Sheet Metal CAD & Fabrication Designer

I created sheet metal components, industrial enclosures, equipment panels, brackets, chassis, and fabricated assemblies using manufacturing focused CAD workflows. Responsibilities included developing folded 3D models, flat patterns, DXF cutting files, bend details, hole and slot locations, fabrication drawings, and STEP models for production. I worked with SolidWorks sheet metal tools while considering material thickness, bend radius, bend allowance, clearances, fasteners, assembly requirements, and laser cutting or press brake fabrication. I also revised existing designs to improve manufacturability and simplify production. Deliverables were prepared to give fabricators clear information for cutting, bending, assembly, and inspection while reducing unnecessary ambiguity between the CAD design and workshop production.

Electronics & PCB Enclosure CAD Designer

I designed custom electronics and PCB enclosures for hardware products, sensors, controllers, IoT devices, and prototype systems. I developed housings around real PCB dimensions, batteries, connectors, switches, displays, LEDs, and internal components while maintaining suitable clearances and assembly access. My work included PCB mounting bosses, screw posts, ventilation features, cable openings, removable covers, snap-fit or fastened assemblies, and prototype-ready STL and STEP files. I used SolidWorks and Fusion 360 to convert sketches, board layouts, and hardware requirements into functional enclosure designs suitable for 3D printing and manufacturing. Each project was developed with attention to fit, wall thickness, component access, strength, assembly, and practical production requirements.

Mechanical CAD & Product Design Engineer

Rexio Tech • Freelance

Jun 2026 - Jul 2026 • 1 mo

I worked on mechanical CAD and product development projects focused on turning engineering concepts, sketches, dimensions, and existing hardware into functional manufacturing ready designs. My responsibilities included creating detailed 3D CAD models in SolidWorks and Fusion 360, developing mechanical parts and assemblies, improving component fit and clearances, and preparing STEP, STL, and technical drawing deliverables. I supported prototype development, design revisions, mounting systems, brackets, housings, and production documentation while considering manufacturability, assembly, material selection, and real world use. Projects required accurate modeling, organized CAD files, clear communication, and practical engineering solutions that could move efficiently from concept development through prototyping and manufacturing.
