• Undertook helium leakage testing, using fixtures made in-house to evaluate sealing performance against the application requirements. Furthermore, completed strength testing of raw material to check its conformity against the supplier’s datasheet• Completed engineering reports from numerical FEA simulation through to practical testing and submitted the reports for senior engineering staff review • Took lead role as internal project coordinator for the organisation’s largest customer… Show more • Undertook helium leakage testing, using fixtures made in-house to evaluate sealing performance against the application requirements. Furthermore, completed strength testing of raw material to check its conformity against the supplier’s datasheet• Completed engineering reports from numerical FEA simulation through to practical testing and submitted the reports for senior engineering staff review • Took lead role as internal project coordinator for the organisation’s largest customer during product qualification • Experienced a multitude of metal forming techniques from roll forming to die forming and assisted in the design and manufacture of future seals proposing suggested manufacturing techniques based on dimensional and material properties requirements • Exposed to electro-plating facilities to understand the critical role they play in improving the sealing performance or lubricity of the seal. In addition, utilised XRF to analyse the coating thickness to ensure it met specification thickness Show less
