Electrical Systems Solutions

Sep 2026 - Present • 2 mos

Prepared CAD and production documentation for fabricated metal products, helping turn design concepts into drawings and files that suppliers could review and quote. Modeled formed panels, frames, service doors, access covers, and mounting details with attention to material gauge, bend direction, fastening methods, and workshop capabilities. Created flat-pattern layouts and DXF exports for cutting workflows, while maintaining associated 3D models and dimensioned views for checking. Reviewed edge distances, hole placement, bend reliefs, and assembly clearances, escalating uncertain specifications instead of guessing. Communicated with workshop contacts about material availability and process limitations, then updated designs to match agreed production methods. Managed drawing sheets, revision identifiers, manufacturing notes, and file structures to make handoff straightforward. Prepared visual assembly views when needed to explain how multiple parts fit together. Compared customer references against supplied dimensions to identify gaps early and avoid avoidable revisions. Assisted with design-for-manufacture discussions involving cutting, bending, fastening, and accessible maintenance. Focused on readable technical documentation and consistent, traceable deliverables that support prototypes and small production runs.

Mechanical Engineering & Product Development

Steel Division 2

Sep 2026 - Present • 2 mos

Supported mechanical product development from early design briefs through detailed CAD documentation, translating functional requirements, reference parts, and manufacturing constraints into clear engineering models. Built parametric components and assemblies in SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor, using sketches, configurations, mates, and design tables to keep revisions controlled. Prepared dimensioned drawings with material callouts, tolerances, section views, and assembly notes for workshop review. Worked with sheet-metal bends, fasteners, machined features, brackets, and protective housings while checking part clearances and ease of assembly. Collaborated with fabrication teams to resolve fit issues before cutting or machining, updating geometry when stock sizes or available processes changed. Organized STEP, native CAD, PDF, and DXF deliverables with consistent file naming and revision records. Reviewed incoming sketches and customer comments, flagged missing dimensions, and recommended practical adjustments to reduce unnecessary rework. Contributed to design reviews by explaining alternatives, trade-offs, and limitations without overstating validation results. Maintained professional handover notes so production teams could understand model intent, part relationships, and open questions. Focused on accurate, editable CAD work that supports prototyping, quotation, and manufacturing planning.

Industrial Engineering & Production Systems

Design K • Full time

Sep 2026 - Present • 2 mos

Developed mechanical workholding concepts for repeatable fabrication and assembly operations, focusing on how components are located, supported, accessed, and secured during production. Studied part geometry, datum references, clamp direction, operator reach, and loading sequences before building fixture layouts in 3D CAD. Modeled baseplates, supports, locating blocks, adjustable stops, and standard clamping hardware, then assembled them to test access and interference digitally. Produced exploded views, part lists, and manufacturing drawings for internal review and external workshops. Coordinated design changes from production feedback, including adjustments for weld access, tool clearance, replacement of worn components, and easier setup. Used structured revision practices to preserve earlier concepts while preparing updated release files in STEP, native CAD, and PDF formats. Evaluated whether off-the-shelf components could replace custom-made pieces to simplify sourcing and maintenance. Documented assumptions, operating limits, and items requiring on-site verification so teams could make informed decisions. Supported technical communication between designers, machinists, and assembly personnel, prioritizing clear instructions and practical layouts. Delivered organized mechanical design documentation intended to make fabrication and fixture maintenance easier.
