SolidWorks & CAD Design
Expertise in SolidWorks for parts, assemblies, drawings and DFM, including CATIA V5 GSD surface modelling of rotor blades, 3D scan-to-CAD in Geomagic, and AutoCAD drafting with 15+ years of experience.
CNC Programming & CAM
Proficiency in CNC programming for mills and lathes using SolidCAM with Siemens Sinumerik, Fanuc and Haas controllers, including CAM post-processor troubleshooting and design of dedicated 5-axis clamping fixtures.
Pump Design & Manufacturing Engineering
9+ years of experience in pump wet-end part design, housings, rotors and assemblies, covering centrifugal and special pumps, rotating equipment, and nuclear and export project delivery including 2D production drawings, BOMs and cost estimates.
Project Management
Full lifecycle management of multi-unit pump projects for nuclear power plants in Bulgaria and Egypt, coordinating design, manufacturing, procurement and client communication in English against specification and agreed milestones.
Manufacturing Documentation & MRP
Creation of manufacturing documentation and process routing in MRP systems (GoSoft), including materials and tooling procurement and technical support to sales on manufacturability, lead time and specials.
3D Printing
PLA and ABS 3D printing of fixtures and prototype components to support manufacturing and design validation processes.
ISO Production Drawings & BOM Costing
Preparation of ISO-compliant production drawings and detailed bill of materials with costing for pump assemblies and components.
Electrical & Lightning-Protection Drawings
Creation of electrical and lightning-protection drawings including air terminals and building systems in AutoCAD, as well as workplace measurements for light, humidity, noise and temperature against Croatian workplace regulations.
