OBJECTIVE

Senior Test Technician Position

RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS

. Redesigned a drive system for an extrusion pump that improved

reliability by over 90%.

. Created a Polyester material loading system that decreased load

time by 75%.

. Designed a material storage system that decreased down time by

80%.

. Created a test station to characterize liquefier and plastic

material traits that closely simulates machine performance

resulting in more reliable test data.

. Designed a system for quickly and accurately measuring color

consistency of plastic color samples.

. Created a system for life testing of a plastic extrusion head,

XY gantry and stepper motors that accelerated testing results

from 5 years to 3 months.

. Wrote programs for plastic material degradation testing that

accelerated crucial test data from 6 months to 3 weeks.

. Designed fixtures for life testing of electric solenoids that

provided test data from 3 months to 5 days.

. Created a cost effective system for accurately measuring

hysteresis on an XY gantry that saved thousands of dollars over

more expensive measurement systems.
