OEM warranty testing of reported customer defects for Toyota, Stellantis (Formerly FCA), BMW & GM.Motor warranty analysis testing for Armature/commutator (Roundness testing & visual signs of EOS), Stator (Visual Signs of EOS), brush coil (Visual Signs of EOS &, circuit testing), and worm wheel (Signs of missing/contaminated grease or broken/shredded gear teeth).Linkage assembly warranty analysis for signs of linkage damage and stripped blade arm spindle shafts, presence of grommets, presence of intact/undamaged and properly greased plastic bushings.Blade arm warranty analysis to determine no functional damage to blade arm, blade attack angle and blade arm force are within upper/lower specs.Wiper blade visual inspection to determine NG/OK condition of blade cover & blade wear, wipe test to determine blade wipe quality, and microscope examination of blade to confirm NG/OK condition of blade.Generation of reports detailing analysis procedure and results for customer warranty claims under supervision of QA Warranty Specialist.Assisting with reliability testing for GM new model ZERV (Corvette C8) under supervision of QA Reliability Specialist.Blade arm analysis to determine blade attack angle and blade arm force are within upper/lower specs before and after testing for low/high speed testing requirements.Determine multi-point distance measurements of driver and passenger side wiper blade in relation to each other, and in relation to upper, lower, passenger and driver side distance to windshield edges are in spec.Programming and Utilizing an Atlas Copco Power Focus smart torque driver; to match GM's line-side conditions, to determine repeatability of torqueing blade arms to linkage spindles within torque spec.

Implemented a white board to help track daily activities for the Manufacturing Engineering department in order to allocate resources where they were needed most.Assisted floor assembly engineers in the process of creating work instructions for associates in the assembly area and signing off assembly associates.Monitored calibration process of ETO lift trucks on assembly line for Walmart production order and reported daily results; results were in the form of fork heel and toe heights calibrations based on the customer upper and lower spec, directly to my supervisor.Performed multiple time studies for the fork-marriage welding process to determine average time from start to finish to complete 1 pair of welded forks for lift trucks to assist in determining ROI on the equipment.Began a hammer reduction project in lift truck foot-step assembly station to reduce pinch points hazards for inserting bushings into step-weldment. Speaking with associates helped me to determine that the best method that would satisfy associates assigned to this workstation and best prevent injury was use of a 1-ton arbor press with a custom designed fixture for bushings created in Seimen's NX CAD.

Helped students with questions during ‘Intro to CNC' labs and ‘Materials and Processes' labs, supervised by Dr. Sharon RouseAssisted Dr. Jim Linn with cataloging and forming a plan to implement Siemens PLC parts for Department of Technology Systems ‘Industrial Internet of Things' projectHelped students navigate RSLogix 5000 program during Electromechanical Systems lab, supervised by Dr. Jim Linn

Pre-engineering of commercial, government and military HVAC Test and Balance projects by reviewing contractor provided mechanical sheets and submittal data.Design review of mechanical sheet markup included using color coding to identify supply diffusers, return registers, exhaust fans, outside air vents; equipment such as, rooftop units, air handler units, heat pumps & hydronic based systems.Calculation of CFM values on drawing for Supply diffusers, return registers; and where applicable exhaust fans and outside air, per room/zone connected to an air-handler to determine proper air balancing.Confirmation of flow rates, pump specs, etc. for hydronic based heating & cooling systems provided on submittal dataUsing AirNAB software to input pre-engineered information from design review to assist field engineers/technicians in field work.Prepared pre-functional test reports with available submittal data for field engineers/technicians to assist in field work.Organized mechanical drawings, pre-functional reports and submittal data for ‘Steam 2 - Camp Lejeune' & ‘Steam 3 – Cherry Point'. This was achieved by creating a detailed database, for field engineers/technicians to access project data via the company's server.
