Work Experience

Designed and assembled fixtures to hasten product mechanical testing

• Worked directly with drop testing to design fixture that would ensure consistent, repeatable drops

  • All products needed to consistently withstand drops from varying heights depending on technical requirement documents

• Worked with IR lenses to restrain in fixed position

Analyzed FAI/CPK data to understand assembly issues for products

• Looked into tolerance stack-ups to specifically identify the problem

Communicated directly with JDMs about specific issues

• Attended weekly night meetings and presented issues observed in parts

Maintained a Stratasys PolyJet 3D printer on a daily basis

• Fixed issues by troubleshooting with technicians and running tests

Designed assembly fixtures on SolidWorks to aid technicians

• Created drawings for individual parts using GD&T

• Communicated with technicians to improve the design

  • Worked with fixtures in the clean room of the office which handled the lasers

Worked directly with a machinist to create easily manufacturable designs for a CNC machine

• Learned about the benefits and limitations of this method of manufacturing

Processed change orders from preliminary state to release using Empower (PLM Software)

Edited and created drawings using GD&T to modify tolerances based on manufacturing concerns

Designed, 3D printed, and tested tools for the manufacturing technicians to use

• Communicated directly with technicians on what tools can be helpful for production

Strategically ran tests to ensure work instructions were fully accurate and could be 

Checked part compatibility from different suppliers

• Researched alternative vendors when there were cost/new revision concerns
