    Quality Engineering Intern
    Tesla May 2020 - Aug 2020
    Austin, Texas, Us
    - Developed the inverter line control plan to document equipment and process gaps that result in the manufacturing of defective parts- Designed, prototyped and implemented a lineside tool fixture using SolidWorks to reduce occurrence by 5% of a process defect that results in loss of product function- Utilized SPC and process capability tools to identify laser welding processes with low cpk values (<1.33) and supported process improvement activities. Acquired extensive knowledge of keyhole laser welding. Presented process knowledge, failure modes and controls in a technical presentation to the engineering team. - Implemented torque testing reaction plan to improve data collection and minimize occurrence of a high RPN failure mode. Resulted in a $50k per week savings in scrap cost.- Investigated fastener rundown false pass failures using 5 why and fault injection root cause analysis. Developed and implemented equipment program controls to improve detection.- Developed and implemented revisions to multiple quality audits to standardize and improve process control
