Suggested new measures that were added to the program. - Field verification and analysis using Excel to create elegant, state-of-the-art analysis tools to verify energy savings due to energy efficient upgrades, including but not limited to: Lighting and Controls, HVAC and Controls, VFDs, Building Envelope, Refrigeration, Custom Food Processing equipment, and Industrial SEM improvements.- Developed and implemented efficient data capture tools including web-based surveys, phone-based surveys, paper-based field tools, and a tablet field data collection app.- Performed commercial energy surveys/audits at over 100 facilities across Oregon and Washington, including lighting audits at schools, churches, small and large office buildings, retail facilities, restaurants, and more.- Evaluated energy savings due to energy efficient HVAC and controls upgrades, VFD installations, and retrocomissioning at commercial and industrial facilities. - Developed statistics-based evaluation samples for multiple impact evaluations.-Developed QC procedures and process flow map to efficiently QC baseline survey forms to give the field tech next-day feedback. This dramatically reduced data collection errors and inaccuracies, as the field tech was able to implement the data collection QC feedback at the next day’s site visits. Show less

- Led prioritization efforts for out-of-spec, critical parts to be reworked under severe time restrictions.- Represented R&D teams during manufacturing prototype build.- Designed a well-received poster showcasing team’s emerging technology.- New plastic part design—Patent pending through HP: In legal process.- Assembled a safety manual pointing out all possible safety hazards for which the team was responsible.

- Crafted audit procedures for manufacturing processes.- Inspection and defect analysis of focal plane arrays that were later used in thermal imaging cameras.- Consolidated test data to pinpoint manufacturing errors.- Redesigned shipping packaging to minimize damage to optical windows.- Communicated with suppliers to ensure parts were being made correctly.- Conducted ISO 9000 internal audits as part of a team of three.

DESIGN: - New product design- Designed cleaning fixtures and cleaning processes for parts that would be used in a class 1000 clean room manufacturing environment.- Designed a hazardous particle exhaust system for setup of a new diamond-point cutting machine used for milling on semiconductor devices.- Tooling (includes design and modification)- Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)PROCESS ENGINEERING: - Performed Pareto analysis to find the root… Show more DESIGN: - New product design- Designed cleaning fixtures and cleaning processes for parts that would be used in a class 1000 clean room manufacturing environment.- Designed a hazardous particle exhaust system for setup of a new diamond-point cutting machine used for milling on semiconductor devices.- Tooling (includes design and modification)- Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)PROCESS ENGINEERING: - Performed Pareto analysis to find the root cause of damaged parts, which cut down build time by 7 minutes per part on a production schedule of 1000 per month. - Characterized optimal temperature and time settings for various plastics on a new vacuum forming machine. - Conducted time studies to optimize welding processes.- Performed Statistical Process Control (SPC) on Zeiss CMM.
