Lead mechanical product design engineer delivering production-ready 3D CAD models, complex assemblies, and tooling prep for hardware startups and industrial clients. Specialized in plastic injection molding, sheet metal enclosures, and precision CNC components using SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor. Key Responsibilities & Accomplishments: • Engineered 35+ injection-molded enclosures applying rigorous DFM practices (draft angle analysis, uniform wall thickness, rib structure placement, and mold core/cavity separation). • Designed sheet metal structural chassis and mounting hardware with accurate k-factor bend allowances for automated CNC laser cutting and press brake forming. • Produced full 2D production drawing packages compliant with ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards, conducting detailed tolerance stack-up analyses to ensure zero assembly clash. • Conducted DFM/DFA reviews with domestic and overseas toolmakers, utilizing Moldflow simulation data to optimize gate locations and eliminate sink marks. • Validated complex mechanical linkages and multi-part assemblies using FDM/SLA 3D printing and rapid prototype testing prior to hard tooling sign-off.
