About this Candidate
DAVRON CV: Candidate 3825978
SENIOR MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER | PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, PROTOTYPING & TOOLING
Core Expertise
- Mechanical product development from concept through prototyping, testing, tooling, and production release.
- SolidWorks-driven 3D modeling, detailed drawings, assembly documentation, and design history file management.
- FEA and structural analysis for reliability assessment, tolerance analysis, and failure-mode evaluation.
- Production tooling design and validation across injection molding, sheet metal, CNC, and additive processes.
- Cross-functional vendor coordination, fixture validation, BOM control, cost reduction, and quality improvement.
Project Background
- Led R&D product design initiatives for injection-molded, sheet-metal, and machined assemblies to production release.
- Developed and tested prototypes to drive design iterations, verification, validation, and reliability testing.
- Coordinated with overseas manufacturing partners to resolve manufacturability, draft, tolerance, and tooling feedback.
- Executed failure mode analysis and root-cause investigations to implement corrective actions and durability improvements.
- Maintained fabrication drawings, design-review documentation, bills of materials, and design history files for production.
