Machine designers needed

Out of work or looking for work on the side?

Do you have any machine design experience, and/or are you open to
relocation? If either answer is "yes" then contact me. I'm now working
'direct' for a consulting company in Charlotte, NC (formerly I was an
independent), and we have more work than we can easily handle, designing
machinery mostly. An extensive number of new machines for factory
automation. It looks like it's going to last a while also, as long as
we retain our biggest client. Work can be done out of your home on a
consistent basis, but in order for there to be more than a bit of
contract work you would have to be within easy driving distance of
Charlotte and at least be available for meetings and trips to the
factory we are automating. Otherwise there is the possiblity of a
reasonably steady trickle of work like detailing parts and assemblies
designed here and maybe sometimes some design work that can be done "in
a vacuum".

Wow,

Really glad to hear you got yourself a good gig. They got a good man

Congrats...

What type of automation ? That's really where my roots are.

Mark

 

Thanks very much for the good words and wishes, Mark. Yes, I'm very
pleased that this work is so much like being independent. Lots of the
pluses without quite so many of the minuses (like having to spend so
much time beating the bushes for work). Among other things we're
partially automating a factory where there's some metal fabrication
going on (including heat treatment in hot salt bath, presses and
automatic punch machines) and a lot of mechanical assembly. We're
picking up a number of different parts, moving them to workstations and
orienting them properly such that they get the work done on them
automatically, also creating some new workstations, and creating
end-of-the-line packaging solutions as well. There's a lot of work to
be done. I'm just now getting into the nitty gritty. And it's pretty
gritty (big, dirty shop gritty), but it's good also to get my hands
dirty as a nice break from pounding the keyboard.

Best regards,

Hi Mark

I have 16 years experience in machinery design, of which 15 is on CAD, first
CATIA, then Pro/E and now SolidWorks. The machinery I have designed is
mainly high precision automated production line type for the whiteware
industry. I have also designed a number of vacuum moulds for refrigerator
liners.
I am in New Zealand, so traveling to the factory is not possible. But if you
are interested in sending some work my way, please contact me.


Regards

Rick

 

Don't use the phone number given below today (Thursday). We're moving
into new digs and the phones are all messed up. I hesitate to give my
home phone or cell phone out, so at least for today you'll have to rely
on email to contact me.

Guess you're correct that you didn't de-munge my email address
correctly. Have gotten no message from you. I'll try to de-munge YOUR
email address and see if we can link up.

'Sporky'

 

Well I may indeed contact you, Rick, but probably a little later. Right
now I'm concentrating mostly on those who might be willing and able to
relocate to the Charlotte area. I wouldn't be surprised if we do have
some overage coming up, even with some other part-time help we've
gotten.

Best regards,
'Sporky'

 

Spork,

Yea, I like to spend at least a couple hours in the shop every day making
chips. Especially when I'm stumped over some problem. It's therapeutic.

Our shop is really clean though, ya think I'd get more out of it if I messed
it up ??? ;>)

Mark,
I have 25+ years of machine design, much of it for use in hostile and
abrasive surroundings. I have about 10 years on AutoCad, only a few months
on SolidWorks. Also have decent background in hydraulics, electronics, and
electrical controls. I can sure use the work. I live near Hartford,
Connecticut.

Did you receive email from me? I think that I successfully un-munged your
address - got a reply from a server that it worked.

Thanks in advance,
Mac Harper
