PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

INTEL CORP. Aloha OR October 2021

Supply Chain Engineer

Project Planning: Forecasted supplier tools delivery and managed tool and material inventory Defined critical path and executed schedule efficiently to reduce warehousing cost to a minimum.

Coordinated and scheduled tool software feature and performance upgrades in accordance with contractual obligations and the company-projected roadmaps

Managed project documentation including specifications, Request for Quotation (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP), floor and equipment layouts, and facilities connection details.

Collaborated with commodity managers for timely review of supplier quotes, pricing negotiation, and release of purchase orders worth ~ $30M using a robust Should-Cost model.

Built cross-functional alignment with suppliers and TD teams to enable year-over-year growth and capacity expansion and develop tool capabilities to meet industry-wide roadmap.

Drove supplier compliance to commitments to meet throughput, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) standards made in equipment specification and purchase agreement.

Assessed key quality and on-time-delivery metrics quarterly to ensure seamless execution holding suppliers accountable to 90%+ performance.

Developed and handled stakeholder (supplier and internal) relationships and facilitated Technical Review Meetings (TRM) for suppliers to showcase current and emerging technologies they have developed.

CUMMINS INC. Columbus IN June 2017– October 2021

Senior Mechanical Project Engineer

Completed Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA) for critical components (High Voltage Batteries and Wireless Fast Charger) with subject matter experts to understand failure modes and design components reducing the failure rate by 95% Included risk mitigation measures

Managed validation tasks for electric truck testing. Created Design Verification Plan and Reporting (DVP&R) documents and test plans to accommodate.

Developed experimental procedures and data processing scripts for accelerometer vibration and lube system mechanical efficiency tests.

Documented technical reports including learnings from led projects for continuous improvements to future products during research and development (R&D) phase.

Created and executed test plans to validate engines and their components.

Performed friction study tests for different engine sizes. Analyzed and presented the results in technical reports. Estimated fuel economy savings from recommendations were as high as 0.45%.

Implemented checkout of prototype engines prior to testing to ensure the engines performed properly reducing potential damage to the engines with values above $50 000.

Completed lube system mapping tests further used to validate analytics models for lube circuits. Results also facilitated management decisions on the size requirement of lube pumps for overall engine efficiency.

Executed valvetrain development tests to determine effective lifts and velocities for exhaust and intake valves. Results from tests have shown valve seat angles to achieve close cycle efficiency by 5%.
