Denver, Colorado, United States
Experienced in engineering and large project workflows across two distinct industries, effectively applying standard engineering practices in both contexts. My skill set encompasses detailed design engineering, report generation, in house environmental stress testing, and conducting thorough research and development for existing and future projects. My primary area of expertise lies in CAD design projects utilizing SolidWorks with a specialized focus on injection-molded electronic housings as well as hydraulics, particularly in relation to Oil and Gas facilities.
● Design and developed injection-molded plastic housings for solar and battery powered IoT GPS devices. o Enclosures required to meet IP ratings, SAE standards and pass AAR environmental testing. ● Redesigned existing enclosures to meet or exceed updated regulation requirements. o Improved gasket seal design of second generation device by modifying existing injection mold tool resulting in reduced development time and cost. ● Authored internal documentation for all mechanical research projects pertaining to the Denver team. ● Researched improvements to enclosure design to reduce cost, improve performance in outdoor environments, reduce overall device size and streamline assembly process. ● Developed testing procedures and oversaw test implementation of prototypes and first article devices. ● Utilized GD&T standard practices and tolerance stack-up analysis to optimize geometry for plastic injection molded components. ● Made use of modern 3D printers to accelerate design timelines and improve on final geometries. ● Performed research and development tasks between projects which included the following: o Investigation into thermal management solutions for maintaining component temperature. o Optical reader communication optimization for transfer of data through a sealed enclosure. o Deep dive into hall-effect sensor reliability for device activation from a low power state. o Improved magnet mounting components for operation in high temperature environments. o NFC antenna design feasibility for use with modern mobile phone communication.
• Designed and developed 3D models for 11 saltwater storage, treatment and disposal facilities for oil and gas hydrofracking operations and 2 oil collection facility for projects located in Texas. • Generated hydraulic calculations to predict tank level equalization times for different pipe manifold design alternatives. • Created process and instrumentation drawings (P&IDs) for multiple hydrofracking facilities using AutoCAD P&ID software. • Assisted with design of pump and filter skid for mobile produced and flowback water treatment operations. • Coordinated with electrical and automation engineers on facility design issues and equipment component standards. • Coordinated with client to determine optimal facility design based on client’s needs.
