Mechanical Engineering in Test EngineeringSupported Laser printer development of toner cartridges, cartridge memory, cartridge seals, and paper path sensors. Built testers for development, parametric lab, and manufacturing for ink jet print heads. Worked with integrators: ATS in Ohio, ATC in Tennessee, Lanco in Maine. Used EthernetIP, OPC Server, PLC and Oracle databases. Programmed secure RFID and smart Chips on Ink Jet Tanks. • Built 5 charge mass testers for laser printer development, measuring charge and mass of toner going across laser printer developer roll to determine charge variation across the roll.• Measured torque-to-turn laser printer toner cartridge with Himmelstein torque sensor, indicating torque change as toner is used.• Calculated amount of paper skew in laser printer paper feed robot, using CIS sensor.• Measured J-Seal force on toner cartridge, ensuring toner did not leak past seal.• Verified laser printer fuser programmed correctly by employing FIC fuser memory reader.• Balanced Laser Scanning Unit motor (laser print head motor), using motor balance fixer.• Created software and hardware, emulating new printer to test toner before printer existed. • Nominated Test Engineer of the Year by Test & Measurement World in 2006 by National Instruments for using same hardware / software from development, parametric lab, to manufacturing, identical tester used for development was used for manufacturing. • Supported ink jet printhead production in Philippines, Mexico, Singapore, and Scotland, solving manufacturing problems, reducing test time and introducing new products, testing over 4K nozzles in less than 3 seconds and supporting 10K parts per day, analyzing data to resolve high-fail items.
