Luis Javier Alvarez Flores

• Led end-to-end engineering projects from concept to final product implementation, including design, iteration, testing, and validation in production environments • Reduced production scrap rate from ~50% to <2% by redesigning components, improving assembly processes, and implementing quality-focused validation methods • Acted as the main mechanical engineering reference within the team, owning mechanical design decisions and solving engineering challenges across R&D and production

• Organize and manage the workflow to keep production efficient and high quality, working closely with the procurement and quality teams. • Keep track of production and quality records to improve future processes (e.g., introducing a 3D printer process to create features, assisting both the quality team and machine operators). • Assign tasks to a team of 20 operators, ensure they follow work instructions, and provide support with equipment use.

•Designed and developed mechanical components and assemblies for thermal and HVAC systems. •Created detailed 3D CAD models and engineering drawings, applying GD&T and production constraints. •Selected materials and manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, fasteners). •Applied DFM/DFA principles to ensure cost-effective and scalable production. •Coordinated with suppliers and manufacturing teams during product regionalization projects. •Supported product lifecycle from concept design to production

Mechanical design • Assisted in the design & assembly of mechanical components using Autodesk Inventor (e.g. speed reducers, large industrial gearboxes). • Reviewed and created technical drawings based on ASME Y14.5M-2009 standards. • Managed engineering documentation with Autodesk Vault and used an MRP system for order revisions and releases.
