Design responsible for pump hardware, hydraulic circuits and oil filtration. Ensure that adjacent subsystems are properly designed and work together to meet system requirements; shift execution timing and pump electric motor torque Led team in DFMEA of the electric pump system. This led to identifying software changes that significantly increased the operational robustnessSupplier Development: 3 years of experience working with and developing Asian supplier in areas of Assembly Error Proofing, Defect Mapping, Sediment Control and Analysis, in-process Pass/Fail criteria, and PPAPDefine requirements, plan and execute tests needed to achieve design and process validation. Identified areas of risk and have developed many tests to probe for problems and to validate the designExperienced in identifying failure root causes through data analysis and hardware evaluation. In depth working knowledge of software algorithms and calibration used to control hydraulic components.
