At UTC Aerospace Systems, I created manufacturing operation sheets for electro-mechanical components on multiple spacecraft subsystem and defense programs. I also supervised technicians performing assembly operations while verifying steps and working closely with the test and quality control portions of the manufacturing process. Another main responsibility was working with field units to repair the product's mechanical features and circuit card failures. I dispositioned manufacturing anomalies with rework solutions to ensure the product remained on track with the production schedule. At product check points, I performed environmental tests in various chambers to ensure the quality and function of the product. I also worked as part of the mechanical design team to come up with models, drawings, and 3D-printed prototypes of masking tools and support structures in Creo with proper GD&T that corrected repetitive manufacturing anomalies while increasing process efficiency.

As a Gas Operations analyst, I collected and analyzed data from Picarro radar technology while drawing and presenting conclusions about improved leak detection accuracy and time efficiency over the current model of operations. This technology helps detect leaks in underground gas mains and service lines to better protect the residents of the New York City area who are powered by the company. I also enhanced weekly leak survey reports with pivot tables and aided visuals to help workers understand where the team stands in terms of annual requirements and goals. To help our hired outside contractors understand the company's policy on reporting gas leaks, I created pseudocode on how to handle and report certain types of gas leak situations. Lastly, I went to the gas development lab to investigate pipe failures in our system caused by material wear.
