  Rolmaster Conveyors

  May 2019 - Aug 2019

  Mechanical Assembler and Machine Operator

  • Performed quality control inspection on orders of outsourced machined steel parts with reference to detailed drawing packages and basic GD&T principles which resulted in the prompt discovery and return of faulty components • Interpreted intensive drawing packages in the assembly of various specialized industrial conveyor solutions • Delegated tasks to optimize workflow during a time constraint when the disassembly of numerous newly built conveyor units was required to fix a welding error made in the chassis buildup which resulted in timely project delivery to client • Performed various batch machining and metal forming operations such as hydraulic axle cutting and notching and hydraulic pipe grooving and swaging in the fabrication of gravity rollers for custom industrial conveyor systems Show less

  Tigercat Industries

  Jan 2021 - Aug 2021

  Product Designer

  • Designed, documented and implemented revisions to the prototype TCi 920 Forestry Dozer, created and managed detailed drawings and bills of materials packages for delivery of engineering change notices (ECN) using SolidWorks • Designed a rear retrieval clevis hitch for high load towing and a protective sheet metal housing for the internal cab electrical breaker and harnesses, reprofiled engine compartment doors to remove interference with dozer blade cylinders • Developed proficiency in use of Tigercat’s content management system (CMS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems such as Microsoft AX and SolidWorks Product Data Management (PDM) Vault through routine ECN processing • Developed aptitude in making appropriate design considerations for meeting the capabilities and restraints of various sheet metal cutting operations and part fabrication processes such as brake pressing, welding and assembly processes • Performed dozer maintenance tasks such as refilling hydraulic ram cylinders to spec pressure with manual grease gun, rerouting cable harnesses during revision making and test operating to help fulfill required machine field testing hours Show less

  Motioneering

  May 2022 - Dec 2022

  Mechanical Engineering Co-op

  • Computed design and strength of materials calculations in Mathcad for structural components of tuned mass damper (TMD) and tuned sloshing damper (TSD) systems used in high rise buildings given simulated/measured dynamic loads • Designed a lockout and pull test system layout for a TMD project using SolidWorks, performed Mathcad calculations to determine sizing and selection of rigging components based on expected building acceleration and TMD displacement • Generated TSD paddles with DriveWorks and modified sectional geometry in SolidWorks to optimize material usage while ensuring all structural members and connections met AISC Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) criteria in Mathcad • Prepared design loads drawings and calculations packages for TSD projects in correspondence with clients and the structural dynamics team to ensure clear communication of design intent and timely delivery of concept design reports • Conducted finite element analysis of the lower tuning block assembly on a TMD project using SolidWorks Simulation, generated static stress and deflection plots and documented the results for 6 separate load case studies Show less
