Work Experience

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer at MiG re Engineers, LLC
March 1, 2020 - Present
Lead consumer mechanical product design in SolidWorks, developing production-ready designs for metal-based mechanical assemblies and motion-driven products. Design and refine stamped, machined, and cast metal components and injection-molded plastic parts for real-world consumer applications. Build and maintain complex SolidWorks assemblies, managing mating conditions, motion constraints, and multi-parts system behavior. Generate accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) for multi-component products to support manufacturing and procurement workflows. Produce manufacturing-ready drawings with correct GD&T to ensure clear tolerances and functional callouts for suppliers and fabrication partners. Perform SolidWorks motion studies to analyze forces, torques, motion paths, and mechanical behavior of moving mechanisms. Conduct FEA in SolidWorks on individual parts and assemblies to validate strength, fatigue, and structural performance. Develop SOP documentation to support manufacturing, assembly, a
Mechanical Design Engineer at Chase / Hutchison Personnel (as shown in resume text: Huachie/Pete rson; parsed company name unavailable)
July 1, 2016 - March 1, 2020
Designed and documented mechanical consumer products and electromechanical assemblies using SolidWorks as a primary daily CAD tool. Created detailed 3D part models and assemblies for metal and plastic components intended for real manufacturing environments. Generated production drawings with GD&T, including tolerances, fits, and functional callouts. Performed motion analysis and kinematics studies on moving assemblies to validate mechanical performance and conducted FEA simulations to assess stress, deflection, and durability of load-bearing components. Built and managed multi-level BOM structures for complex mechanical systems. Supported prototype builds, design validation testing, and manufacturing handoff. Collaborated with fabrication vendors on machining, sheet metal, and injection molding constraints, and implemented design changes based on manufacturing feedback, testing results, and field performance.
