About this Candidate
DAVRON CV: Candidate 1921813
MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER | PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, DFM, SHEET METAL & TOOLING
Core Expertise
- Developing production-ready mechanical designs from concept to production using SolidWorks and Creo.
- Optimizing manufacturability through DFM/DFMA, GD&T, BOMs, and CNC-ready documentation.
- Designing fixtures, tooling, and fixturing to improve repeatability and assembly throughput.
- Leading sheet metal department overhauls that reduced scrap and multiplied throughput.
- Troubleshooting, reverse engineering, and prototyping to validate designs and improve reliability.
Project Background
- Overhauled sheet metal fabrication to cut scrap from 10% to 1% and increase throughput by 300%+.
- Engineered complex automated machine subsystems, enabling first successful continuous-cycle operation via redesign.
- Designed plastic injection-molded and thermoformed components for high-volume production, resolving supplier manufacturability issues.
- Managed large assemblies with tens of thousands of components, producing subassemblies, GD&T drawings, BOMs, and CNC files.
- Delivered production fixtures, tooling, and cost estimates while coordinating vendors and shopfloor teams for implementation.
