  Baymar Solutions

  Feb 2012 - Jul 2012

  Mechanical Engineer - Contract

  Baymar Engineering is an engineering firm focusing on product development solutions, primarily serving highly regulated industries such as medical device, defense, and aerospace industries.Primarily worked on the design transfer of an automated tissue stainer. Work involved design changes to parts to increase manufacturability and decrease cost, while also designing for assembly (DFM & DFA). Made drawings of parts to be sent to the manufacturer (dimensioned using GD&T under ASME Y14.5), as well as designed and defined their packaging. Worked extensively on the creation of Manufacturing Work Instructions defining the assembly process, methods, and specifications for the tissue stainer. • Part re-design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM & DFA)• Created part drawings using GD&T (ASMEY14.5)• Designed and defined supplier packaging.• Designed Layout and routing of electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic tubing through the machine.

  Baymar Solutions

  May 2014 - now

  Headed design projects all the way from meeting with prospective customers through to setting up manufacturing of a finished product. Designed, manufactured, tested, implemented and documented several fully automated and semi-automated machines used to fill, bond, and assemble liquid filled capsules.Worked with Medical Professionals and Business Owners to develop novel surgical aides as well as wearable health monitors for assisted living facilities. Years of experience in various manufacturing methods helped to design for manufacturability ( DFM ) and cost-efficiency, while also maximizing the durability and quality of the finished product.Worked with customers in the Defense and Aerospace industry to develop lockouts for explosive batteries as well as more rigorous testing and qualification methodologies for aerospace parts. Worked with customers in the medical instrument industry to develop high-accuracy calibration tools and processes as well as redesigning optical lens focus systems for faster speed and higher accuracy.
