  • Also learned how to use Oscar for tasks and PLM tracking and creating a BOM for drawings.

Mechanical Designer

Belcan Engineering Inc.
06.2017 - 03.2019
  • Our mechanical engineering team provided end-to-end engineering services from conceptual design to aftermarket support. Most support from our team specifically worked with military and commercial Honeywell aerospace products.
  • Creating and revising test rig complex design concepts, from layouts, detailing drawings by customer’s specific requests
  • Assuring that detail parts and assemblies can be made and that parts and components will fit or interface properly within limits or allowable tolerances
  • Maintaining records, files, drawings, part lists using Teamcenter, specifications, standards or other data essential to the completion of engineering drawings as required
  • Verifying completed work checking dimensions, making mathematical calculations as required using handbooks and catalogs in support of drafting calculations, materials used and quantities.
  • Data mining to analyze large databases in order to generate new information for Belcan.

Mechanical Designer

Collaberra / Honeywell Inc.
05.2015 - 11.2015
  • Our mechanical engineering team was responsible for the design of gas turbine engine externals and customer installations
  • The products include APU's and APU Installation Kits (AIK's), Turbofan and Nacelle systems, Turboshaft, and Turboprop
  • Most of my experience has been supporting the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) group
  • Responsibilities included working with the internal and external installations of the APU creating a 3D representation of a suspension system with isolators connecting wire harnesses for flight test data using Unigraphics/Seimens NX 8 along with Teamcenter
  • I had the opportunity to gain knowledge using the electrical routing tool within NX8 to accomplish wire harnessing for a flight test project to reach completion by its due date
  • Utilized NX 8 to create 3D models and drawings along with Honeywell guidelines and standards along with communication through engineering within the group and engineering and assembly in the shop
  • Some of the time is spent in the shop to troubleshoot and create engineering changes to correct issues in the field with our customers and/or internal assembly
  • Learning quickly to become proficient using electrical routing tool skills quickly and I also learned internal programs within the company such as; DEXcenter and AeroPDM.
