GE Marine LM2500 Module Modernization Program (MMP) • Involved in planning, organizing, and developing an innovative product over the course of 5 years. Successfully meeting key design requirements (i.e., Corrosion resistance, 50% weight reduction, increased thermal performance, and improved acoustics).• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement fabrication layouts and processes, working primarily with carbon fiber composites.• 10% waste reduction of high-value production materials by increasing machine throughput and developing travelers that allow material to be kitted then inspected weeks before required by operators.• Establish vacuum assistance resin transfer molding (VARTM) techniques for manufacturing carbon phenolic composites. Reducing total cost by maximizing shelf life of all production material. • Develop/initiate methods and procedures for production, inspection, testing, and evaluation. 25% reduction in man hours by producing interactive training methods and detailed documentation.• Provide field support during installation, testing and start-up. Using risk assessment matrix, allowing open items to be resolved in time to meet completion deadline.• Serve as liaison coordinating projects and communicating design changes with engineering, manufacturing, procurement, program management, and various other personnel as needed.

• Worked with internal departments and external vendors to obtain prototype parts and to understand their capabilities/limitations. Focus on procuring high quality materials to improve product performance and ensure ease of manufacturing. • Developed master BOM database to simplify material ordering and pricing. Tracked performance by monitoring key metrics (i.e., stock shortages, overnight delivery charges, etc.)• Lead daily engineering meetings to track and resolve all open RFI’s.• Designed manufacturing processes, procedures, and cell layouts. Including equipment installation, machining, material handling, and assembly.• Reduced production time by 50% and increased accuracy by repurposing high speed routers to eliminate touch labor.• Developed and mentored engineering co-op students. Assigned constructive roles and responsibilities and met weekly to discuss results and unexpected hurtles. • Created and updated documentation directly through use of CAD systems.• Developed material properties through ASTM standardized test methods.• Supported, analyzed, and oversaw non-destructive testing methods (Ultrasonic and acoustic emissions)

Fairfield, Ohio, Us

• Worked directly under senior engineering to develop standard operating procedures.• Used established procedures to gather and correlate basic data.• Performed routine engineering duties involving composite manufacturing processes and simple testing. • Installed, operated, and troubleshot milling, high pressure water jet, and ultrasonic cutting machines.
