DeWALT Powershift

Served as a core engineer for the DeWALT Powershift 10ah battery program. My work included mechanical improvements on high-impact concrete tools like rammers, plate compactors, and vibrators.

My responsibilities centered on electromechanical design, covering everything from PCB modifications and cell-level analysis to comprehensive safety, reliability, and performance testing.

Job Site Blower Optimization

Job site blower

I led the design of a next-generation job site blower, achieving:

  • 75% reduction in power consumption
  • 2x increase in output performance
  • $200,000+ annual manufacturing savings

From brainstorming to production, I managed the project, using CFD simulations to optimize the axial fan and performing tolerance stack-ups and structural analysis to ensure robustness.

Redesigned Track Saw Guide

The market-leading aluminum track saw guide was prone to damage during shipping and use. I redesigned the track to enhance durability without sacrificing precision.

Key Achievements:

  • 30% reduction in shipping & warranty costs
  • Improved structural integrity & accuracy
  • Innovative, redefined manufacturing approach

This project required extensive tolerance analysis, FEA, and reliability testing to meet demanding performance and durability targets.

Audio System Components

Speaker woofer

Woofer Spider & Port Design

As part of the speaker design team, I used FEA to optimize the woofer spider's deformation behavior for sound quality and longevity. I also ran CFD simulations on speaker ports to enhance acoustic efficiency by analyzing airflow and pressure.

LED Light Pipe Design

I contributed to the mechanical design of an audio system's light pipe to ensure optimal illumination. My work involved:

  • Ray tracing analysis to evaluate light output (lux)
  • Multiple design iterations to perfect light distribution
  • Simulation and optimization using TRACE-PRO software

Other Projects

Assortment of DeWALT tools

In addition to the projects above, I designed a new housing for a grinder and conducted extensive testing on a wide range of DEWALT tools, including drills, impacts, grinders, and various saws.
