Sr. Associate Mechanical Engineer
L3 Harris
Palm Bay, FL
07.2023 - Current
- Owned Winder Assembly redesign to increase structural integrity, add real time inspection improvements and significant maintenance process time reduction.
- Owned tolerance stack-ups through worst on worst analysis and RSS methods to determine viability of designs at scale to prevent design interferences during integration.
- Designed Binder Drip plates to optimize Winder maintenance procedures, which resulted in 50% in cleaning time reduction.
- Designed Guide Arm Base to allow pivoting of Guide Arm of 15 degrees to reduce fiber optic bend radius.
- Engineered modular wipe mounts enabling seamless interchangeability of tube clips across various diameter sizes and utilized 3D printing capabilities for cost reduction.
- Determined optimal starting position of Guide Arm to reduce overall bend radius by 50% on all wound packs.
- Led a small team of designers/drafters and held team reviews for drawings to determine correct use of GD&T on drawings and prepare concise notes to specify the requirements of products.
- Engineered custom tool for Selective Solder machine using leveraging COTS parts for a custom dimensioned PWB.
- Delivered a payload level mass properties analysis.
- Specialized in Creo 3D modeling and drafting, applying Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles and robust design practices, including parameterized modeling to streamline review processes and enable efficient design reuse.
- Developed and maintained MCAD Hub Resource Center SharePoint for engineering knowledge management.
- Experienced in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), including creating BOM items, purchase orders from buckets, initial releases and ECO's.
- Authored detailed manufacturing procedures for Guide Arm assemblies to standardize assembly processes and support repeatable, high-quality production.
- Supervised and led Separation Tests of wound packs to test integrity of Center Connect Design splice in a condition that would mimic the tensile forces of a torpedo launch.
