Design & Reverse Engineering: Spearheaded a product development project to reverse-engineer legacy clutches, recalculating
dimensions and updating tolerances to make them viable for modern applications.
Engineering Analysis: Conducted mechanical analysis and calculated bearing life expectancy for the 6000 Series PTO clutches to
ensure long-term reliability and structural integrity.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Acted as the primary engineering liaison for the shop floor. Led cross-departmental meetings
with manufacturing, quality, and assembly teams to clarify blueprint specifications and resolve production roadblocks.
Continuous Improvement: Implemented a feedback loop from the manufacturing floor to engineering, systematically revising
blueprints and releasing updated drawing revisions to optimize manufacturability for all future production runs.
Drafting & Assembly Documentation: Redesigned comprehensive assembly blueprints, creating clear, step-by-step visual instructions to guarantee seamless part integration and error-free assembly.
GD&T Application: Advanced proficiency in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) under the mentorship of the Lead
Engineer, applying strict standards to manufacturing blueprints and legacy 2D AutoCAD to 3D SolidWorks conversions.
Digital Cataloging & Rendering: Managed a massive digital asset initiative using SolidWorks Visualize, overseeing the high
fidelity rendering pipeline for approximately 15,000 components (clutches, transmissions, gears, and repair kits). Authored technical
descriptions for each rendered part for the company’s e-commerce platform.
• Prototyping: Fabricated rapid 3D-printed prototypes of complex clutch systems for use in internal reverse-engineering validation
and external trade show demonstrations.
Systems Operations: Managed complex Bills of Materials (BOMs) and executed continuous inventory management updates for
clutches, brakes, and transmissions to align engineering data with supply chain needs.
Professional Development: Completed advanced SolidWorks training through GoEngineer, applying new certifications directly to assembly corrections and BOM management.
