In this role I develop and implement process improvements for EDM hole drilling operations to reduce nonconformances and production turnaround time. Some major projects I've led include the following: 1. Designed and implemented an SPC database to capture machining data for the EDM cooling hole drilling of high-pressure turbine blades and integrated an automated feedback loop from inspection operations later in the manufacturing process.2. Pioneered technical on-the-job training requirements and a tiered machinist skills development system that was adopted and standardized company wide.3. Generated standardized operating procedures, work instructions, and technical guides for critical highprecision machining operations. 4. Leveraged Lean manufacturing principles including Kaizen events & DMAIC framework to perform root cause/8D analysis of defects & identify and address sources of waste in existing processes. 5. Established PFMEA and process maturity matrix for EDM department to continuously identify areas of improvement for the drilling process to reduce COPQ and improve turnaround time. 6. Automated First Article Inspection procedure to validate EDM machine setups to eliminate human factors in production cycles. 7. Performed regular internal process audits to ensure compliance with AS9100/ISO9001 quality management system requirements. 8. Designed and modified tooling & gauging to increase reliability and repeatability of EDM hole drilling processes.

In my role as Engineering Intern, I was involved in the following activities: 1. Reviewed tooling design blueprints & compared quotes from vendors to optimize cost & lead times. 2. Conducted product audits to ensure all manufacturing processes were completed according to the standard operating procedures and all features were conforming to the part blueprints. 3. Performed surface roughness inspections & grit blast operations. 4. Assisted with NPI development by identifying all manufacturing procedures & inspections necessary to ensure parts are conforming to the blueprint. 5. Created roadmap with RACI chart to clearly define the NPI process followed company wide.

In my role as Manufacturing Engineering Intern, I completed the following projects: 1. Designed and optimized shop floor layout to accommodate the installation of new machinery. 2. Conducted time studies of critical lathe & milling operations to identify sources of waste in standard processes. 3. Observed production welding procedures and made recommendations to the engineering team for ways to improve efficiency & worker safety. 4. Performed statistical analysis of NDT inspection data for commercial valves to define optimal machine maintenance schedules to minimize defects. 5. Designed workstation layout for a vertical turret lathe machine to improve work flow through the cell while keeping ergonomic considerations in mind.6. Programmed a laser engraving machine to reliably and legibly mark nameplates for submarine valves. Generated standardized operating procedure and maintenance log to support production operations.
