Project Engineer Resume Example

Key Responsibilities

• Facilitated and Led new product development and introduction of prototypes for new refrigeration and wine equipment (HVACR).
• Assisted and Performed continuous improvement projects and corrective action initiatives to address product non-conformance, process failures, workflow bottlenecks.
• Led and supervised, team of 4 designers on customer approval drawings, company design standards, product design, fixture design, design intent, DFM principles, and production drawing package approval.
• Evaluated and approved engineering related documentation such as customer submittal drawings, First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR), and fabrication drawing packages.
• Performed cooling performance calculations for heat transfer coils by maximizing cooling capacity, meeting customer cooling specifications and size requirements.
• Provided support to factory personnel on resolution of technical engineering problems such as design defects, drawing inconsistencies, manufacturing methods, and machine and tooling operational issues.

Key Achievements.

• Decreased engineering submittal drawing lead time from 6 days to 3 days and eliminated non-value-added task/time by updating standard operating procedures (SOP) for customer submittal drawings and streamlining designer workflow.
• Reduced part count and simplified higher volume product lines by resolving cross-part utilization between product lines and used design of manufacturability (DFM) principles to rationalize existing/new products.
• Conceptualized, created, and deployed engineering department standard operating procedures (SOP) to ensure compliance with ISO 9001 8.3 "Design and development of products and services" for yearly audits.
• Improved fabrication drawing quality and reduced assembly non-conformance by developing new internal engineering change request procedures (ECR).
• Enhanced product quality and decreased sheet metal scrap by 15% utilizing continuous improvement tools such as Root Cause Analysis, Check Sheets, and 5-whys to increase sheet efficiency, and reduce non-conforming parts.
• Develop and implemented productivity metrics to track design team performance related to, drawing quality, and fabrication drawing package throughput.
• Increased production productivity, reduced labor time through the design and implementation of tooling/fixtures.
• Developed training protocols in alignment with company quality standards and ISO 9000 regulations.
• Contributed to root cause analysis to determine core reason for failures and errors.
