Formerly Program Manager & Product Engineer

Flextronics bought Saturn Electronics

Develop and process resin to meet customer specifications. A custom compounder of TPU's, TPO's, and other olefin based resins.

I worked as a liasion between the engineering group and the test lab. I worked with the lab on testing parts, designing test fixtures, and compiling data. I worked with the engineers and customers to present data to the customer, and if failures occur work with the engineers to modify test methods or part design to help pass the specification. I work on Nissan and Chrysler for a few years, but mostly worked on Honda projects.

I was the engineer to design and have thermoformed parts built that was sold to injection molders to make wood grain automotive interior parts. The thermoformed parts I work on were insert injection molded. I helped with all aspects of launch, mfg., design, tooling and timing. I worked on Honda and GM cars.

I was first and intern in the quality group and then got hired full time as a setup on second shift. Then I moved into the test lab and stayed there for the last four years of my work there. I left to complete by engineering degree - I could complete it in one semester if I quit and went full time, so that is what I did.
