The summer internship at TTM Technologies in San Diego consisted of one major project and two formal minor projects. The Major project revolved around a new machine the plant had received, an Ultrasonic Tester/Hydroscan machine. The overall goal was train on the machine and learn the capabilities of the machine, design a permanent fixture that will scan all products, design a special adapter to scan curved PCBs, create a Job Training Instruction (JTI), and train an operator to use the machine. The design of the permanent fixture started with a few different iterations that changed rapidly as the capabilities of the machine became more apparent. Once the full capabilities of the machine were realized the final design was rendered in 3D software and parts were ordered. I cut and assembled the parts, then installed then onto the table within the tank and began the qualification process of the fixture. I set scan paths for all the different sized panels/parts and tested the speed, pixelization, attenuation, and indexing. This was to find the best speed to pixel ratio to see the voids and delamination within the parts. Once a good ratio was found the curved fixture was added and the same process was completed. After the qualification was completed, live production pieces were processed using the Hydroscan machine to verify the new process. With the qualification and verification completed, a 29-page JTI was drafted and submitted for approval to the Quality department. The Plant handover for this project included the JTI, future recommendations, parts list, fixture measurements, fixture location measurements, and all 3D rendered files (including 3D print files). The project was completed and handed off to a mechanical process engineer within the given time frame and to the satisfaction of the Process Engineering Department.

While at Certified Tire & Service Centers I leaded the value of team work and how to lead my fellow coworkers in the day to day operations of an Automotive Repair Shop. Shortly after graduating with my automotive and twelve Ford certifications from Universal Technical Institute I started as a General Service Technician with Certified Tire. The duties of a General Service Technician included changing the filters and oil and most automobiles, cleaning the shop, providing costumers with transpiration, picking up parts and tires, and making the daily bank deposits. After 9 months I was moved up to Part Installer/Apprentice were I began to learn and work on vehicles in a more professional setting. I would replace parts and all fluids in a vehicle under the guidance of the Lead Technician. Shortly, I began to gain his trust and worked on my own and began to take on more complex repairs. I was moved to a full Automotive Technician in 6 months and began to work on my own without direct guidance. I performed many different types of diagnosis and repairs, to include by not limited to, Air Conditioning, Brakes, Suspension, all Drivability concerns, all electrical systems. Throughout the day maintaining a clean and safe work environment was the top priority. After a couple years I was then given the Lead Technician position where my duties now included training the new hires and helping the shop manager control work flow of the back shop. I began to mentor a fellow coworker who was a General Service Technician and had him moved up to my Apprentice. He looked to me for guidance on diagnosis and repairs, and within the year he was moved up to Technician.

Twentynine Palms, California, United States

My time in the United States Marines was cut short due to an injury, but in the short time I learned an incredible amount. In boot camp I was charged with the duty of being the Head (leader) scribe (secretary) for my Drill Instructors. Unlike what happens with most billets dury boot camp I was not rotated out or fired and graduated boot camp still in that position. During my training at the School of Infantry (SOI), I learned the basic values you teamwork and small team leadership. I was put in the Area 52 Guard unit and was tasked with guarding Ammo Supply points as well as area patrols to maintain peace and order. After leaving SOI I ended up going Reconnaissance Training Platoon, this is were I developed a keen ability to work in and lead a 6 member team through extremely stressful and harsh conditions. I sustained an injury while training and was re-stationed to Twenty-nine Palms Ca, where I was put into an infantry unit. Shortly after my arrival I was promoted to Lance Corporal (E-3) and given more responsibilities within my new unit. Being the first new marine to join the unit since it had returned from Iraq, I was tasked with leading and mentoring all new incoming Marines. When the unit was split for pre-deployment, I was put in charge of driving and maintaining my teams High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV). I had to maintain precise maneuvers through dangerous and stressful actions in order to keep my team safe and the HMMWV serviceable. The injury I received while in training never heal properly and I was eventually Honorably Discharged under medical conditions. In the short time I was in the service I learned how to work in small team, lead small teams, work under pressure, follow direct orders, ability to think quickly and effectively under stress, and what true integrity means.
