  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
