I worked with an engineering team to develop a new medical device. My role involved defining design inputs, conceptualizing my design ideas, implementing my ideas into functional prototypes, and evaluating my prototypes based on set criteria. My work allowed me to work extensively with additive prototyping and allowed me to design for an additive manufactured final product. I worked extensively with the GE Additive group and outside suppliers to fabricate my prototypes.

Position Summary:• Made changes to processes, work instructions, assembly cells, and tooling based on my own observations and continuous improvement feedback from assembly operators.• Created drawings for tooling and assembly floor layouts.• Created and modified work instructions for new and existing products.Contribution Examples:• Made a proposal for and implemented significant changes to a hydraulic press assembly production cell to mitigate the risk of back injuries that had cost the company $180K in the previous 3 years.• Created manufacturing floor layouts in AutoCAD for the packaging area.• Created drawings for a warehouse relayout and worked with contractors to ensure proper implementation.• Made a recommendation on the location for the implementation of a heavy-duty torque driver trial based on torque callouts on drawings and frequency of builds to target high risk areas for shoulder injury among assembly operators.
