PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant University of Waterloo Waterloo, ON Sept. 2017 – Jun. 2019 Key Responsibilities:

Research & Development: Innovated and developed proof of concept for method using strong analytical and problem- solving skills. Managed all phases of product creation using multi-tasking skills to lead and collaborate with research and development team members within fast-paced environment with the ability to read blueprint and interpret GD&T.

Project Team Leadership: Planned, monitored, and provided end-to-end support and leadership for multiple research and engineering projects, assisted from project communication throughout the various phases, project kick-off presentations, schedules, design reviews, to ongoing progress reports, scheduling and 2D/3D product modelling. Completed independently and as well as ensured the team met tight deadlines with time-management skills.

Resource Estimation: Performed initial research to determine product specifications and requirements, executing Lean, 5S and Six Sigma principles for manufacturing and continuous improvement principles with safe work practices to analyze and project a reduced cost, improved quality. Coordinated with the internal department of R&D team for new product development applying the root cause analysis methodologies.

Data Analysis: Performed initial analysis to assess the data from high speed imaging, further analysis to determine the meaning of the data, and final analysis to provide additional data screening and prepared reports based on analysis and presented to R&D team. Implemented statistical tools and techniques, process capability indices to monitor the processes and reduced variations in processes.

Resource Procurement: Discovered profitable suppliers and initiated business and organization partnership. Negotiated and influenced external vendors and suppliers for quotation, programming and sampling. Utilized the fundamental concepts, and procedures with hands on experience of general machining tools, engineering calculations, and appropriate use of measuring equipment in labs in order to deal with most situations.

Manufacturing & Design: Analyzed defined requirements and specifications to develop a proof of concept for product manufacturing and carry out test to check they meet specifications thereby validating initial data and plan, design, set up, and monitor manufacturing processes with knowledge of general fabricating and machine shop.

Progress Reporting: Prepared weekly progress technical reports, development updates in spreadsheets, analyzed and interpreted survey results. Participated and presented with PPT innovative project results to SMEs by maintaining superior communicational and organizational skills, attention to detail and commitment to the accuracy.
