• DESIGN - Toyota - Mexico Paint Shop transporter (Jan - Sep 2022)

Designed an asynchronous gearmotor-powered 21-ton chassis transporter for Toyota's paint shop in Mexico. The Transporter was a 4-axis transportation system for a 7-chassis stack inside its paint shop, allowing for movement at 5 km/h. Belt-driven movement of the chassis carrier allowed for tilting and lifting of the 5-ton payload. Completed FEA's, calculations, and conformed to the client's design specifications. Completed the maintenance manual for the handover to our client in this project.

• DESIGN - Freightliner - USA - 2 Post Belt Lifter + 4 Post Lifter. (Sep - Dec 2022)

Completed the design for a 2-post short-stroke belt lifter and a 4-post hoist for Freightliner's Charlotte plant for a 3-ton payload. Completed FEA's and calculations, and conformed to the client's design specifications.

• DESIGN - BMW Spartanburg Body Shop - USA - 2-Post Belt Lifter (Jan - March 2023)

I optimized the previous 2-post belt lifter design accordingly for a 1-ton payload and BMW's lifter specifications. Belt-driven, cantilevered, 1-ton load designed to meet the cycle time specified by the client. Completed FEA's and engineering calculations on all load-bearing elements in the machine to meet a maintenance-free, 21-year life cycle.

• LEAD DESIGNER - BMW Spartanburg Assembly Hall - USA - Lead Time Buffer (March 2023 - June 2024)

Led the design on ROVD's biggest-ever project in the company's history at the time. Consistently delivered high-quality work under tight deadlines, presented designs to our project team weekly, and was an integral part of finalizing the layout phase to get engineering drawings issued and manufactured. Worked together with the logistics department to get equipment shipped in sequential order of installation.

Oversaw all engineering calculations, FEAs, documentation, and KVFMEA's while complying with BMW's various design standards for all equipment involved in the project.

Led the design sign-off procedure with final design reviews with maintenance, safety, and the BMW equipment planner.

• Site Equipment Installation Manager (June 2023 - Present)

Oversaw the quality and execution of the installation of 600 tonnes of steel mezzanine floor, 6 lifters, 6 turntables, 250 chain conveyors, 4 side shuttles, and 20 eccentric lifters while dealing with subcontractors, meeting the installation deadlines set by the project manager, and getting production ready for the start of production. Assisted the project manager in managing an installation crew of 65 people during this installation.

Worked closely with the BMW Planning department during BMW Group's largest-ever plant-wide shutdown. Co-orindated with Numerous BMW Suppliers for all equipment interfaces and Handover's to their systems.

• Completed a 4-week internship program at ROVD Engineering in my final year of my degree. In that time, I helped analyze equipment designs with senior designers and created technical drawings and documentation, such as bills of materials, schematics, and user manuals. Enhanced my proficiency in Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD for 2D and 3D Modelling

• Completed a 4-week internship at VW South Africa in 2019. I was an understudy to a quality assurance engineer in Pilot Hall, who explained the process of fault finding in his role, while giving me minor tasks to complete. Attended all morning meetings with my mentor to gain insight on task allocation for the daily tasks at hand and progress updates from the previous day. Additional training in basic Plant operations -PLC Programming and an introduction to hydraulic and pneumatic systems were also completed.
