Work History
Mechanical Engineer I - New Product Design
Diebold Nixdorf
North Canton, Ohio
05.2020 - Current
- Spear-headed the product development of two mechanical sub-assemblies, transforming them from concepts to high-quality, marketable products in under 7 months.
- Designed, coordinated, and organized the development of 12 new, injection molded plastic parts. This task involved 3D-CAD modeling (Siemens NX), the creation of 2D engineering drawings, tolerance studies, and material selection.
- Attended project planning meetings to coordinate mechanical system designs with electrical and firmware teams, mitigate design conflicts, and coordinate delivery timelines.
- Collaborated with external suppliers to fulfill part procurement and utilize DFM feedback to optimize part cost and lead times.
- Oversaw Reliability Growth and Engineering Validation testing to ensure both assembly variations met rigorous company quality standards.
- Facilitated manufacturing by assisting in production line set-up, assembly instruction creation, assembly test fixture fabrication, and early production supervision.
Mechanical Design Engineer Intern
Diebold Nixdorf
North Canton, Ohio
05.2018 - 12.2019
- Coordinated a 13-unit prototype build which consisted of over 1,000 parts. Tasks included bill of material creation, part ordering, inventory management, lab preparation, and prototype assembly.
- Collaborated with electrical and software engineers to create an accelerated life test to verify product specifications in consolidated time. Tasks included life specification calculations, electrical component analysis, software script writing, data collection, and failure observation/documentation.
- Designed a hand-held, sheet metal measurement tool which was intended to be used by over 100 service technicians to properly align ATM sub-modules.
- Developed a belt tension measuring method to quickly verify the manufacturer's dimensional tolerances and production capabilities.
- Read and interpreted blueprints, technical drawings, schematics and computer-generated reports.
