• Analyzed heat transfer gradients across custom built black bodies and designed thermally isolating shells to reduce heat variation and optimize camera calibration accuracy
• Designed a production fixture that cross-references infrared camera and pyrometer thermography readings throughout varying temperature ranges to qualify camera quality
• Aided in the design of a fixture that will calibrate hundreds of thousands of infrared cameras a year
• Designed production fixtures to assist line workers in product assembly and to accelerate throughput
• Created and modified multipage drawings of complex assemblies
• Spearheaded data migration from local databases to a PDM system by researching the necessary hardware/software, and collecting peoples input on organizational practices

• Utilized lean manufacturing and Six Sigma concepts to eliminate wastes and reduce out-of-flow numbers by 91%
• Designed, fabricated, and maintained production line fixtures with the use of SLA and FDM 3D printers which lead to a decreased of fallout by as much as 22% and reduce cycle time and line down periods
• Reduced production down-time by remedying software crashes and identifying sub-assembly parts not built to specifications
• Organized MRB meetings and coordinated with Director of Supply Chain and the VP of Manufacturing to properly disposition NCM
• Analyzed quality issues with RMA recoveries to create a feedback loop and ensure corrective actions are taking place in production
• Created procedural documents that standardized and clarified work instructions across all production lines

Santa Barbara, California Area

• Determined failure root causes and corrected electrical shorts, discontinuities, and power consumption problems
• Planned and plumbed wire routes in newly constructed buildings

Santa Barbara, California Area

• Utilized Solidworks to design and optimize a multi speed, omni-directional swerve drive wheel and transmission module
• Designed pneumatic assemblies and machined parts for various components of the robot
• Performed routine maintenance, and emergency repairs during competitions
• Designed features for cable management around the robot and plumbed all the power and PWM wires, and air hoses
