Experience

  • Engineering Technician United States Air Force · Full-time Jan 2022 – Present 4 yrs 9 mos Ogden, UT, USA SENIOR ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN | 2022 – Present
    United States Air Force Hill AFB UT
    • Direct the technical execution of complex mechanical drafting, 3D parametric modeling, and configuration management projects for mission-critical defense sustainment and procurement programs.
    • Spearheaded the technical modeling and drafting overhaul for a high-priority munitions program, re-modeling 10 critical components, re-assembling 21 sub-assemblies, and re-creating 25 production drawings and 4 technical specifications; delivered 100% verified Level 3 TDPs 2 weeks ahead of contract milestones.
    • Engineered and streamlined TDP creation processes, driving a 100% compliance rate across projects with ASME Y14.100, MIL-STD-31000B, and DoDI 5230.24 to mitigate downstream procurement risks and accelerate weapon system sustainment.
    • Conducted independent technical assessments of organic and contractor-prepared engineering data, resolving critical design discrepancies to guarantee 100% accuracy and first-pass yield prior to formal data package release.
    • Assumed primary CAD engineering authority across dual major defense programs during critical workforce transitions, managing dual-program workloads to prevent operational downtime and sustain a 100% on-time milestone delivery rate.
    • Mentored and trained 5 engineering colleagues on advanced SolidWorks techniques, modeling standards, and Air Force drafting policies, directly elevating overall team technical capacity and design consistency.
    • Proactively engaged with program office stakeholders and management to align re-created drawings and specifications precisely with requirements, eliminating downstream manufacturing integration risks and achieving early project sign-off.
    • Directed 22 facility and infrastructure improvement initiatives alongside primary CAD duties, managing 14.1K in validated cost avoidance while maintaining a seamless operational environment.
  • Tool Maker Machinist United States Air Force · Full-time Jun 2016 – Jan 2022 5 yrs 7 mos Hill AFB UT TOOL MAKER MACHINIST | 2016 – 2022
    United States Air Force Hill AFB UT
    Programmed, set up, and operated complex conventional and CNC machinery to fabricate precision prototyping tools, custom fixtures, and critical mechanical components in compliance with strict technical orders.
    • Authored and tape-proofed complex CNC programs and work probe routines directly at machine consoles and utilizing GibbsCam software, reducing setup times and ensuring flawless execution of multi-axis machining operations.
    • Set up, operated, and maintained a diverse fleet of machine shop equipment, including CNC vertical mills, CNC horizontal lathes, engine lathes, manual vertical mills, and specialized fabrication machinery.
    • Partnered with design engineering teams to develop prototype tooling, specialized manufacturing fixtures, and innovative holding devices to guarantee precise workpiece placement and repeatable test parameters.
    • Served as expert technical consultant on shop-floor computerized data systems, providing actionable guidance to engineers, technicians, and contractors to resolve complex manufacturing and tooling design challenges.
    • Performed rigorous quality assurance inspections on all products and components, verifying 100% compliance with engineering blueprints, technical data sheets, and master drawings.
    • Utilized a comprehensive suite of precision metrology equipment, including Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), dial calipers, micrometers (inside/outside), bore gages, air gages, height gages, gage blocks, and pin/go-no-go gages.
    • Executed initial production and manufacturing planning, developing highly efficient machining methods and formulating facility, labor, material, and equipment standards to optimize shop workload capacity.
    • Represented manufacturing interests at formal project design reviews, collaborating with engineers to ensure drawing packages included adequate dimensional data, tolerances, and DFM considerations before production release.
