Sparks, Nevada, US

• Led manufacturing engineering team responsible for assembling 5.5M 2170 cells daily across 14 production lines in Tesla Gigafactory

Sparks, Nevada, US

• Led two high speed 2170 cell assembly production lines responsible from jelly roll insertion to cell formation
• Quickly firefight large unplanned downtime events by investigating equipment failures, conduct root cause analysis to solve issues, and establish preventative maintenance changes to mitigate future downtime events
• Create SOPs/WI’s for all battery assembly line equipment, which includes equipment troubleshooting, machine parts assembly guides, and critical dimension inspection checkpoints. Train and update changes to engineers.

Kadoma-shi, Osaka, JP

• Spearheaded ‘Aero Shelves’ project to decrease a refrigerator’s energy consumption by 40%. Brought on new instruments/tools to the company, such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) and CFD analysis to quickly test.
• Led development testing in new ‘Heavy Duty’ refrigerator, which posed many challenges due to being our largest merchandiser. Evaluated and overcame structural failures such as shelf hinge buckling, excessive shelf.
• Improved manufacturing floor processes by designing and creating unique 3D printed tools that sped up curved glass installation time by 20%. Implemented tools such as Six Sigma (Green Belt), Root Case Analysis, DMAIC.
• Developed and led testing for Hot Air Curtain System (HACS) to hold chicken wing temperatures more effectively. The design decreases food temperature variation and cuts costs by implementing a forced air convective.
• Led morning stand-up meetings to help identify key bottleneck areas that diminish testing time and OEE. Control team's testing schedule to maximize chamber space and provide metric updates to management weekly
• Schedule post-testing reviews with a cross-functional team to issue punch list items and address potential areas of concern. Assign and track responsible owners to confirm items are fully resolved by given deadline
