South Bend, Indiana Area

- Developed weld parameters and machine settings based on materials and joint geometry for friction welding processes, satisfying customer specifications when applicable.- Determined material and equipment requirements for development and production.- Evaluated weld quality and, when applicable, determined how to modify the weld process parameters, part.

Appleton, WI

- Worked with the welding engineers in the Weld Process and Systems Development group, assisting with ongoing projects.- Assigned several research projects investigating possible advances to the GMAW process.- Performed X-Ray analysis of welds according to AWS A5.10 code.

Tuscaloosa, AL

- Worked alongside the Fügetechnik group learning about and working with the various joining technologies used in the manufacturing process.- Compiled a master list of the laser welding parameters which is now being used as a backup of known good parameters in case of failure and parameter loss.- Reviewed the weld post-analysis procedures and made.

Longview, TX

- Tested and validated a device which was in development to detect welding transfer modes of GMAW during the process.- Minor work with finite element analysis and 3D modeling.- Tested the effects material properties have on transfer mode of GMAW.
