WORK EXPERIENCE Mechanical Design Engineer I January 2016-presentHuntington Ingalls Shipbuilding – Pascagoula, MS

Cognizant Engineer for 41 systems across four different ship classes. Research, plan, design and develop mechanical products and systems such as aircraft maintenance

and service equipment, aircraft and weapons lifts, cargo elevator systems, winches, cranes, boat handling systems, and bulkhead closures

Conducted analysis of cost-saving benefits of anchor chain standardization across multiple ship classes

Use Autodesk AutoCAD to develop designs for new systems based on naval specifications and interface designs with existing ship structures.

Collect and organize previous company reports in order to develop cost-saving initiatives for vessels currently under design and construction.

Coordinate current vessel production schedule and facilitate communication between vendors and management in order to meet deadlines.

Communicate and build working relationships with outside vendors and customers. Use AutoCAD to incorporate changes driven by Design Decision Memorandums into existing

diagrams. Review and confirm vendor-supplied proposals for technical accuracy. Design and develop procurement specifications to be sent to outside vendors. Read U.S. Navy manufacturing sketches and communicate desired changes to management.

Graduate Teaching Assistant August 2015-January 2016University of South Alabama, College of Engineering - Mobile, AL

Organized and taught two lab sections of an upper-level mechanical analysis course, teaching engineering applications and analysis.

Introduced students to engineering software including MATLAB and ANSYS. Served as a graduate mentor for USA Cubesat, leading a team tasked with the structural design of

the satellite. Utilized computer aided design CAD software including Autodesk AutoCAD and Solidworks for the design of the satellite and ANSYS for structural analysis

Planned and implemented production schedule for the satellite design phase.

Estimated the production cost of building the satellite while determining cost saving initiatives and strategies.

Engineering Intern May 2013-August 2013International Paper – Aurora, IL

Diagnosed and calibrated automated and robotic equipment for improved operational throughput with 7% efficiency gains.

Safety improvement task force member, responsible for OSHA incident reductions and awareness in the plant warehouse, identifying and correcting risk opportunities.

Assisted scheduling and logistics with batch size optimization and quick changeover (SMED) technology for improved output and achieve 10% downtime reduction goal.

Drafted corrugated container design (via AutoCAD) proposal based on consumer parameters thinking both inside and out of the box.

Assessed and re-designed corrugated mock-ups and samples based on Voice of the Customer (VOC) analysis.

Aided Design Engineering to meet consumer specifications and requirements for product launches.
