Experience

• Mechanical Engineeer Franklin Electric · Full-time Jul 2022 – Sep 2025 3 yrs 2 mos Brazil ==> CAD & 3D Modeling: Modeled cast and machined parts, assemblies, and 2D manufacturing drawings using PTC CREO and SolidWorks. Created parametric models for custom Engineering-to-Order (ETO) products.
  
  ==> Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Applied hands-on CNC machining background to optimize part geometry, sheet metal layouts, and tooling to lower production costs.
  
  ==> Engineering Analysis: Ran FEA simulations on pump housings to improve structural performance. Conducted hydraulic and mechanical bench tests to validate designs.
• CNC Machinist Tibia Tooling & Machining · Full-time Feb 2022 – Jun 2025 3 yrs 4 mos Brazil ==> CAM & G-Code Programming: Programmed CNC milling machines manually via G-code and generated optimized CAM toolpaths for efficient production. ==> CAD Design & Modeling: Modeled detailed 3D parts and mold tooling, producing technical 2D drawings for fabrication and assembly. ==> Manufacturing Optimization: Executed sheet metal layout and nesting for laser cutting, reducing raw material waste and lowering job costs. ==> Precision Machining & EDM: Extracted and machined high-precision electrodes for Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) to produce detailed mold cavities. ==> Machining Operations: Set up raw materials and operated CNC machinery to hold tight dimensional tolerances and quality specs.
