Work Experience

Design Engineer at Essex Weld Solutions

October 1, 2025 - Present

Designed custom racks, bins, containers, and manufacturing fixtures using SolidWorks based on customer specifications, translating requirements into manufacturable designs and detailed fabrication drawings. Prepared fabrication drawings with weld specifications (types, sizes, locations) and GD&T controls to ensure fit and assembly accuracy. Designed fixture breakdown structures and process sheets to ensure production accuracy and quality. Integrated poka-yoke features into fixture designs to reduce setup and assembly errors. Reverse engineered customer-standard components and built reusable SolidWorks library models for cross-team design reuse. Collaborated with engineering managers, production, weld, and quality teams to resolve design and manufacturability issues. Supported prototype builds, product testing, and functionality evaluation of manufactured products. Delivered design projects within defined cost and schedule constraints.

Quality Technician at Essex Weld Solutions

November 1, 2022 - October 1, 2025

Conducted process audits and calibration checks on shop floor equipment. Performed first article inspections on in-house and vendor-supplied racks and assemblies. Assembled and presented first articles to customer representatives for approval. Approved first articles and fixtures prior to mass production release. Developed end-of-line inspection checks and assembly guides to ensure outgoing product quality. Created poka-yoke solutions for custom fixtures to prevent incorrect assembly and reduce defects. Collaborated with weld and production teams to improve process understanding and product quality. Participated in NCR reviews with management and supported corrective action discussions. Trained new team members and supported prototype and pilot builds.
