Jose — Mechanical Engineer

Focused, dedicated, and highly motivated professional offering a solid technical background. Resourceful, organized, and detail-oriented; able to learn and apply new concepts and methods quickly. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Mechanical Engineer June 2018 - March 2020 Ruhlamat Automation- Greer, SC (Permanently Closed) Research and develop fully automated assembly lines with Germany and China branch companies for various customers, (Nexteer, Bosch, Brosa, Hella, and Plastic Omnium). Review customer specifications and requirements for mechanics, robotics load sizing and time cycle, sensors, actuators/drive units, safety implementation, and tooling. Develop process improvements for mechanical engineering department. Advise sales and purchasing department on part application, function and Machining feasibility. Visit machining /welding shops and approve in order to add to the ISO list. Manage project's lifecycle through development (onsite plant visits), design (Autodesk Inventor 2018), review ( customer meetings), release Bill of Material (AMS) and supporting shop floor in assembly process. Mechanical Design Engineer January 2018 - April 2018 Kusterzima - Spartanburg, SC (3 Month Contract Completed) Provide support in research and development of heavy industrial machinery while implementing design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) methodology. Research most cost effective solutions for project completion. Sizing pumps to account for head loss, contacting vendors for quotes, preparing release quotes for purchasing, design structural frames for heavy equipment, develop assemblies with Solidworks 2017 and provide documentation to welders and machine shop. Oversee all research and development aspects for project completion. Senior Design Engineer - Hot Path Turbine Module July 2016-January 2018 Quest-Global Engineering - Greenville, SC Support GE Power in implementing cost effective solutions with optimizing, designing and manufacturing process of hot pass turbine modules, (blades, diaphragms, nozzles, bearing housings) and the implementation of alternate material coatings to the blades. These changes are projected to save GE Power more than 10 million dollars in the manufacturing process and future lifecycle rework. Used NX 10 to generate Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI); Model-Based Definition (MBD); Model-Based Annotation; Limited Dimension Drawings; 3D-GD&T and Enovia PLM. These material coatings prolong the lifecycle of the blades as well as make them more efficient, requiring a lot less maintenance than previous iterations. Mechanical Design Engineer March 2015 July 2016 Takata Protection Systems- Pompano Beach, FL Support product development research, design/drafting, and manufacturing of airbags, seat belts, seating systems, wire harnesses, electric schematics and testing equipment for various aircraft and ground vehicles. Provide CATIA V5 models and drawings and manage the product lifecycle with ENOVIA. Implement design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) during the projects conception phase, also Lean Six Sigma Optimization (LSSO) methodology in order to reduce waste and improve quality on the shop floor. Help assemble and test final product to conform for manufacturing. Flight Test Systems Design Engineer April 2011 - June 2014 CDI Aerospace Engineering - West Palm Beach, FL Research and develop flight test instrumentation for Goodrich A320 NEO and A350 aircraft engines. Designed advanced sheet metal and machined parts, as well as engineering drawings using NX 7.0 in order to secure flight test instrumentation for any given test. Some designs required electrical wiring layout, and also hydraulic lines re-route using Swagelok fixtures. Installations encompassed all areas of the power plant. Successfully designed and tested an Optionally Piloted/Autonomous System for S-76D Helicopter. Research, develop, and manufacture flight test systems for Sikorsky's, UH-60M Black Hawk, MH-60S Seahawk, S-76D, S-92A, and CH-53K, while maintaining weight and structural integrity. Address design issues with previously installed instrumentation. Design CATIA V5 models and manufacturing drawings of equipment to encompass all hardware, instrumentation and materials for the required installation to perform a given flight test. Types of installations include ballasts, Hydraulic systems (landing gear hydraulics, main rotor hydraulics, fuselage dolly), data booms, cockpit displays, antennas, slip-ring systems, unmanned flight systems, instrumentation racks and various transducers (acceleration, pressure, temperature, and displacement), thermocouples and strain gauges. Develop Tools for CH-53K heavy lift aircraft (Fuselage assembly fixture, walking stand, main rotor/transmission beam laser calibration tools and various match drilling templates), Oversee Projects from conception to finished Installations with the collaboration of Flight Test, Instrumentation, Structural Engineers and machine shop.
