Engineer

About

I'm an experienced Mechanical Engineer that has always been passionate about programming/automation. After years of saving my employers from hiring additional engineers with the code I wrote, I've now taken the leap to officially pursue this passion and break into Tech.

Work Experience

Raytheon ELCAN Optical Technologies
https://www.rtx.com/raytheon/what-we-do/elcan
April 2019 – August 2022
Opto-mechanical Design Engineer
Designed, prototyped, tested, managed, and supervised assembly of areospace and military optical products from craddle to grave.
Highlights
  • Lead the design, build and testing of a multi-waveband modern theodolite.
  • Spearheaded an in-depth investigation of a legacy program's 70% re-work rate and reduced it to the expected 3% which doubled profits.
  • Full product RSS tolerance stack analysis and applications using CodeV optical data.
  • Professional Autodesk Inventor user utilizing iLogic scripts and parameter driven design to increase design efficiency.
  • CAD system administrator & developed company's Design Standards utilizing iLogic to automate and enforce standardization; reduced initial design phase lead-time by ~50%.
  • Developed iLogic program to convert optical zoom positional data into accurate parametric models of smoothed barrel CAM paths for rifle sights; reduced lead-time of rifle scope initial design to successful prototype by 95%.
  • Developed iLogic program to convert CodeV optical designs into native Autodesk Inventor files; setting up tolerances, parameters, and key layout data to kick-start the design phase; reduced human error between departments by 100%.
Magna Closures

August 2017 – April 2019
Advanced Manufacturing Engineer
Managed and engineered the layout, process, and integration of new assembly/weld equipment into the facility.
Highlights
  • Designed test/weld/assembly fixtures, pre-production prototypes, wire bending cells, racking/conveyor systems, and other R&D components for manufacturing work cells using SolidWorks as primary CAD software.
  • Common: RFQ's, PFMEA's, DoE's, Takt-time layouts, robotic weld programming, and hands-on installation of equipment.
  • Built a Solidworks VBA program to generate component/product in/out racking systems based on takt-time. Script created full BoM, cut-lengths, and assembly instructions and eliminated the need for a co-op position.
Western University

January 2017 – May 2017
1st Year University Instructor
Primary instructor for two sections (256 students) of ES1036 - Programming Fundamentals for Engineers.
Highlights
  • Partially re-designed the course using modern tools: online generative quizes (upgrade from paper), end of lecture knowledge games, and game-design based assignments.
  • Received teacher evaluation score of 83.4%
Western University

September 2014 – October 2016
Graduate Teaching Assistant
Teaching Assistant for Mechatronics System Design and Introduction to Finite Element Modeling during Master's tenure.
Highlights
  • Received Graduate Teaching Assistant Award for Excellence during both years.
Chrysler Group LLC
https://www.chrysler.ca/en
April 2012 – September 2013
Advanced Feature Development Intern
Created mock-ups/prototypes of customer/employee vehicle feature ideas.
Highlights
  • Built department's full-stack intranet website with PHP and HTML5/CSS3 using SharePoint as the database.
  • Recieved Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters Scholarship.

Awards

  • November 2015

    Western University

    Graduate Teaching Assistant for Excellence Award

    Awarded to one TA per faculty & voted for by students. Recieved twice in November 2015 & 2016.

  • October 2013

    CME

    Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters Scholarship

    Awarded to a student with strong contribution to their manufacturing internship company.

Volunteer

Let's Talk Science
https://letstalkscience.ca/
September 2014 – September 2016
Volunteer
Bi-monthly science demonstrations/experiments at St. John Dearness Public School
Highlights
  • Kids would always ask the teacher when I'd be back.

Projects

  • GreenGuy.me: From-scratch full-stack Blog/CV website using Flask, SQLite3, and Bootstrap with automated elements. This project was an excuse to create and traditionally host a custom web app.
  • Project Minis: Compilation of random rabbit-hole side projects to display proof of competency.
  • iLogic Design Automation: Utilized Autodesk Inventor's iLogic (VBA wrapper) to write three key automation programs which ultimately prevented the need to hire two additional designers (Raytheon-owned project)
  • Solidworks Part Conveyor Generator: VBA program to generate ingoing/outgoing conveyor rack design based on importing CAD part (to get size/weight) and takt-time requirements. (Magna-owned project)
