Scope customer research requests, price deliverables, project manage ongoing tasks, and ensure customer requirements are metSample Projects:• Validated low cost changes to a water tunnel using CFD allowing my client to bid on a new project.• Researched distribution strategies of major companies in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, building a comprehensive picture of the market and enabling my client to assess 5 new vertical markets in those regions.• Performed mixed pallet optimization for a startup positioning a product for retail sales; recommended changes to packaging that would allow the customer to reach their targets for each pallet configuration

Kirkland, Wa

Responsible for the design, qualification, verification, and implementation of new tooling and processes to improve manufacturing. • Improved yield in the final stage of the production process, increased operator’s efficiency and eliminated variation caused by operating outside of process specifications by upgrading a LabVIEW electropolishing program to include temperature tracking and constraints on key variables.• Authored 13 tool qualification reports (TQRs) and 15 document control orders (DCOs) with rigorous statistical analysis to justify changes

Kirkland, Wa

Responsible for electropolishing product components to meet surface roughness and diameter requirements within ±0.002” tolerances• Doubled the manufacturing capacity per shift by assisting in the design, construction, and qualification of 2 new electropolish stations.• Trained 4 new technicians and 2 engineers in electropolishing and inspection, and assisted with capturing standard procedures

Assigned to respond to manufacturing issues to minimize downtime while long term solutions were found• Eliminated the need for 100% inspection of components used on 5 different product lines by developing new testing protocols.• Created the attachment method for a new component and was added to the provisional patent application as an inventor.
