About
Mechanical Design Engineer with nearly 5 years of industry experience specializing in precision sheet metal design, light structures, and mechanical product development across heavy equipment and consumer appliances. Proven expertise in taking designs from concept through production validation using Creo Parametric, Creo Simulate (FEA), and robust GD&T / DFM / DFA principles.
Hands-on track record working on-site with global OEMs—including Caterpillar Inc. and GE Appliances—driving New Product Introduction (NPI), engineering change management (ECN/CN), and VAVE cost optimization that has delivered over $150K in verified savings. Fully proficient in enterprise PLM environments (Teamcenter and PTC Windchill) for BOM control, Model-Based Definition (MBD), and cross-functional engineering execution.
Core Competencies: CAD & Analysis: Creo Parametric (Sheet Metal, Large Assemblies, Solid Modeling), Creo Simulate (Basic Structural FEA)
Design Standards & Methods: GD&T, DFM/DFA/DFS, Model-Based Definition (MBD), 3D Wiring Harness Routing
PLM & Lifecycle: Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, Multi-level BOM Control, ECN/CN/BCN Release
Cost & Quality Engineering: VAVE (Value Engineering), Root Cause Analysis (Fishbone/5-Why), Part Count Reduction
Domain Focus: Heavy Equipment Light Structures (Radiator Guards, Grills, Access Systems) & Appliance Enclosure
