OBJECTIVE
Mechanical engineer with strong emphases on precision and problem-solving. Combines creative thinking with logical analysis and design in order to develop unique and effective solutions to a wide variety of challenging problems. Proven to be successful in self-managed and team-based projects and labs. Experienced in written and verbal communication.
EXPERIENCE
Quality Engineering Intern, Nuance Systems Inc. Tigard, OR
oJune 5, 2017 to August 31, 2017
oDesigned gage R&R studies.
oCreated WinSPC charts of incoming and receiving parts used to manufacture inert gas cylinders.
oWrote procedure and trained personnel how to add data to collection plans in WinSPC, as well as how to create new parts and collection plans.
oPresented SPC results to Executive Management
oCompared the cost and utility of various 3D profilometers for automatically and accurately measuring the dimensions of machined parts while staying within a budget of $10,000.
Academic Experience, UW Platteville/Fox Valley Collaborative Menasha, WI
oGained experience working with heat exchangers, condensers, air ducts, different modes of heat transfer, gearboxes, water pumps, springs and dampeners, design and assembly for parts and prototypes, as well as static and dynamical systems.
oGear Reducer Project, November 2016
oWorked independently to design a compact three-stage gear reducer for a 3 HP motor rotating at 2225 rpm using advanced strength analysis that reduced the output shaft speed to 30 rpm.
oSenior Design Project, January-May 2017
oWorked with three other students in order to create a prototype safety addon to commercially available angle grinders for Boldt Construction, working from conception to a working early prototype.
oFailure Analysis Project, September 2016
oSuccessfully worked with classmate to analyze the cause of failure from a bronze sailboat boon and performed analyses and materials research in order to create a new design that corrected the previous failure.
oPower Plant Design, October-December 2016
oCollaborated with two other students to design a natural-gas power plant that would produce 100 MW of power that involved regeneration, phase changes, large-scale heat transfer, convection and conduction, and would ultimately turn a profit.
