- Determined key contributors and detractors for machine availability and uptime. - Analyzed root cause of equipment, process, and quality issues; worked on a cross functional team to implement solutions that improved output, reduced downtime, and delivered value to the business. - Validated new processes and equipment through PPAP, MSA, and validation part runs. Led trial runs for design updates, cost-out, and new product launch / transition initiatives. - Implemented error-proofing / poke-yoke solutions to minimize quality spills.- Worked closely with operators to understand areas of opportunity and risk in the assembly processes. - Fostered collaborative relationships with assemblers to enact change that improved their daily tasks. Trained operators to standard work, process changes, deviations, and other changes that impact standard processes. - Create, maintain, and update process documentation (i.e. PFMEA, work instructions, process flows, standard work, posted references, process documentation, and visual aids etc.). - Pareto analysis of major issues impacting production to focus improvement efforts. Monitor first pass yield for critical processes.

At EMAG I developed complete manufacturing systems for the production of high precision metal components across various industries. - Developed machining processes and selected appropriate tooling, work holding, and machine solutions that met quality and performance requirements. Experience in dealing with various workpieces and materials across multiple industries. - Reviewed part prints (apply GD&T concepts / principles) and created cycle time estimates & processing plans for workpieces that featured tight tolerances and complex datum structures. Utilized different machining technologies to achieve required quality.- Developed new tooling, work holding, automation, and machine design solutions that addressed process challenges. Utilized CAD software to design concepts for review with internal and external suppliers.- Worked with vendors to procure quotations for equipment. Coordinated delivery of individual parts of the supply chain to maintain project timing. Evaluated vendors for technical & commercial competencies.- Created technical documentation packages that outlined scope of supply & measurement protocols. Worked to develop acceptance criteria for programs through demonstrated quality & performance (CPK).- Experience in conducting root cause analysis for issues that occur during different phases of a project. - Utilized internal calculation sheets to create and maintain project budgets (i.e. material, engineering, manufacturing, & install costs).

Orlando, Fl

- Created a consulting company that provided engineering design services to individuals across various industries.- Developed customer relation and project management skills to satisfy customer demands.- Developed products with individuals on various projects across multiple industries. - Gained exposure to design for manufacturing and designing for mass production.

Orlando, Florida

- Completed FMEA analyses for medical products to ensure high performance and quality.- Designed instrumentation and implant products that are used by surgeons today.- Worked on a team that designed and launched new knee and hip replacement systems.

Orlando, Florida

- Learned the phase design process, introduced to GD&T and FMEA.
