Work Experience

Senior Mechanical EngineerMar 2020 - Present

Vanterra Industrial Systems, Columbus, OH

Redesigned a hydraulic actuator assembly using SolidWorks and ANSYS FEA, reducing component weight by 18% while maintaining a 2.5× safety factor, saving $310K annually in material costs.
Led a 6-engineer team through DFMEA and tolerance stack-up analysis for a new conveyor drive system, cutting prototype iteration cycles from 5 rounds to 3 and compressing time-to-production by 14 weeks.
Implemented a design-for-manufacturability review process across 4 product lines, reducing engineering change orders post-release by 41% and recovering an estimated $180K per year in rework labor.

Mechanical Engineer IIJun 2016 - Feb 2020

Cortland Precision Components, Dayton, OH

Developed thermal management solutions for high-cycle stamping presses, using CFD modeling in ANSYS Fluent to reduce operating temperatures by 23°C and extend tooling life by 31%.
Engineered a modular fixturing system adopted across 3 production facilities, standardizing setup procedures and decreasing changeover time by 37 minutes per run, saving $95K annually.
Authored GD&T drawing packages for 60+ machined parts per year in compliance with ASME Y14.5-2018, achieving a first-article acceptance rate of 96% across supplier audits.

Mechanical Engineer IAug 2014 - May 2016

Harwick & Solen Engineering, Cincinnati, OH

Performed structural analysis on steel weldments for material handling equipment, identifying 3 critical stress concentrations that were corrected before fabrication, avoiding an estimated $220K in recall costs.
Supported NPI for a pneumatic gripper product line, creating BOM structures and assembly drawings that reduced documentation errors by 28% compared to the prior product release.
Coordinated with contract manufacturers on tolerance and surface finish requirements, achieving on-time delivery for 94% of prototype parts across a 22-month development program.
