I worked underneath the lead engineer to assist with the production of air rings, which is the company's primary product. While there was a main template for air ring designs of various sizes, each job order we received had multiple parts that were customized, and it was my job to update the product drawings for each job. I also helped to generate and.

I worked as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team as a manufacturing engineer at a production plant. My main responsibility for this assignment was to solve production problems as they came up on the floor, by working with both the operators and other manufacturing engineers to discover and fix the root cause of the problem. Additionally, I worked.

Cincinnati, Ohio

I worked as part of the Thermal Systems Design team for the Passport 20 engine. My main responsibilities were monitoring and aggregating data from the certification tests that were ongoing, as well as running simulations for these same tests. Additionally, I created scripts to automate the process of running multiple steady state points for test.
