Designed and developed hundreds of individual components and dozens of complete assemblies from concept through product-level field testing and commercialization (design proposal, feasibility of design or application, specifications, product design, engineering calculations, cost estimation, component selection, vendor interaction, detailed functionality analysis, prototype manufacturing, lab testing & field testing, internal manuals & external technical literature). Direct monthly revenue from my designs ~ $3 MM.
Designed and patented best-in-class drilling safety joint assemblies that could more reliably withstand high-frequency vibrations during drilling operations, opening new markets, which led to an entirely new portfolio of products that generated over $20 MM per year. US Patent US10006256B2.
Designed a complete portfolio of next-generation milling tools, including hundreds of Flat, Junk, Piranha, Concave, Inserted, etc. mills, from 2" up to 24", to expand and standardize the product offering.
Developed a customer-facing iPhone/Android application that lets customers quickly enter their equipment specification needs. The app "Bowen Casing Spear System Calculator" then provides recommendations on equipment selection with calculated equipment specs for the application.
Generated algorithms to automate calculations and processes, significantly reducing response time for technical inquiries and new product designs.
Supported the sales and market segment personnel through daily conversations (e.g., opportunity qualification, design of technical solution and determination of value creation, understanding of customer/prospect feedback regarding the solution, support in the development of solution cost) in winning business in a team effort and adding an average monthly revenue of $1-2 MM.
Utilized SolidWorks, SolidWorks PDM, ANSYS, Teamcenter PLM, dimensioning and tolerancing per ASME Y-14.5, Microsoft Visual Basic, and LabView during product design, development, and verification.
Created and maintained all revision-controlled engineering documentation (e.g., drawings and bills of materials) and all engineering-controlled documents (e.g., O&M manuals, QA sheets, and work instructions).
Performed detailed analyses of new tools during development and existing tools, including Finite Element Analysis (ANSYS and SolidWorks Simulation) and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
Developed manufacturing processes by designing equipment for fabricating, building, assembling, and installing components as part of the Design for Manufacturing and Assembly methodology (DFMA).
