What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on engineering role in automotive or industrial machinery focusing on CAD-led design, prototyping, manufacturability, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous improvement.

I am a Results-oriented Mechanical Design Engineer with a BEng in Mechanical Engineering and an MSc in Management with Project Management from the University of Lincoln. I bring over two years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, prototyping, and development for automotive and industrial applications.

I have delivered components and assemblies for global clients such as Chrysler, Toyota, and GM, achieving measurable cost and performance improvements through DFM/DFA and material selection. I am proficient in CATIA, SolidWorks, Siemens NX, AutoCAD, ANSYS, and other simulation and CAD tools.

My strengths include cross-functional collaboration with manufacturing, quality, electrical, and production teams, preparing detailed technical documentation (BOMs, test plans, specifications), and ensuring compliance with ISO, BS, and CE requirements. I have driven prototype validation, supplier coordination, and process optimizations that reduced costs and improved efficiency.

I am committed to continuous improvement, the adoption of innovative technologies (including additive manufacturing), and professional development as an Associate Member of IMechE pursuing CEng. I am available in the UK and eager to contribute to automotive and industrial machinery projects that value practical engineering, robust documentation, and measurable results.
