• Developed product functional requirements, designed mechanical parts, and created product verification test plans for next generation HMIs and Modular redundant I/O systems.• Investigating additive manufacturing solutions for early and low volume production plastic parts. • Designed stop gap solutions for component and raw material shortages providing like product performance with little impact to product delivery. • Creation of CAD drawing files using Creo 7.0 and SAP CAD integration management system.• Tolerance and stack up analysis of multipart systems and performed statistical tolerancing techniques to provide final part dimensions.• Mechanical design of PCBAs, including connector selection, generating board outlines, mechanical interferences, and verifying PCBAs meet the mechanically relevant IEC standards.• Developed and performed one factor at a time shock and vibration test plan to identify largest contributor of energy input to a multi-board PCBA assembly. Then provided a solution to reduce the energy input into the board to board connector pair. • Analysis of multiple fastener yield strengths and fracture points using data gathered by DC electric drivers to provide appropriate torque specifications.• Developed a torsional test suite for mechanical actuator application and presented to key stakeholders.• Created and managed product requirements, functional requirements, and test plans in JAMA. • Created and managed stories, exceptions, and anomalies in JIRA.

• Facilitated multiple line moves to new locations within the plant • Created production line layout options using AutoCAD, leading to the consolidation of production lines by 5,000 ft^2 and an 80% reduction in area footprint. New production lines could be added to the department. • Managed over 2000 material changes within SAP, updating multiple material attributes • Created production line move schedules, collaborated with team members to minimize production conflicts, negotiated project costs with outside service vendors, and reduced costs by 50% creating a project savings of $33,000• Created and updated a 250,000ft^2 AutoCAD layout of the current manufacturing facility
