Matthew Earnshaw

I am a pragmatic mechanical designer seeking a mechanical engineering role in which I can leverage my aerospace design & development expertise acquired from nearly 6 years working at Pratt & Whitney Canada. I am on track to become a licensed professional engineer in July 2023.

PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA

Compressor Mechanical Designer Jul 2018-Oct 2022

• Designed & drafted technical drawings for compressor rotors, stators, and bearing housings that have accumulated hundreds of successful running hours on turboshaft and turboprop gas turbine engines.
• Provided technical support to suppliers during procurement & manufacturing of the above-mentioned parts.
• Produced engineering layouts & bills of materials to communicate assembly & installation instructions to the engine assembly line.
• Led multidisciplinary teams including machinists, materials engineers, structural analysts, and dynamics specialists to complete the designs of compressor parts.
• Conducted Failure Modes and Effects Analysis of above-mentioned parts to ensure the risks & consequences of part failure modes do not affect engine safety
• Re-designed two cast bearing housings to instead be manufactured from bar stock, thus reducing part cost by 30% and part weight by 20%.

Development Engineering Intern May 2016-Aug 2017

• Led a project to substantiate a new heating process for use in assembling interference-fit parts in turbofan gas turbine engines.
• Produced technical drawings & work instructions to retrofit engine parts with instrumentation in support of research & development engine testing per the Design Verification and Validation plans.
