As a product engineer, I was able to guide the product development for a number of categories, including waste cans, storage, lighting, kids party, and stationery. I was able to receive 5 patents for my designs in these categories and more are pending. During my time, I was able to build a robust knowledge of international manufacturing, from hanger manufacturing to latex balloon manufacturing. I used this expertise to develop new products that met the consumer's needs while reducing costs… Show more As a product engineer, I was able to guide the product development for a number of categories, including waste cans, storage, lighting, kids party, and stationery.

As an associate product engineer, i was tasked with the development of 300 skus annually with $300M in sales. One of my key projects was to update the material utilization of our core product line, saving Target $2.5M a year by updating the materials of picture frames to a domestically sourced recycled EPS. An unintended consequence was a reduction in defectives and freight costs because of weight, further amplifying the savings

I was hands on involved with the everyday manufacturing and assembly of circuit board assemblies. I conducted tests to troubleshoot defective products and also produced manufacturing protocols for new assemblies. I quoted all of the new products for existing and potential customers as well as keep an ongoing communication line with customers to discuss challenges and improvement possibilities.

I specialized in working with schematics to solve problems and adjusted specifications in advanced circuits to obtain optimal results. I also arranged and directed meetings with other facilities and departments to develop solutions to company-wide problems. Additionally, I wrote and produced the test manuals for products I helped develop.

As a Co-Op student, I was in charge of maintaining functionality of the 21 servers. I continuously worked with software and hardware engineers to implement revisions and report on performance changes. I was trained using a wide variety of test equipment such as logic analyzers and oscilloscopes. After receiving consistently positive feedback on my work, I was promoted to the position of Circuit Design Engineer.
