Primary duties include:• Work with a team of engineers to design, test, and build new hose assemblies. New hoses must go through pressure, flow, stretch, elongation, and controlled burst tests.• Use Solidedge software to design hose fittings, ferrules, valves, and end connections.• Analyze customer returned hoses for causes of failure.• Inspect hoses in post-production for defects such as overall length, strain, and ferrule diameter.• Perform quality inspections on incoming parts for production using precise measurement equipment.• Conduct hose recertification. Hoses must be recertified every 3 years with a series of testing.

I began working at Smart-Hose Technologies in the summer of 2017 as an engineering intern. I continued to work part-time during the school until graduation. Primary job duties include designing new products, testing new products, quality control, and hose inspections. Smart-Hose Technologies has been an incredible start to my engineering career by introducing me to a manufacturing atmosphere.
