Product Design Engineer at Flex-N-Gate, Nov 2026 - Present · 1 mo, Warren, Michigan, United States, • Designed and modified automotive components and assemblies, including bumper systems, metal brackets, structural components, and plastic exterior parts for passenger vehicles. • Created and updated 3D models, mechanical assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings using SolidWorks and Fusion 360. • Used SolidWorks Sheet Metal to develop formed components, brackets, mounting supports, and reinforcement parts, and SolidWorks Weldments to model structural members and welded assemblies. • Applied DFM and DFA principles to improve manufacturability, simplify assembly, reduce design complexity, and support cost-effective production. • Prepared engineering drawings incorporating GD&T, datum references, dimensional tolerances, and manufacturing specifications. • Reviewed component fit, clearances, mounting interfaces, and tolerance stack-ups to support proper assembly and product integration. • Collaborated with manufacturing, tooling, and quality teams to resolve design-related production issues and implement engineering changes. • Updated CAD models, drawings, and product documentation to maintain accurate engineering revisions and support continuous design improvement.

Manufacturing Engineer at Logan Clutch Corporation, Oct 2024 - Oct 2026 · 2 yrs 1 mo, Westlake, Ohio, United States, As a Manufacturing Engineering Technician at Logan Clutch Corporation, I support the production and continuous improvement of high-performance clutches, brakes, and powertrain components for demanding industrial and marine applications. My work plays a key role in bridging the gap between design engineering and shop floor execution. At Logan, I contribute to the machining and inspection of precision parts used by leading global clients such as Scania, Moose Boats, Great Lakes Towing Company, Brett May Engineering (BME), and municipal water pumping stations. These collaborations span across marine, transportation, and industrial markets, where reliability and efficiency are mission-critical. I specialize in operating CNC lathes and mills (Mazak & Haas), setting up jobs, performing in-process inspections, and assisting with fixture development and process documentation. I also play an active role in identifying bottlenecks and helping implement lean strategies to improve cycle times and reduce waste. With a strong foundation in mechanical engineering, CNC programming, and hands-on floor experience, I’m working toward transitioning into a full engineering role focused on continuous improvement, design for manufacturability, and production optimization. My goal is to align innovative solutions with real-world shop capabilities and drive performance excellence for our customers.
