. (AMP. AR and TE) Mil Spec, Customer, vendor, ISO and FDA audits
regarding both design and shop floor.
. (AMP, AR and TE Connectivity) Developed materials, procedures
and trained operators for insert molding, soldering, adhesives
bonding, potting compounds, and cleaning methods as well as in
process inspection
. (AMP) Selected to move from product development to manufacturing
to resolve problems with new and existing designs for MIL-C-
Filtered connector. Up to 100% failure rate in production.
Revised product design, developed alternative manufacturing
methods and materials, smaller lot sizes and documented in
process inspection. Resulted in reduced rework/ greatly improve
production rate and shipping product on time.
. (TE) Successfully completed VITA 67 product qualification/validation
testing including, help writing product spec, test plan protocol,
