Josef B.
Mechanical Engineering Services.
Mechanical Engineer | 7 years CAD design → FEA validation → production support I consider myself a motivated, analytical, and fast-learning professional—reliable and solution-oriented, always focused on delivering high-quality results. I design and validate complex mechanical systems end-to-end. Recent work: managed 30+ engineering validation projects for forensic animation (vehicle dynamics, structural failure analysis, physics-based simulation validation). Earlier: 100+ CAD projects in SolidWorks, 18% manufacturing cycle-time reduction through DFM optimization. Contractor strengths: Independent execution, fast turnaround, production-ready deliverables, clear scope management. Remote-ready, bilingual (English/Spanish), EU-based. Core expertise: SolidWorks CAD modeling, detailed drawings, assemblies FEA/stress analysis, dynamic motion simulation DFMEA, root cause analysis, systematic troubleshooting Design for manufacturability (injection molding, CNC, casting, sheet metal) Manufacturing methods consulting, material selection DFM cost optimization, supplier coordination I bring a wide range of technical skills and hands-on experience, including but not limited to: -Technical Skills Machine & Mechanism Design Sheet Metal and Enclosure Design Product Development and Prototyping Assembly Instructions (for consumer use or workshop implementation) 3D Simulation & Analysis (stress, strain, deformation, center of gravity, etc.) Dynamic Motion Simulation Design Consulting: Material Selection, Manufacturing Methods, and DFM (Design for Manufacturability) Manufacturing Design: Injection Molding, CNC Machining, Forming, Casting, etc. High-Resolution Product Rendering with Textures and Lighting 3D Animation: Operation & Installation Processes of Mechanical Systems CAD Tools: SolidWorks, AutoCAD Arduino Programming Basic Programming: C++, Pascal Strong understanding of Operating Systems -Soft Skills Excellent Written & Verbal Communication Outstanding Customer Service Detail-Oriented and Meticulous Editing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) Creation Team Leadership & Management Quick to Learn New Tools and Processes Adaptable, Organized, and Deadline-Oriented Skilled at Managing Multiple Projects Strong Problem-Solving Abilities Comfortable Interpreting Input from Multiple Sources Event Planning and Coordination Strong Team Collaboration -Tools & Platforms Microsoft Office Suite Jira Notion Salesforce Zendesk Google Workspace Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams Web Research and Documentation
