Work History
Design Engineer
Rilco Manufacturing Company
08.2012 - Current
- Introduced Finite Element Analysis into the company, effectively optimized pipe support designs for manufacturability, simplifying assembly processes and reducing labor costs.
- Conducted detailed stress analysis using FEA (NASTRAN) and thermal analysis for various insulated and uninsulated designs, developed comprehensive engineering documents for all projects, ensuring compliance with safety and reliability standards as well as customer requirements.
- Collaborated with design and manufacturing teams to optimize structural integrity while reducing cost and labor by up to 50% of various support components.
- Addressed design challenges and evaluated alternative design models through R&D to meet and exceed project requirements.
- Managed multiple projects simultaneously while adhering to strict deadlines and maintaining a high level of attention to detail.
- Skilled at working independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
Senior Design Project (FSAE)
University of New Mexico, NM
01.2011 - 05.2012
- Developed a fully functional suspension system for a formula-styled racecar in which the car ranked 10th in FSAE-West Competition in Lincoln, Nebraska, compared to 26th place in the previous year
- Designed the system using Wingeo and modeled the system using Solidworks, calculated the dimensions and geometry to yield the best performance with minimal weight and cost, without compromising reliability, maintaining a factor of safety of 1.3 at worst case scenario
- Monitored project progress, identified risks and took corrective action as needed.
Information Technology Student Staff
University of New Mexico School of Law
01.2008 - 01.2012
