Rick began using Pro/Engineer, V12 in 1994, when the semi-conductor company he worked for transitioned from AutoCad, spending many months converting 2-D drawings into parts, sheet metal parts, and assemblies. Due to the fluid process nature of the semi-conductor business in 1996, he started working with Pro/Piping for package routing for wafer processing. In 2002, Rick began working in the defense industry utilizing large assembly management, top / down design using skeletons integrating multiple designs into an armored amphibious vehicle. Currently, Rick is working at Carrier, EM packaging implementing Pro/Schematic and Cabling and refrigerant tubing using piping.
