● Acted as project lead under guidance of the company president to introduce a new thermoforming line into our SQF/GMP/ISO plant● Redesigned the plant’s layout in CAD to make space for the new line● Worked with contractors on machinery moving, HVAC, wall moving, auxiliary equipment providers, electric services and plumbing to accommodate new thermoforming line● Worked with life safety building systems vendors on sprinkler system upgrade/deficiencies and IR scans of electrical equipment● Coordinated between all stakeholders on project scope of work, scheduling and costs● Led weekly meetings to update company presidents and engineering manager on project status● Designed 3D concept/prototype models and created programs in Cimatron CAD/CAM● Executed CNC setup prior to machining● Assisted in assembly of tooling ● Adjusted mechanical components on sample thermoforming machine to make sample parts● Performed an internal audit of our measurement protocols in preparation for our annual ISO9001 audit

Mississauga, Ontario

● Designed an add-on mechanical tool to alleviate the ergonomic problems for operators working on a laser welding machine in the production lab● Delivered presentations during phase design reviews to all my stakeholders for the aforementioned project ● Completed an incoming quality assurance spreadsheet as part of a larger control plan which detailed the specifications and validation/verification methods for incoming components● Calibrated, assembled and integrated 50+ incoming measuring tools into the production lab to increase production capacity for our customer’s spinal radiofrequency (RF) standard ablation probe● Executed tensile tests on spinal RF ablation cooled probe samples as part of its performance qualification (PQ) during process validation● Created and updated engineering change orders (ECO), design manufacturing records (DMRs), tool documentation (IQ, CP, MP) on the online quality management system (eQMS)● Ordered off the shelf/custom parts from vendors as needed● Supported new cardiology product during their design V&V phase by taking surface images of different samples

Austin, Texas Area

● Supported the Process Integration Engineering (PIE) team on the night shift by executing their online requests and by acting as a point of contact between them and manufacturing ● Responded to manufacturing inquiries and concerns by checking passdown information or online sharepoint system, looking up information on system databases or by escalating to the appropriate engineer ● Took out high priority die-wafers from production and transported them to the testing lab for TEM, SEM or electrical testing● Ensured new process changes take place by making certain lots run a new engineering change order (ECO) or by making sure they skip a series of existing process steps● Ensured certain lots run special metrology steps, run certain rework loops or run on a specific machine on the fabrication floor● Took on a project that required me to use JMP statistics to extract yield data of PIE’s ongoing experiments. Compiled the data into a report which my supervising engineer presented in the daily morning meeting.● Created/updated standard operating procedures (SOPs) to facilitate knowledge transparency across multiple departments● Led daily operations team meetings at the end of my shift to pass down crucial information to the next shift● Took courses on statistics, lean manufacturing and fundamental electronics

Houston, Texas Area

● Improved on a CFD simulation procedure by establishing good sets of parameters within the software which yielded convergence quicker without sacrificing on solution accuracy● Presented my project’s results to executives within Halliburton● Used NX to design a CAD macro model to simulate drilling cutter geometry for design optimization● Used a light scanner on used drill bits that calculates the amount of its material volume lost

● Responsible for maintaining NOV Pressure Control Group and vendor product data ● Assisted the lead engineer in inspecting NCR parts and deciding on it’s disposition
