Mechanical Design, Project & Process Quality Engineer
I am offering years of engineering expertise in mechanical systems design
and analysis, high volume manufacturing process improvement and control,
microelectronics automated circuit assembly, circuit packaging thermal
analysis and microchip development. Used hand calculations and analysis
software for Finite Element Analysis of mechanical parts for stress,
thermal, and vibration response. Used statistical analysis software for
quality improvements in manufacturing. Very hands-on in troubleshoot
electromechanical system problems. Trained engineers and technicians. Wrote
technical manuals and whitepapers. Sign-off on $12M capital equipments.
