Summary
Enthusiastic and self-motivated mechanical EIT eager to contribute to Manaflex's growth. I have 3+ years of experience, focusing primarily on electromechanical design and data acquisition. By redesigning assemblies using DFMA standards, I have been able to reduce costs by over 40% and significantly shorten lead times on several projects.
