Background

About David Afonso

Innovative and dynamic multi-disciplinary Engineer In Training with a passion for learning. 4+ years of Mechanical Design and Hardware Engineering experience equips me to be dynamic and highly adaptable and as a result of this I held various positions both in manufacturing and product development. Primary interest in mechanical design engineering preferably in alternative energy or green technology. Proven track record for solving complex design problems involving electrically actuated pneumatic assemblies and fluidic systems. Able to work effectively within cross-functional groups in a leadership role or as a team member. As a Mechanical Design Engineer I was responsible for solving complex design problems using analytic techniques, such as- Finite Element Analysis (FEA)- Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA)- Weighted Decision Matrix I have experience with BOM creation and management, product lifecycle management and writing technical documents. As an Electrical Engineering Technician I applied Lean manufacturing practices such as reduction of 7 wastes and 5s and improving the test jigs by increasing capacity to reduce bottle necks.
