As a Research Scientist and Mechanical Engineer, I actively design test plans, test procedures, test articles, determine and plan resources requirements, including test personnel and equipment, and efficiently lead teams during test execution. Successfully mentor and train junior staff to achieve organization’s goals and objectives. Generate formal reports regarding test budgets, brief stakeholders on progress, evaluating and document results. Participate in technical planning meetings, providing project status versus budget to project management staff. Research and develop additional technical information training in areas related to security equipment testing, including non-intrusive inspection, and associated scientific disciplines, physical security applications, human factors, operations research, statistics, electrical/mechanical engineering, and systems engineering.

As a Manufacturing Engineer, I coordinated equipment and process changes as well as evaluated and approved engineering changes, and successfully developed detailed work standards for assembly and operations resulting in scrap reduction from 5-20% to 1%. I assumed responsibilities for developing routing processes for ERP, implementing systems and improvement strategies for material flow, providing cost estimates to assist with Make/Buy decisions. Performed DOE and helped develop IQ, OQ, and PQ procedures for execution of validations. Trained employees on SOPs for various departments, including Purchasing, Inspection, Calibration, Clean Room Activities, Service/Repair, Complaint Handling, Auditing, Good Documentation Practices, etc., and assisted Management Representative during audits to obtain ISO 13485 certification. Worked closely with suppliers to coordinate field failure investigation, and reported and tracked suppliers’ complaints and performance. Coordinated external testing for Sterilization, Shipping, Packaging, Cleaning Validations. Worked closely with suppliers to coordinate field failure investigation, and reported and tracked suppliers’ complaints and performance. Effectively developed environmental monitoring procedures to ensure product sterility and quality as per FDA and ISO standards. Assisted with planning and purchasing of quality software for calibration, complaint handling, statistical analysis, etc.

Minimized any negative impact through evaluation of component manufacturing process improvements and its influence to plant assembly operations. Worked closely with Planning, Operations, and Finance departments to carry out capacity analysis, including development and innovative solutions provision. Assisted with line balancing and cycle time analysis to provide current production metrics. Outlined documents for process qualifications in regards to IQ, OQ, and PQ and provides information for Process FMEAs to develop robust manufacturing processes. Developed and revised documentation for new and existing products, including BOMs, SOPs, routers, etc. Designed manufacturing-related fixtures using SolidWorks and establishing preventative maintenance and calibration plans. Experienced in establishing manufacturing parameters, using DOE and statistical analysis through MiniTab and Quality Companion software.
