ensuring cost-effective and buildable designs
• Mechanical Design Engineer OFTY Energies · Contract Sep 2022 – Oct 2025 3 yrs 1 mos Cameroon Acted as the main design engineer on multiple R&D projects, coordinating design decisions,
  reviewing outputs, and aligning mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing requirements
  under project constraints.
  •
  • Designed and optimized vehicle structural components including chassis frames, mounting
  brackets, and suspension support systems, performing basic load sizing and structural
  feasibility checks to ensure mechanical stability and manufacturability.
  • Produced sheet metal designs and flat patterns in SolidWorks, including bend allowances, Kfactors, and cut-ready profiles for CNC fabrication and assembly.
  • Generated shop drawings, GA drawings, and detailed fabrication drawings in AutoCAD,
  incorporating dimensions, tolerances, material specifications, and standardized annotation
  practices.
  • Designed mobile charging station enclosures and electrical housing systems, collaborating
  with electrical engineers to ensure proper integration, ventilation, structural protection, and
  service accessibility.
  • Produced full engineering documentation sets including shop drawings, assembly drawings,
  and exploded views, bridging design intent with manufacturing execution for Chinese mass
  production suppliers.
  • Performed structural load estimation and component sizing calculations for vehicle frames,
  solar structures, and support assemblies to validate design safety and material selection.
  • Applied DFMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) principles in SolidWorks to optimize
  part geometry, reduce fabrication complexity, and improve assembly efficiency.
  • Produced assembly drawings, exploded views, and BOMs directly from SolidWorks models,
  supporting manufacturing, material take-offs, and procurement workflows.
  • Performed interference checks and design validation in SolidWorks to identify clashes
  between sheet metal parts, ducting, piping, and structural components prior to fabrication.
  • Collaborated with manufacturers and suppliers in China, iterating designs based on
  production feedback, cost constraints, and fabrication feasibility for mass production
  readiness.
