Mechanical Designer with 20+ years in SolidWorks-based 3D modeling, precision drafting, and GD&T for scientific and nuclear projects.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Mechanical Designer with over 20 years of experience in 3D modeling, mechanical drafting, and engineering collaboration. I build precision designs in SolidWorks and support complex mechanical systems from concept through fabrication, with a strong emphasis on safety, quality, and accuracy.
In my recent roles, I’ve developed 3D CAD models, detailed 2D drawings, and assembly documentation to support scientific and engineering research projects. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Consolidated Nuclear Security, I ensured compliance with ASME Y14, ANSI, and AWS standards, and I applied GD&T principles and tolerance analysis to verify functionality and manufacturability.
I also bring a long background supporting high-energy physics and defense/energy clients. I’ve coordinated with fabrication and machine shop teams to resolve design issues, supported installation and testing of experimental systems, and contributed to continuous improvement by enhancing design efficiency, safety, and data management.
