Amber Schmidt Email & Phone Number

I am a Process Engineer at Erie International Group, working on a multitude of projects including process optimization, commissioning of new processes, and design of different systems. Starting as an intern at this company, I worked with contractors and vendors to build a 350 TPD palm oil deodorizer, as well as conduct data analysis and lab studies. As I progressed into a process engineer position, I commissioned this deodorizer with a cross-functional team while working on process improvements for the system using Rockwell Studio 5000 products.In addition, I have participated in the start up and optimization of a 15,000 SCFH steam-methane reformer. Together with a team, we were able to achieve 99.9% purity of hydrogen. Aside from these main projects, I have experience in A3 root cause analyses, Emerson Delta V programming, account management, task delegation, and project leadership.As a student, I was an intern at both Xellia Pharmaceuticals and Goodyear Rubber and Tire, totaling 2 years of engineering experience. These internships provided insight in reading process and instrumentation diagrams, Microsoft Office application usage, root cause analysis, and different manufacturing processes. I was also President of the Cleveland State University American Institute of Chemical Engineers chapter and a member of Choose Ohio First. In these roles, I was able to enhance my leadership abilities and participate in multiple projects both independently and on a team.
