Contract consulting:
Mechanical Engineering / Product Design - I can manage all aspects of product development including, but not limited to mechanical design, documentation (BOM's and GeoTol drawings), and fabrication implementation. I can develop and maintain time lines, budgets, as well as vendor sourcing (including China). Software tools include SolidWorks and AutoCAD Inventor, etc., for aluminum extrusion, zinc / white metal and plastic injection molding parts, as well as sheet metal.
