Ryan K.
Automotive Engineer | CAD Design | Product Development | Prototyping
My experience working for and with Ford Motor Company, Tesla, and Rivian helped me specialize in designing plastic injection molded parts to cut down on tooling cost and timing. I can do assembly analysis including tolerance stack ups, GD&T, and CAD Development. My feature based development and prototyping helps cut your time to design and get through prototype phases faster to meet customer deadlines. Check out below to see what OEM Engineers have to say about my work: I first worked with Ryan launching the 2018 Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition. He joined a tier 1 supplier at a time when they were launching a new product line (exterior trim) and having a lot of difficulties. He was dedicated to root causing all the issues and bringing the project to a conclusion through implementing interim and permanent corrective actions thus ensuring launch was not delayed and his supplier was able to avoid unnecessary escalation reviews. His dedicated effort toward creating unique design solutions which could be implemented in the tooling quickly; really helped gain confidence in his supplier and set up the program for long term success. I would recommend utilizing Ryan's knowledge of design and product launch to mitigate your problems before they even happen. – Nathan Ply, New Model Launch Supervisor; Ford Motor Company Working on innovating the latest electric vehicles requires unique solutions for the thermal system that may not be apparent until further in development. Ryan was able to have designs completed, placed in our CAD environment, and full manufacturable faster than usual to meet our build timelines. His approach has prototypes ready to evaluate quickly which cuts down on iteration and gave confidence to launch tools quicker, allowing for cost savings on tooling and piece price of these routing solutions. I would highly recommend Ryan if you are looking for someone with the ability to design, engineer, and prototype functional products for mass production. - Scott Creger, Mechanical Engineer, Thermal Systems; Lucid Motors I use my Mechanical Engineering (Degree from Virginia Tech), Plastic Injection Molding, and Sheet Metal Stamping and Bending knowledge to develop parts through a concept to sketch to CAD to Prototype process to quickly iterate. As a CAD designer, engineer, and manufacturing partner I take your input and direction to give you the design you want and need all in one.
