WORK EXPERIENCE

7/12- present Boeing South Carolina, N. Charleston, SC

Electrical Manufacturing Engineer / Process or Production Engineer

• Developed step by step methods and instructions to build product and assemble components for over 100 air crafts

• Recommended product and assembly design changes which resulted not only in reducing component damages and eliminating rework, but also in efficiently and easily building the product at rate and less costly.

• Effectively communicated with management, customers, and other stakeholders on production capabilities to clarify statement of work based on the available assets, on schedule to reach desired rate, and on problems to predict risks and prevent roadblocks.

• Determined product specifications to ensure that product is built as designed

• Coordinated with production to determine optimal schedules, work flow, and work stations to avoid rework and delay in the critical path.

• Assisted production on various protective equipment and tools to protect parts and ensure quality for continuous improvements

• Designed, developed, maintained, and released Electrical Wiring Installation Plans for more than 70 Aircrafts (Boeing 787 Dreamliners); worked in different projects as a process engineer;

• Spent more than 25 hours a week investigating and analyzing electrical components using CATIA V5, IVT, DELMIA, and ENOVIA. Reviewed electrical designs before release; gave technical support to customer

• Verified for over 100 installations (15 hours a week) that equipment were installed as designed and following documented processes and procedures by ensuring that installations plans conveyed engineering intent.

• Assisted and mentored more than a dozen manufacturing technicians to understand and improve the development and maintenance of Electrical Installations plans;

• Conducted preliminary and final design reviews

• Regularly used IVT to design Electrical Product Graphic Reference Documents which provide a clear orientation view and support the statement of work;

• Used my problem solving skills to identify risk, issues, and opportunity. Organized, managed and resolved these in a timely manner. Worked efficiently with internal and external commodities and groups.

• Analyzed existing SOIs and build plans and captured opportunities (sequencing, optimal work location, critical path) and implemented proposed solutions which saved the company over 20 hrs. per ship set.

• Presented projects and updates to customers and upper management ( using 4-squares, cut sheets, …etc)

• Successfully work on project that optimized build flow time: investigated and identified constraints, identified parts and engineering, and initiated a change request (a CR that impacted BSC and partners)

• Continuously communicated with Production to initiate and complete project that caused roadblocks such as removing constraints caused by upstream partners or proposing and implementing enablers for optimal outcome.

• Assisted production to achieve short term and long term rate enabling initiatives by investigating current processes, conceptualizing optimal processes, then authored Installation Plans to implemented these optimal concepts which will expedite flow time and reduce or eliminate 700 hours from current value added flow.

• As a core member of lean global production system, identified potential rate enablers such as reducing waste by devising a method of kitting necessary parts and standards which will assist Mechanical Technicians to perform more value added work (which increased rate and moral)

• Understood and Implemented 5S +S (Sort, Simplify, Sweep, Standardize, and Self-discipline + Safety);

• Adhered to Lean Manufacturing and safety for diligence improvement and quality deliverance;

8/10- 6/12 University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA

Control Engineering

• Graduate Project - Performed a Literature Review on Networked Control Systems (NCSs); Looked at issues related to Stability in NCSs (Network-induced delay, Data packet drop out, Multiple packet transmission); Analyzed stability and proposed methods for these issues (Discrete time delay, Asynchronous dynamic system, finite communication bandwidth)

• Feedback Control for a Water-Juice Fountain model – Modeled the system using three-tank system. Used modern control theory to analyze the stability, controllability, and observabilty of the MIMO system, then using MATLAB designed a feedback control for the MIMO system (Water-Juice fountain).

• Optimal Controls – Analyzed and Investigated Optimal Control of Discrete and Continuous system problems using Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) to find an optimal solution.

Power engineering

• Photovotaics - Reviewed Multiple Exciton Generation (a third generation photovoltaic) Systems (Solar cells)

• Power Electronics - Analyzed converters such as the Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost, Cuk, SEPIC, …etc. in the continuous and discontinuous conduction mode

Communication and Signal Processing

• Performance of Virtual Carrier Sensing RTS/CTS - Examined the effect of activating and de-activating RTS/CTS in a mobile Ad-Hoc Network. Using Unix, MATLAB, Putty, NS-2 and C++ knowledge to model and simulate different scenarios

• Reviewed Cognitive Radio Standardization and Research – Applications and Markets, Membership and Regulatory Framework, Topology, Service capacity and Coverage, Phy and the MAC layer for cognitive radios, and Coexistence in 802.22

• Wireless Communication – Performed projects dealing with Transmission Schemes, Coding, Radio Propagation, and Information Theoretic Capacity.

• Mobile Data Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks – Investigated IEEE 802.11, MANETS, Sensors, and VANETs

• Discrete Signal Processing – Investigated Signal Processing Theory, and Designed discrete filters (IIR and FIR) using MATLAB

Computer Application to Engineering

• Eye Blink Detection – Developed a user friendly application that detects eye blinking using C++, ITK, Open CV, and Qt. the application first detects the face, then the eyes, and finally detects blinking.

• ASCII image generation – Utilizing C++ and ITK generated a user friendly interface that draws images with different shapes such as triangles, rectangles, or circles.
