About Joshua Ratz E.I.T.

Enthusiastic, independent/team oriented, & easy to approach mechanical engineer and certified Pennsylvania Engineer-In-Training with interests in manufacturing, design, industrial, quality, and mechanical related positions. My motto is "to work hard and change the world one project at a time!" I love mathematics and how it pertains to engineering & design. I take pride in my work and very conscientious in that regards for whatever assignment I'm working on. I am a professional at all times, but I also have a good sense of humor which keeps me upbeat & motivated in tough times. Without a good sense of humor while on the job, the tension of things going wrong and stress in the workplace is never a good thing and the worse it gets the worse a team functions & mistakes happen which isn't good for anyone - company, its employees, customers or visitors. If a company's not working as a team, it won't last.One thing that makes people smile is when I am so precise & accurate with a figure they offer a look of surprise, wonder, & curiosity. It's part of the perks with loving one's strength: looking at various application whether a system the size of an excavator or a dump truck or that of your average home appliance or a watch on one's wristband. In high school, I loved calculus, physics, & statistics.Since graduation, I continue to look for projects to keep my skills up & open to broadening my knowledge in manufacturing. Believe in American-made & will continue to work to make everything American-made. Must be proud of our accomplishments.While in transition:Keeping Skills Fresh - CAD Projects• Machine Theory & Design Car• Bosch Boot• CrucibleNetworking• Attend Lehigh Valley Professionals, Job Fairs & Manufacturer's Resource Center events & others as well• Connect with people at various companies asking about the business & the products and offering to assist in exchange; Meet for lunch if necessaryVolunteer• Find articles on job search• Constantly share jobs leads I'm not a fit for• Share my methods of resume writing & cover letters and how I get phone callsTraining - Manufacturer's Resource Center• Introduction to ERP Systems• ISO 9001• Solar Energy• Lean Manufacturing 101Taught myself new skills in:• Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) / Automation / Control Logic Gates / LogixPro• Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machiningEventsEnergyPath ConferenceJune 2011, 2012, 2014Politically, I am American-made & I believe in American-made. Hopefully, it'll return to its formal stature at some point.
