Matthew — Senior Mechanical Engineer

I have been using SolidWorks since 2007. First academically including a certification through Dassault Systemes, then a few professional projects with JR Automation, and I have used this program exclusively since 2017. Projects have ranged from small fixtures and stand-alone stations to full conveyor systems and large cells with dozens of robots. I utilize a robust top-down design strategy with common skeletons to produce complex and robust assemblies. I have also done a great deal of data management in SolidWorks.

2D AutoCAD is a staple for designers in conveying information. Most of the 2D work done in AutoCAD that I do now is adjusting facility layouts and correcting prints.

I have used Microsoft Office Suite products for developing, managing, and tracking projects. I have also used Microsoft Suite in conjunction with other platforms such as Google products and Adobe products to develop more user-friendly products for companies.

While at JR Automation I used Creo. I developed a lot of my modeling practices in Creo over the next 5 years top-down with skeletons. I designed quite a few projects with the software resulting in robust models and happy customers.

Using Adobe Acrobat, I have created many fillable forms, process documents, and risk assessments. I have also used Adobe Suite to edit drone footage I captured after earning the FAA Part 107 drone certification as well as correcting photographs for real estate.

In 2017, I was asked to simulate a exhaust forming cell in Roboguide for a customer. The cell contained (4) tube dispensers, (3) robots on transfer units, (2) material handling robots (1) 5-ton press, and (1) 90-ton hydro-forming press. I then simulated a few smaller projects I was designing for developing the layout and optimizing cycle times and evaluating crash conditions. While with IPM, I used Pallet Tool to evaluate a packaging cell.

Throughout college Ansys (structural analysis and CFD) was essential to analyzing designs and systems. As a part of Creo I used Ansys on occation to test the inegrity of designs.

I have done a few heat staking cells assembling plastics. I have done a couple window molding cells with numerous clips and runners and spur nippers. I have designed many welding assembly stations where MIG/Studs/Nuts/brackets were added. I worked on a team assembling a flow control metering device with minimal cycle time.

I have designed exhaust tube stations utilizing a vertical trunnion and cutting holes and welding on mount brackets. The station included slug detection.

I have designed a large axle production cell including maching, inspecting, and laser etching.

I have designed many (2) or (3) MIG welding robot cells that utilize a standard trunnion on an index table using the robot's aux axis to control the trunnions. Additionally, I have incorporated MIG welding into assembly and weld lines using pass throughs for light protection.

I have designed many packaging lines both robotic and conveyor driven.

I have designed cells that stack heavy duty axels in pallets and others stacking bottles and carton boxes for the dairy industry.

I have been using CAD and solid modeling software since 2007

I have developed and maintained training programs in the military for 100+ airmen.

I have designed many robotic welders including projection stud/nut, resistance spot, and arc welding.
