Julia D.
Mechanical Design Engineer - CAD & CAM
I design mechanical systems built to work, not just to look good in CAD. With 8 years of professional experience in mechanical and machine design, I specialize in transforming ideas into fully engineered, manufacturing-ready products. My work spans industrial equipment, automation mechanisms, structural systems, and production tooling from concept development through simulation, prototyping, and final documentation. I bring strong expertise in parametric CAD modeling, mechanism design, structural validation (FEA), and design automation using Autodesk Inventor (iLogic/VB). I have automated the creation of over 2,600 engineering drawings, significantly improving workflow efficiency and scalability of documentation. What I Can Do for You: 1. Parametric 3D modeling (Inventor, Fusion 360, SolidWorks) 2. Machine & mechanism design (servo systems, motion systems, rack & pinion) 3. Manufacturing-ready 2D drawings (GD&T – ASME Y14.5 compliant) 4. Sheet metal design with flat patterns & bend tables 5. FEA & structural validation (Fusion 360 / Ansys) 6. Design for Manufacturing (DFM) & Design for Assembly (DFA) 7. BOM creation & production documentation 8. Reverse engineering from STEP files or 3D scans 9. CAD automation using Inventor iLogic 10. Rapid prototyping (3D printing & CNC-ready files) I design with manufacturability, tolerance control, and real-world production constraints in mind. My goal is always to deliver structured, clean, and scalable engineering files that your team can confidently build from. If you need a Mechanical Design Engineer who understands systems, automation, and production workflows, let’s build it properly.
