About this Candidate
DAVRON CV: Candidate 1906386
MECHANICAL ENGINEER | PROTOTYPING, CAD, FEA & MANUFACTURABLE DESIGN
Core Expertise
- Prototype development and assembly for automated equipment, resolving fit and tolerance issues.
- CAD modeling and revisions using Fusion 360, SolidWorks, and Siemens NX for manufacturable designs.
- FEA-driven structural analysis including static, modal, and harmonic response; topology optimization for mass reduction.
- Hands-on fabrication: CNC machining, 3D printing, and hand-tool assembly to accelerate prototype iterations.
- Mechanical tuning of vibratory conveyors and dynamic subsystems to ensure consistent material handling.
Project Background
- Reworked over 100 mechanical components through CAD updates, machining, and additive manufacturing to reduce failures.
- Modeled and built motor-driven four-bar linkage prototype under strict budget constraints using CNC and 3D parts.
- Performed static, modal, and harmonic FEA to identify failure points and inform topology optimization decisions.
- Integrated safety interlocks, corrected wiring, and reduced structural weight in near-production prototype units.
- Collaborated with lead engineers to identify design risks early and minimize post-processing and rework.
