• Accountable for developing, implementing, and maintaining methods, operation sequences, and processes for the assembly of high-performance computing solutions. • Support day-to-day manufacturing operations by providing new and innovative engineering solutions to real-time issues.• Evaluate inefficiencies and implement improvements by using LEAN tools/practices to improve manufacturing processes.• Establish and maintain the purpose of a “Core Team” while effectively allowing others to contribute. • Responsible for creating manufacturing time standards that drive productivity and decrease manufacturing costs. • Promoting and facilitating LEAN certification workshops to cascade knowledge, contribute to the overall vision, and enable individuals to develop/implement their own unique vision. • Design, implement, and support processes for new product deployments: tooling, infrastructure, standard work, personnel support, etc. • Discover business issues and identify projects of diverse complexity evaluate and recommend appropriate alternatives.• Implemented TPM Program (Total Preventive Maintenance) within the value stream to track equipment and escalation paths for quicker response times to equipment defects or breakdowns.

As an Operations Lead Engineer for the Pure Power Program in NPI (New Product Introduction) at UTC Aerospace Systems provide project management, supervision and optimization services that guarantee delivery of products in a timely manner. Track progress of units, yields and unit reworks. Adjust to changing demands (EC's and JIS), and strategize with managers/supervisors and production floor personnel to assign cell area task. Initiate and participate in Root Cause Analysis (RCA's) when issues arise, participate in QCPC in different cell areas while providing feedback on problems and identifying with quality control defective parts and wrong parts to improve workmanship. Coordinate with Planning, WLOX and PHX to ensure product delivery and the availability of manufacturing materials for order completions.

As an Industrial Engineer provided support to several clients of the Diabetes External Pump Manufacturing Line and several other capacity increase and improvements projects at Medtronic Puerto Rico Operations Co (MPROC Juncos). Performed observations (Time Studies) and mathematical calculations to determine capacity and time standards for the manufacturing and packaging lines. Determined different scenarios for daily demand projections and optimum solutions to reach projected goals. Implemented duplicate stations and validated equipment for capacity increase based on capacity analyses for manufacturing lines. Implemented ideas from the Kaizen Idea Program, and established better workflow in key areas. Identified bottleneck areas and suggested improvements among other tasks. Worked directly and effectively with supervisors and team leaders on daily task. Reported daily mix attainment goals for manufacturing lines, established shop floor, WIP (Work In Process) and other standards. Worked with Zero Escapes Program team at packaging line identifying possible problem areas within processes and suggested improvements. Analyzed procedures and identified non value added activities, eliminated and clarified work instructions. Analyzed change and impact of workflow process and procedures for packaging area. Created file detailing complexities of packing process for each station by identifying material used for each product packaged. Performed station and layout analysis to determine optimal configurations. Trained supervisors, group leaders and oversaw operators compliance with reports, work standards, metrics, new organization strategies and work procedures (SOP/ POD).

New Product Integration to existing Manufacturing Facilities:Performed a viability study that identified areas to be used for new manufacturing lines based on relationship with other areas. Prepared material and people flow analysis for various phases of the project in conjunction with the presentation of different layout alternatives for implementation of product line with its corresponding cost analysis, measurement studies and production capacities.

Coordinating storage supply area for product developed, working in production line, optimizing process and helping in production planning for product.
