• Responsible for execution of updating, troubleshooting, diagnosing and repairing highly complex capital equipment at customer sites.• Assures operational quality of metrology system equipment.

Austin, Tx, Us

Performed and supported the on-site installation of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Meticulously adhered to training and best-known methods (BKM) to successfully install wet etch tools in a cleanroom environment. The equipment I installed was internally comprised of various robotics, motors, as well as chemical/gas lines. Coordinated with customers/trades using written/verbal communication to reduce equipment installation downtime. • Utilized root cause analysis/corrective action processes to assimilate data from diagnostic issues in electromechanical equipment, and troubleshoot towards effective solutions. • Exercised strict safety measures through the use of PPE and risk management during daily work. • Prepared Pre/post-activity checklist (PPAC) documentation on a daily basis to coordinate installation tasks and an action plan towards execution and additionally reflect/review results.

Arlington, Va, Us

Conducted R&D for the Naval Postgraduate School (Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program/NREIP) to plan the requirements for future implementation of a microgrid in a proposed SLAMR robotics facility. R&D included principles of microgrid technology and the infrastructural relationship with the facility. Submission requirement of a final report detailing findings. • Research and development behind various legal challenges, fiscal management, value proposition. • Organized discussions with the Department of Navy advisor on the nature of the previously existing environment (water treatment facility). • Proposed power demands relative to SLAMR facility needs as well as a conceptual microgrid layout.

Milwaukee, Wi, Us

The National Fluid Powered Association (NFPA) presented Arizona State with a competition amongst multiple universities to develop and create a human-powered fluid vehicle using hydraulic technology (Fluid Power Vehicle Challenge/FPVC). The capstone project included a collective of four core engineers, alongside faculty/student advisors. Focused on the development of a vehicle/bicycle that utilizes fluid power through energy transfer/user operation. • Conducted fiscal management, regen-brake, hydraulic system, and test plan design/development.• Managed direct line of communication and relationship with industry sponsors/program board and the rest of the team as a liaison. • Developed the hydraulic system implemented for fabrication of the hydraulic manifold of the vehicle.• Circumnavigated logistical problems due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the final semester of the project. • Achieved Rookie of the Year Award in the team’s first year of competition.

Tempe, Az, Us

Supervised coworkers in establishing a safe environment and oversaw the establishment of outstanding customer service. • Inspected and documented the condition of various facility mechanisms through an audit. • Updated system logs with daily facility maintenance needs and monitored facility controls software. • Coordinated with vendors/other campus departments to ensure service request completion for ongoing events/repair needs.

Performed research and development revolved around the development of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells, more specifically in their gas diffusion layers (GDL) and electrocatalysts contained within them. Development of an extensive report detailing findings, with both peer and faculty reviews.• Researched concepts of PEM technology, as well as their electromechanical structure.• Executed mechanical assembly, disassembly, and connection of a PEM fuel cell stack. • Conducted research analysis consisting of developing low/non-platinum catalyst design for PEM fuel cells.• Development yielded a 4-layer GDL and carbon-based electrocatalyst which exhibited power density values to justify future research.

Lemont, Illinois, Us

• Lead a team of 3 engineers in the refinement of the full-vehicle system model using test cases.• Collaborated directly with the controls team to successfully integrate a vehicle controller (HIL tests).

Lemont, Illinois, Us

A multi-year General Motors/Department of Energy sponsored Advanced Vehicle Technology Competition (AVTC) with 16 total North American Universities. The primary goal was to encourage automotive/engineering development and convert the existing vehicle powertrain of a 2016 Camaro into a hybrid-electric system.• Utilized system modeling and simulation tools such as MATLAB and Simulink to develop a pre-transmission parallel, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.• As a member, I assisted with vehicle model development in Simulink vehicle body, electric motor/battery, ICE, etc.• Refined Model for accuracy and calibration with test cases; executed real-time controller validation
