RezUpMechanical Engineer resume example
A mechanical engineer resume example with tolerance-critical design work, cost-down results and DFM collaboration — what engineering managers verify beyond the CAD keyword list.
Priya Raghavan
Summary
Mechanical engineer with 6 years in consumer-hardware enclosure and mechanism design. Shipped 4 products at 100k+ annual units; owns design from concept CAD through DFM, tooling release and first-article approval.
Experience
Mechanical Engineer II — Halcyon Devices 2022 – Present
- Own enclosure and hinge design for a 150k-unit/yr smart display; passed 1m drop and 10k-cycle hinge testing on the first tooling shot
- Cut part cost 18% on the flagship product via part consolidation (11 parts to 6) and a resin change validated with mold-flow analysis
- Run weekly DFM reviews with two contract manufacturers; reduced open tooling issues at T1 from 34 to 9 across two programs
Mechanical Design Engineer — Kinetic Labs 2019 – 2022
- Designed sheet-metal and machined structures for lab-automation instruments in SolidWorks with GD&T to ±0.05 mm where required
- Built and maintained tolerance stack-ups that cut first-article rejections by half year over year
Skills
SolidWorks & Creo (surfacing, sheet metal) · GD&T & tolerance stack-ups · DFM/DFA & tooling release · Injection molding & sheet metal · FEA & mold-flow analysis · Prototyping (SLA/SLS, CNC)
Education
B.S. Mechanical Engineering — University of Texas at Austin, 2019 · EIT (Texas), 2019
Fictional example for illustration — names, employers and numbers are invented, but every bullet follows the honest formula: action + scope + verifiable result. Never copy claims you can't defend in an interview.
Shipped products are the proof
Units per year, programs taken from concept to production, first-shot pass rates — hardware managers hire people who have released tooling, and these numbers say you have.
Name tolerances and processes
"GD&T to ±0.05 mm" and "11 parts to 6" are checkable engineering claims; "proficient in SolidWorks" is not. Tie every tool to a thing it produced.
Cost-downs are engineering wins
An 18% part-cost reduction with the mechanism (consolidation, resin change, mold-flow validation) shows judgment — the trait interviews probe hardest.
