Act as lead assembly ME in an IPT environment on a startup program for a new customer. Coordinate with all functional groups to achieve and maintain process certifications to the new customer requirements. Work with QA to adapt existing internal processes to fully MBD based programs. Interrogate 3D models for design and quality requirements, transfer the information to the team, and develop assembly planning and process documentation to satisfy the requirements. Develop tool string and inspection points to verify all engineering and quality requirements have been accounted for, and support the QA department during the FAI process.

Work in a low-rate composites production environment, working as the sole engineering support for multiple programs. Act as liaison between Quality, the shop floor, and production control, working to improve existing processes and streamline the production flow. Determine the appropriate response to nonconformances in accordance with customer and industry requirements to quickly and correctly resolve the issue and continue production. Responsible for overseeing the tooling design and fabrication processes, first article inspections, creation of shop orders, and identification of potential failure modes and effects during the startup phases of a new production program

Worked with five other interns to develop and refine a simulation detailing the flow of parts used in satellite assembly in the PMC facility over the next 2.5 years. Studied the processes used to integrate each component and used the information to increase efficiency and streamline assembly.
