Write specifications for new equipment, new product launch including process setup and design, Trouble shoot problems that occur thru the course of production, train team on equipment associated with new launch. Prepare documentation associated with new launch. Draft and design tooling and equipment associated with New Launch Downtime and defect reduction. Countermeasure problems that occur during production.

Developed software that automates, simplifies and eliminates errors in production this software is in use throughout the company.Created, maintained, and modified Auto Lisp programs to increase productivity and decrease errors.Developed Interface software for Nd/Yag Laser used for engraving.Setup laser engraver at our facilities in the U.K and the U.S.Trained operators and supervisors on the use, maintenance and trouble shooting of the Nd/Yag Laser.Drafted in AutoCAD and then used third party software to create the .dwg file into NC code.Develop and maintain custom software that others and I have developed to increase productivity. Develop processes to increase the effectiveness and quality of our product. These include tools to merge and error check NC code, software to automate and control marking lasers, Software to streamline the generation of NC code for specific processes and the training of operators to utilize projects that I have developed.

Programmed, administered and interfaced a computer to a micro milling machine in order to create fluidic circuits. Drafted fluidic circuit drawings using Solid Works, created these circuits using a micro milling machine and tested these parts using air pressure gauges. Created circuit boards using a micro milling machine.Converted Solid Works and Auto Cad files into CAM files to create G-codeMachined components for active fluidic spindle and bearingsTeamed with peers to draft and create circuit boards and fluidic parts for the successful implementation of a Plasma to Fertilizer systemProactively monitored inventory of milling bits to ensure no machine downtimeTroubleshot and repaired a surface detector on a micro milling machine.

Assisted with creating and developing the Northern Illinois University micro milling machine. Configured setup files, selected and ordered components, created test parts, and troubleshot and corrected machine issues.Researched, analyzed and recommended to the Department Chair the purchase of a CAM package called Visual Mill for use in creating G-code filesIdentified problems, tested for parameters and developed software based on data collected to solve issuesDesigned the software to interface a computer to a helicopter motor with a spindle instead of using a spindle and motor controller for a cost savings of at least $3000Teamed with mentor to increase positioning accuracy of a milling machine from 13 microns to 3 micronsTrained two peers in the use, programming and troubleshooting of the NIU Micro machine
