Manufacturing Engineer building AI - driven costing & DFM tooling at Fictiv

About

Why does a part cost what it costs - and how much of that is actually necessary? That question shapes everything I build. At Fictiv, I own costing accuracy and DFM feedback across multiple manufacturing processes, and I build the tooling that keeps quoting accurate at scale - pricing calculators, API-driven automation, and analytics that turn raw ops data into leadership-ready insight. My range spans traditional ME (DFM, DfAM, DFA, GD&T, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ANSYS, Creo) and applied software: Python automation for pricing retrieval, capability-database tools, and large-scale ops analytics. Earlier, I designed metal 3D printers (laser powder bed fusion) at amace solutions - work that led to a patent on a powder-spreading apparatus for additive manufacturing. I build the systems that make quoting better. Let's connect if you're a manufacturing engineer building costing or DFM tooling, or working on similar problems in digital manufacturing.
