Generated detailed verification plans, protocols, summary reports, and Design History Files. Reviewed the engineering change notices used by developers to document changes made to firmware before testing takes place.▪ Coordinated with a cross-functional team on Design Failure Mode Effects Analyses (DFMEA) to identify risks, and display the type of testing carried out to minimize problems and reduce risk. ▪ Performed firmware verification for multiple instruments independently, that included bacterial identification and susceptibility. Participated as leading firmware verification on Virtuo, a new blood culture instrument that is currently being developed, and successfully verified the first two firmware releases. ▪ Identified and corrected bugs and field issues in the firmware code that need to be addressed in a timely and efficient manner. Partnered with firmware developers on problem identification and the development and testing of a solution to enable its release into the field. Show less

▪ Researched and developed a new rail chemistry for intermediate hardness applications. ▪ Tested product strength through tensile analysis and presented test findings for technical review.

▪ Performed material testing using charpy impacts to determine the ductile to brittle transition temperature for products and assisted in making metallurgical decisions for steel testing.

Chemical and microstructural analysis for grain size and chemical composition to insure they met specification.Machined and tested tensile and charpy specimens. Developed a fluid flow measurement device for quench tanks to minimize quench cracks.

▪ Tested composites for auto bodies through tensile analysis.▪ Supported purchasing department in sourcing out test trials.▪ Assisted engineers with various projects, paperwork, and data collection.
