Performance Qualification, Modulus of Rupture, Depth Of Layer, Process MappingJob Duties:- Scrap & Rework Reduction- Increase product throughput -Communicated with equipment manufacturers and fixed equipment being used on a long standing process using small glass parts by increasing operation yield from 55% to 80%.- Optimized, re-designed, and validated multiple existing fixtures & tooling for production. - Coordinated and established Arisa’s engineering laboratory. - Provided stakeholders with project planning, management functions for development including project scheduling, costing, and milestones.- Interfaced with numerous customers and suppliers to support new or improve products.- Defined, planned and executed projects directed at process development for new products.- Communicated effectively with Abrisa sister company to develop new process and requirements to build new products.

Drove solution recommendations to management regarding lubrication and hydraulic sub-system problems which resulted in increased product reliability and quality. Developed a grease lubrication sub-system in collaboration with electrical and software departments as part of a continuous improvement project to reduce maintenance and servicing of machines by end user. Created design reference documentation/ guidelines regarding new lubrication sub-systems which established best practices and procedures for other departments within company. Collaborated in re-designing an oil lubrication sub-system using less and common-use parts which resulted in reduced cost and product build time. Developed detailed system and sub-system functional requirement compliance testing plans to validate machine reliability and quality. Created organizational SAP logic structure in regards to machine optional vs. standard features by reducing BOM, part and sub assemblies, which reduced SAP logic code. Initiated design and or manufacturing process changes to increase quality of sub-system and component improvements by performing engineering failure analysis (EFA) on returned field failures (MRB).
