Served as a plant engineering intern in a large, small-batch paper-converting company. Effectively managed several projects concurrently to solve design-related manufacturing and plant improvement projects. Required agile collaboration with cross-functional teams of engineers, technicians, managers, and contractors to find efficient solutions to manufacturing and safety challenges.Projects include:• Invalid package rejection system: Identified several solutions to a package transfer system. Determined work to be completed externally and sent proposal requests to contractors. Collaborated with contractors to specify solutions for implementation. Analyzed solutions and quotes to determine an effective path forward.• Stack Pusher: Determined the root cause of an intermittent manufacturing issue by observing the work completed. Ideated several designs and selected the most effective solution. Collaborated with maintenance staff to implement the new component.• Dust Prevention Fans: Developed and evaluated fan layouts for optimal dust prevention using numerical and practical techniques, reducing projected project costs below $150k. Coordinated with contractors and ensured system integration with fire prevention, creating comprehensive scope of work documents for mechanical, electrical, and in-house installations.

Supported the supplier quality and procurement departments, as well as manufacturing to ensure that the highest quality components are provided to the assembly line. General activities were completed by working on cross-functional teams across several plants and external supplier locations. Additionally, various projects are taken on based on workload and importance. Projects included shift actuator specification testing, exhaust manifold leak testing, and quality holding evaluation process development.General activities: - Analyzed and approved PPAP submissions for effective FMEA control plans and quality improvement - Evaluated rejected parts by interpreting engineering drawings and specification sheets to recoup costs - Proactively managed quality spills, corrective actions, and supplier audits to ensure optimal product qualityWorked on several key projects including: - Rotary Shift Actuator Tester: Designed and tested a device to verify the internal sensors' consistency/accuracy, prove movement capability, and measure the stall torque and current of a high-torque actuator. - Exhaust Manifold Leak Tester: Designed and tested a fixture and testing process for verifying the leak rate of lost foam cast manifolds. - Root Cause Analysis: Supported a cross-functional team in efforts to determine the root cause of an undersized bore condition in a high-stress area.
