Andrew Peroutka

Product Ownership

• Designed and launched a complete product from concept through production and market release

Design Improvement & Manufacturability

• Led design change to rubber component, resolving sink marks and tearing during molding
• Collaborated with manufacturing and quality to validate design effectiveness in production

Analysis & Risk Mitigation

• Performed strength and factor-of-safety analysis related to a consumer liability investigation
• Demonstrated failure was unlikely under normal operating conditions, supporting product defensibility

FEA-Driven Cost Savings

• Conducted SolidWorks FEA on proposed design modification
• Determined change would not improve performance, avoiding unnecessary tooling costs

Quality & Standards

• Manage product quality through regular fitment evaluations
• Verified compliance with ASSE standards, codes, and internal requirements

CAD / Modeling Excellence

• Rebuilt and reorganized complex legacy CAD models, enhancing usability and robustness for downstream manufacturing support
• Recognized by senior leadership, including the company president, for modeling quality and design organization
• Selected to mentor and potentially train other engineers on CAD best practices

• Utilized CAD software including SolidWorks, Creo Parametric, and AutoCAD for part design, modification, and assembly modeling, enhancing design accuracy.
• Designed and reverse-engineered replacement parts and machine components to support production reliability and process improvements.
• Created rapid prototypes using 3D printing to validate designs before final production, improving speed and accuracy of design implementation.
• Applied critical thinking, mechanical analysis, and problem-solving skills to develop practical, cost-effective solutions to engineering challenges.
• Participated in continuous improvement initiatives, analyzing manufacturing and operational processes to identify inefficiencies and propose engineering solutions that streamlined operations.
• Collaborated with cross-functional teams to ensure designs met manufacturing requirements and functional specifications, aligning operational constraints with project goals.
