Skills
Knowledgeable designing for harsh marine environments.
Expert at building the tools I need or modifying off the shelf components to do the job.
Ability to take high level (napkin sketch) ideas and bring them to completion.
Well versed in the machine shop. Four years of experience using manual lathes and mills, a variety of common and uncommon hand tools as well as some experience programming CNC machines.
Ability to select materials based on properties and manufacturability. Experience working with aluminum, stainless, plastics, ceramics, polyurethane rubbers, etc.
Skilled at designing watertight o-ring seals for ocean depths down to ~500 meters..
Comfortable programming micro-controllers to automate testing or monotonous processes (C/MATLAB).
Proficient with SolidWorks 3D modeling software. Used daily to design new parts, modify parts from other engineers, as well as create multi-part assemblies and generate BOMs.
Able to design simple analog circuits and spin PCBs using EAGLE. This is mostly self taught due to hobby projects.
Experience
Mechanical Engineer OceanServer Technology Inc.
April 2013 – Present
Design, prototype and optimize mechanical systems on three classes of autonomous underwater vehicles. Constantly looking for ways to improve performance and reliability while reducing cost.
Create 3D models and draft 2D drawings with emphasis on design for manufacturability.
Design, test and optimize propeller geometry. My first custom propeller increased efficiency by ~33%.
Match propeller parameters and electric motors to optimize required specs.
Develop, construct and implement testing apparatus for vehicles. Including high pressure hull testing tanks, vacuum leak detection system, propulsion seal pressure test, etc. This includes setting pass/fail requirements, writing test procedures and in some cases contracting testing to outside vend...
