Manage team of manufacturing engineers that support and improve the production value stream across multiple operations and technical processes.

• Manage industrialization, development and validation of LEAP and GE9x 3D woven composite fan cases.
• Coordinate design of part router and order of operations for the manufacturing process. Provide feedback on design and manufacture of composite platforms for design improvements to be implemented on next set of.
• Communicate and execute change requests from customer to team of engineers to successfully implement modifications to the manufacturing process.
• Help drive and monitor reduction in rework rate and increase product yield.
• Oversee projects to ensure cost, labor time, and cycle time targets are achieved.
• Maintain configuration control between multiple plant locations.

• Plan, direct and coordinate bonding processes for 3D woven composite LEAP fan cases. Operations include surface preparation, bonding of fire protective prepreg to composite, bonding of honeycomb to composite with use.
• Daily responsibilities include interactions with parent company (Safran Aircraft Engine, France), Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and various suppliers for materials and new equipment; creating work instructions and.
• Core responsibilities are to develop process improvements, operator training for new operations, and review production data to predict trends or develop new acceptance criteria with customer.
• Responsible for developing rework processes for issues during LEAP fan case manufacturing as well as parts returned to Rochester facility after damage occurred during engine assembly. Reworks range from removing small.
• Safran has LEAP manufacturing facilities in three locations, Rochester, NH (Plant 1), Commercy, France (Plant 2), and Queretaro, Mexico (Plant 3). Lead coordination efforts to align manufacturing processes in all.
• A few long-term projects include writing machine specifications, performing provisional, preliminary and final acceptance testing for purchase of two vertical autoclaves and two walk-in ovens, and team member to.

• Manage development of manufacturing process for 3D woven composite platforms for a new development engine project. The platform is new to Safran production – process development started from scratch and includes.
• Core responsibilities include coordination between parent company (Safran Aircraft Engine, France), Production, Supply Chain and other process engineers to determine priority list and manufacture test sets within the.
• Coordinate design of part router and order of operations for the manufacturing process. Provide feedback on design and manufacture of composite platforms for design improvements to be implemented on next set of.
• Daily responsibilities include monitoring part flow through manufacturing process. Identify bottlenecks and schedule operations accordingly to mitigate late delivery. Detailed tracking provided to parent company weekly.
• Responsible bonding process engineer for the composite platforms. Working to develop out of autoclave cures for fiberglass prepreg bonding process using an oven and mechanical pressure in a vacuum bag. Developing.

• Assisted members of engineering team with 3D woven composite fan blade bonding trials for LEAP engines, including use of autoclave, pressure sensitive film, basic dry layup of carbon, and peel test coupon manufacturing.
• Performed annual temperature uniformity studies on LEAP production ovens and autoclaves (both horizontal and vertical) as required for special process qualification.
• Managed and developed robust use of contact profilometer as a production tool to measure surface roughness of Titanium and painted surfaces. Created daily verification system to isolate inaccurate data in the event of.
