Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Jul 2024 - Dec 2024 • 5 mos

As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, I worked on the development of mechanical components, assemblies, and industrial products from early concepts through detailed engineering and manufacturing documentation. My work involved translating sketches, specifications, and design requirements into accurate 3D CAD models and production-ready drawings using SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and AutoCAD. I handled mechanical part design, assembly design, dimensions and tolerances, technical drawings, material selection, design revisions, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM). I also supported prototype development and prepared documentation for CNC machining, 3D printing, and fabrication. A major part of my role was making designs practical to manufacture—not simply creating a 3D model. I reviewed interfaces, clearances, fasteners, material requirements, and manufacturing constraints to help reduce design issues before production. This experience strengthened my ability to take a product idea or existing concept and turn it into a clear, accurate, manufacturing-ready engineering package.

Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Specialist

May 2023 - Aug 2023 • 3 mos

I worked on multidisciplinary engineering projects covering mechanical design, electrical engineering, CAD development, and technical documentation for construction, industrial, and product-development applications. I handled electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, MEP layouts, city permit drawings, mechanical parts, assemblies, 2D/3D CAD models, and manufacturing drawings. I used AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and EPLAN to develop accurate engineering designs from project requirements, sketches, existing drawings, and concepts. My product-development work included mechanical component design, assembly modeling, design refinement, DFM considerations, and manufacturing-ready documentation. I also coordinated technical drawings with practical project requirements, focusing on dimensions, tolerances, clear documentation, and designs that contractors, manufacturers, and project teams could actually use.
