PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

(Mechanical Engineering CADD position)

 


BELCAN CORPORATION (contractor for UTC Aerospace Systems), Rockford, IL


06/11 - present


Mechanical/Electrical Engineering Detailer (Drafter)/Modeler


 

·         Detailing (Drafting)/Modeling Experience:

Developed commercial and military assemblies, models, and drawing designs for production, non-production (test equipment applications) work and incorporated Engineering Changes (ECs), while utilizing Unigraphics NX 7.5 three-dimensional modeling software in Teamcenter PLM and native NX environments.  Additionally, used CADAM (CCDraft) for minor EC two-dimensional drawing modifications.

o   Production work involved the generation of new and the modification existing mechanical (85%) and electrical (15%) drawings of models and assemblies at all stages.  Two major programs included jet engine system’s gearboxes and pumps for mechanical designs.  Electrical designs included developing drawings of diagrams, schematics, and printed circuit boards.  Mechanical and electrical drawings included setting up the drawing views (including polygonal), updating views, layouts, sections, detail views, inserting the latest borders (patterns including the copyright, title block, etc.), decals (blocks and cells in other CADD softwares), generating bill-of-materials (BOMs) manually and by updating the BOM table, and running various scripts for automatically inserting decals, custom symbols, and analyzing drawings with scrapers to identify potential errors with flagged notes / find numbers / discontinued specifications or parts, while following UTC’s NX User’s Guide and Drafting Guidelines.  Utilized UTC printed and online sets of company standards to ensure models and drawings met those standards in addition to using the minimum standard requirements for various types of drawings (i.e. detail, assembly, inseparable assembly, source control, tabulated, etc.)

o   Test equipment projects included the modeling of piece parts and assemblies for two vibration tests, a low-air speed test, and numerous other tests, in which mating parts were checked for tolerances and fits, vendor parts were downloaded and inserted into the assemblies, and additional research was performed for standard parts in IHS.  Many of the standards of test equipment projects followed the same guidelines as production work, but with less rigorousness.

o   When incorporating the ECs of mechanical and electrical drawings, models, and assemblies, verified the accuracy of the ECs, contacted mechanical and electrical engineers when modifications to the ECs were necessary, and incorporated ECs according to UTC drafting/modeling standards.

o   While working with NX 7.5 Teamcenter 9.1, performed numerous searches, updated item revision information, and ran analyses on assemblies’ product structures, in which I created and modified in excess of 3,000 drawings, piece parts, and assemblies.

o   Provided Weekly Status Reports per UTC standards for tracking the above work.

o   In developing new drawings or working with existing drawings, provided Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) after performing minor stack-up analyses based on ASME Y14.5M-1994 standards.

 

·         Training and Leadership Role:

Assisted the drafting division in checking work from less experienced detailers/modelers, while mentoring and providing direction in daily drafting activities.  Reviewed, checked, and corrected the work of other detailers.  While controlling a test equipment project of electrical drawings, disseminated some of the drawings and provided direction to less experienced detailers in reference to the overall format and standards to be followed with step-by-step set of instructions.

Accumulated Experiences from above CADD positions:

·         Transportation Engineering Design/ CADD Experience:

o   Designs:

Produced several intricate interstate interchange (I-25/I-40) alternatives within geometrical State Design Standards criteria.  Developed optimal geometric roadway functional/improvement designs (including fourteen roundabouts, one double-lane) and channelization marking plans for roadway and intersection improvement projects.  Generated pavement striping plans.  Created typical street cross-sections.  Produced channelization marking designs, parking plans, roadway enhancement designs, and signal designs for improvements to roadways and intersections with and orthographic aerials.

o   Softwares:

AutoCAD versions release 12 through 2008 and Intergraph MicroStation (r. 4.0), Land Desktop 3.0, AutoCAD Map 2002, AutoTrack, and AutoTurn

o   Standards (including reference manuals and guides):

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), FHWA’s “Roundabouts: An Informational Guide,” American Disability Act (ADA), AASHTO’s “Roadside Design Guide,” Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), “A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 2001,” MUTCD, “Traffic Engineering Handbook – Institute of Transportation Engineers,” and “Manual of Traffic Signal Design – Institute of Transportation Engineers” 

o   Other:

Developed CADD and roundabout standards.  Generated cost estimates for Bike Project and Pavement Striping Plans.  Provided Plan Reviews for new Subdivisions from a Traffic Engineering perspective.  Reviewed, commented, and served as lead in the developer’s review committee concerning transportation related issues for new subdivisions and revised lots, while responding to developers and engineers’ questions.  Supplied drawings, diagrams, and tables from the above sources for ordinances.  Revised the Transportation Checklist for Preliminary Plats and Land Disturbance Permits.  Completed Traffic Signal Warrant Studies.  Generated extensive cost estimates of design alternatives of interchange.  Produced graphics of interstate interchange for public presentations.  Provided support to transportation engineers regarding the intricacies of various geometric alternatives of roundabout designs.  Researched and utilized ROW, utility locations, plat maps, and survey information of existing conditions.  Reviewed preliminary designs and final construction plans from contractors for compliance to county and state standards.  Performed field investigations.
