engineers to determine the most effective way to detail prints to ensure the priority of critical

dimensions being inspected.

Assist on panel interviews for hiring new engineers.

Gas Engine Performance Engineer (March 2012 – January 2013) – Contractor (Aerotek)

Job Description:

Six Sigma Green Belt certified

Group consisted of 4 Engineers: one specifically for G3300/3400, one G3500, one for G3600 and

myself. My responsibility in that group pertained of:

Obtaining knowledge of all engine families to provide support to the other

engineers.

Create software packages and test data for production engines.

• Used existing field data and test cell data to create these software

packages.

Assist in test cells when engines are performing out of spec.

Create SRR (special rating request) data for customers requesting engines to

perform outside of nominal air temp and altitude.

• Any SRR data where the engine was estimated to run at 75% or less than

optimized power had to be approved through marketing, engine design,

among other divisions.

Project lead for less than 30 methane fuel project.

• I initiated this project myself after presenting to my supervisor the

amount of requests we received for these specific types of ratings. All

data was calculated and extrapolated because we had no prior data on

these families of engines running on that low of a methane fuel.

Customer interaction on domestic and international scale. Worked with our German counterparts

on multiple occasions for the G3600 Large Gas Engines.

I assisted in the implementing of the first production of the G3600 Gas Engines from the

o

technical aspect (i.e. creating software and test data for the engine to perform/pass in the

test cells and creating specific ratings data).

Completed sustainability engineer roles. I represented the Gas Engine Performance group at a

weekly meeting where data was passed down through marketing and procurement on how the

engines performed in cells and during first-run in the field.

Update the spec/tolerance in our published data for future production purposes
