Tyler Clas, PMP

- Technical project manager coordinating domestic and international teams in support of hyperscale AI data center build-outs - Lead product development activities for fiber optic connectors, closures, and accessories from conception to production - Oversee CAD creation and product design for injection molded and sheet metal components

- Designed, developed, and implemented solutions that fulfilled customer requirements for their tactical and up-armored vehicle needs - Led sustaining engineering efforts for Jankel’s industry leading blast-mitigation seats to help keep the US military’s vehicle fleet in a constant state of readiness - Created 3D and 2D CAD models using Solidworks and Vault PDM

- Design for injection molding, DFA for plastic components with an emphasis on reducing part count and assembly time - Modeled Class-A outer surfaces and internal structural and mechanical components for high-volume plastic consumer products using top-down design methodology and PTC Creo with Windchill

- Collaborated with industrial designers to transform their ideas into manufacturable solutions for our business - Worked with Creo using solid modeling, surfacing, and the Creo sheet metal extension to design a variety of consumer and commercial products - Designed plastic parts for injection molding and rotomolding, as well as metal parts for machining, sheet metal bending, stamping, and hydroforming

- Worked with product development engineers to create and implement test plans for consumer product testing - Took the desired test parameters and used mechanical engineering first principles such as static loading, mechanics of materials, and kinematics to design and build test fixtures - Collected test data and used statistical modeling to report findings to the product development engineers to ensure product quality

- First line supervisor of 8 Paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne Division - Maintained accountability of more than $1,000,000 worth of sensitive military equipment while being responsible for the safety and well being of my soldiers - Led a small unit through combat deployments in both Iraq and Afghanistan - Ability to work with people from very diverse backgrounds and unify the entire team to work together towards a common goal, no matter the conditions
