Prototype, Fabrication, and Testing support for the High-Tech Industries. Mullen Techworks is a small company who's skill set fills the gap between initial design, and mass-production.

Test & Prototype and R&D Technician for Fuel Cell humidifier and manufacturing equipment. -Baseline & proof of concept testing, prototype building.-Developed manufacturing equipment to streamline the production line.

I worked as a Mechanical Technician on the preproduction fleet of Ford Transit Connect (battery electric) vehicles. Removed gasoline/diesel IC components and readied chassis for installation of electrical subsystems. Most major vehicle systems were worked on including; -chassis/suspension/driveline modification for the ~360v Li-ION battery.-energy absorbing subframe installation.-Coolant pumps & plumbing for battery & DMOC cooling.-ABS & Vehicle Stability & Airbag modifications to insure compatibility with new vehicle ECU.Readying test vehicles for delivery to external test facilities.Accuracy and precision of work was paramount, as major project decisions were based off these preproduction (crash & endurance testing) vehicles. Interfaced with designers, engineers, and QC staff with regard to non-conforming parts, and either reworked/modified or quarantined affected components.Worked with engineers and Technicians to develop Standardized Procedures for the installation of critical driveline components.Supporting the software and control engineers by providing mechanical support for the test mule vehicle.

Prepared high quality drawing packages for clients, subcontractors, and proposal submissions. My position evolved into using 3D software to create detailed and accurate 3D models of sites. These tools enabled engineers to optimize the placement of cameras and antennae in complicated Port, Transportation, Urban, and Industrial sites.
