• Project Manager/Design EngineerBrock's Performance·Full-timeJun 2016 – Jul 20204 yrs 1 mosDayton, OH, United StatesMy applicable responsibilities included creating market analysis reports which consist of information such as the need, level of interest, retail pricing, and how the product will improve the industry. I would continue the process by reverse engineering the OEM component, make necessary design changes shown by the market research, and then produce a prototype for testing.
  
  As an engineer in a fast-moving industry I developed new methods to get products to market faster. One method I used to greatly reduce development costs and time was to use the latest CAD software package to design prototypes for additive manufacturing. As part of the product design process I created the tooling and fixtures for testing and assembly. After producing prototypes and testing the product I then created detailed engineering drawings using standard dimensioning practices including GD&T. After the design was finalized I worked with manufacturers on four continents to produce the components. Additionally, I created detailed work instructions, quality control documents, and BOM’s
