Identified high temperature as the key driver of system instability, quantifying deformation in 316L stainless steel from 0.081 mm to 4.32 mm under thermal loading. Compared 316L with CFC, showing CFC reduced bolt-axis stress by 33% (24 MPa to 16 MPa) due to lower CTE. Developed high-fidelity FE models with mesh convergence to predict preload loss. Demonstrated frictional contact reduces stress, while bonded contact increases stress by 44%. Validated results between ANSYS and COMSOL, achieving 98% accuracy.

Modernized the CAD database by reverse engineering 30+ legacy components, improving search efficiency and reducing design lead time by 15% for new assemblies using Autodesk Inventor. Integrated purchased parts and assemblies into the CAD system for mechanical applications. Led cross-functional design reviews, aligning technical requirements from concept through production to ensure robust, high-performance solutions.

Engineered a precision CAD support system and custom fixtures to secure glass substrates during high-energy laser-based forming, ensuring 100% structural alignment and thermal stability to meet stringent technical specifications.

Spearheaded the delivery of precision 3D CAD models and 2D technical drawings using GD&T standards, maintaining a 100% On-Time Delivery (OTD) rate. I accelerated product lifecycles by 15% through cross-functional leadership of the Addax and Thomas teams during beta testing and design verification. Additionally, I optimized production logistics by managing BOMs and manufacturing routings within SAP, ensuring 100% compliance with ISO/DIN standards and assembly-line compatibility.

Led a critical data migration for the Centa team, converting legacy 3D models to SolidWorks to improve design agility. I modeled high-precision mechanical bushings for the Tollok project, implementing rigorous GD&T specifications to ensure 100% compliance during beta testing. Furthermore, I executed Engineer-to-Order (ETO) design workflows, delivering customized 2D and 3D roller solutions that met 100% of customer technical specifications and quality requirements.

Optimized product cost-efficiency by executing Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VA/VE) strategies, reducing material waste by 12% through BOM restructuring within SAP. I also managed a high-precision CAD migration for the BSD team, successfully transitioning complex 3D models from Creo to SolidWorks. Throughout these projects, I streamlined production workflows and maintained 100% compliance with internal quality control and engineering standards.
