Expertise in Design
I am a skilled Mechanical Design Engineer with over four years of industry experience, specializing in various aspects of mechanical design and development. My portfolio spans multiple projects where I have extensively worked on sheet metal design, automotive and robotic harnesses, and weldments. I am proficient in developing IP rated enclosures and PCBA packaging inside metallic enclosures. My proficiency extends to designing Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers, creating intricate assemblies, and shaping plastic molded parts.
Familiar with global standards, I apply ISO tolerances and stack-up tolerances to maintain design integrity and ensure product quality. My design methodology is a fine balance between functionality and manufacturability, considering factors such as tolerance fitting conditions, geometric tolerances, and dimensional tolerances, all of which contribute to efficient, effective, and error-free designs.
In the realm of EV charger design, I’ve implemented standards such as SAE J1772 and IEC 62196, demonstrating adaptability to different international practices. These rigorous standards ensure the products are safe, reliable, and compatible with a wide array of electric vehicles.
My work in sheet metal design employs DIN 6935 for bend allowance calculation, while for plastic part design, I utilize UL 94 for flammability testing and ASTM D638 for tensile properties evaluation. When designing enclosures, I adhere to the IP Code (IEC 60529) to define levels of sealing effectiveness against intrusion from foreign bodies (tools, dirt, etc.) and moisture.
My experience with harness design involves using IPC/WHMA-A-620 standard for cable and wire harness assemblies, ensuring quality and reliability. I am well-versed with the design and development of robotic systems, including understanding of ISO 10218 for robot safety.
From concept to completion, I apply practical and theoretical knowledge, taking into account material properties, environmental conditions, functional requirements, and manufacturing processes to create innovative and efficient designs. Whether working on small components or complex systems, my goal remains the same: to deliver high-quality, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions that meet the demands of the modern world.
Design Support
- Within my Design Support role, I collaborate in the creation of components in alignment with both the Product Requirements Document (PRD) and Design Specification Document. This requires meticulous attention to detail and a thorough understanding of design principles. I also take pride in my ability to communicate effectively with suppliers, ensuring quality control (QC) and implementing Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) strategies. My work consistently results in significant cost reductions, bolstering our business model’s sustainability and profitability.
Production and Commissioning Support
- Provided extensive Production and Commissioning Support. This entails conducting rigorous unit tests such as Hipot, IP testing, and end-of-line testing, ensuring our products meet the highest standards of quality and safety. My responsibilities also encompass virtual support for project installation and prompt issue response, both crucial to maintaining seamless operations. Moreover, I actively assist in maintenance activities, leveraging my technical skills and expertise to maximize efficiency and reliability across all operations.
As I conclude my mechanical design portfolio, I reflect on the diverse experiences and robust skills I’ve acquired throughout my career as a Mechanical Design Engineer. However, I firmly believe in the ethos of lifelong learning. I’m driven by an innate curiosity and the quest for continuous improvement, both professionally and personally. To this end, I am keenly interested in advancing my expertise through graduate studies. I see this as an opportunity to delve deeper into the intricacies of mechanical design, explore emerging technologies, and challenge myself within a rigorous academic environment. My commitment to expanding my knowledge and skills will not only enhance my capabilities but also bring innovative solutions and value to future engineering challenges.
