DAVRON CV: Candidate 1905338

MECHANICAL ENGINEER | CAD & RAPID PROTOTYPING | SOFT GOODS, SHEET METAL & MANUFACTURING SUPPORT

Core Expertise

• SolidWorks-driven product development for soft goods and hard goods from concept to manufacturable designs.
• 3D scanning and reverse engineering of vehicle interiors to capture accurate geometry for design work.
• Rapid prototyping using 3D printing, foam molds, and iterative testing to validate fit and function.
• Sheet metal and weldment design for in-house manufacturing with production handover readiness.
• Technical troubleshooting and root-cause analysis to resolve product failures and improve reliability.

Project Background

• Developed seat covers and interior storage solutions from scanned vehicle interiors for OEM and aftermarket use.
• Designed and prototyped consumer electronics components and assemblies, including enclosure systems and small mechanisms.
• Led CAD team activities, redlined drawings, and managed drafter workflows to meet project milestones.
• Collaborated with production teams to solve manufacturing and assembly challenges during handover and ramp-up.
• Researched textiles and materials for durable soft-goods applications to improve manufacturability and longevity.

Key Skills

• Proficient in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino, Creo, and MasterCam for CAD and CAM workflows.
• Experienced with 3D scanning, 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and foam mold fabrication for testing.
• Skilled in sheet metal design, weldments, manufacturing handover, and design for manufacturability (DFM).
• Electronics prototyping using Altium, Arduino IDE (C++), and basic PCB layout workflows.
• Data tools: MATLAB and Excel; project management with Asana and timeline tracking.
• Familiar with Blender, Peel.CAD, and CAM toolpath generation for prototype and production parts.
