Professional Profile
Materials Science engineer with over six years of experience in metal stamping, fabrication, design, and quality control. Various co-op and intern opportunities provided experiences with other industries and professional environments. I am adept at identifying process deficiencies and implementing improvements. My strong communication skills drive my ability to interface with customers, suppliers, and coworkers. I am comfortable adapting to new environments.
Experience
American Energy Innovations, Springtown, TX (Drafting Engineer) November 2018 – Present
This position covers drafting, design, and QMS implementation for a fuel service company:
Created building layouts for oil field housing and current shop and office space.
Original designs for products and process improvements.
Updated current designs to reflect actual manufacturing process.
Created drawings from designs for manufacturing to follow.
Creating and maintaining a QMS for hopeful API Q1 certification.
Provided training to shop employees on general QMS practices and specific manufacturing processes.
Ironform, Decatur, TX (Manufacturing Engineer) July 2013 – August 2018
This position covered design and quality control for large-truck parts manufactured for Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Caterpillar, and JLG:
Designed and implemented process improvements to increase quality in job based and JIT environments.
Created work instructions, setup sheets, and quality inspections for new and existing processes in fabricating, welding, and assembly environments.
Sourced and purchased tooling for CNC turret machines and stamping dies.
Completed four new stamping tools, one fixture, and a new crane as a project manager. Duties included RFQ, kickoff, design review, and final buyoff.
Managed tool and die department resources and personnel.
Reduced overall tool and die expenditures by implementing coated punches and machining consumables. Coated punches also decreased die maintenance intervals, allowing for more available tool and die time for emergencies and continuous improvement projects.
Reduced setup times with SmartPac system implementation in the stamping area. This reduced setup times from 90 minutes to 30 minutes, allowing for more setups and more parts run per day.
Ceradyne Inc, Lexington, KY (Hot Press Engineering Co-op) May 2012 - Dec 2012
This co-op involved process improvements on bullet-proof vests for the US military:
Performed quality and process audits, including final disposition of nonconforming product.
Participated in a cost savings project resulting in 2.2% profit margin increase per part. Project included designing a process to reuse/recycle tooling in its current form, instead of having the tooling cut to a different size by an outside vendor.
Performed analyses on products and process equipment to ensure continuing quality.
Reduced argon and nitrogen gas usage by finding leaks in the lines and malfunctioning gauges.
Reduced overweight failure mode by having operators seal containers of raw material during breaks and shift change, eliminating water vapor loss.
Led a raw material investigation that resulted in minimum and maximum nitrogen content ranges to reduce failure modes such as cracks, flashing, and underweight parts.
GE Aviation, Madisonville, KY (Quality Engineering Co-op) Jan 2011 - Aug 2011
This co-op was aimed at quality improvements for GE jet engine turbine blades:
Obtained Central Coatings Laboratory Diffusion Coatings Certification
Completed all lab duties as the sole lab personnel for four weeks.
Performed diffusion measurements for PVD, CVD, and TBC coated products.
Performed base metal audits on bare castings to ensure quality.
Performed SEM analysis on coatings to ensure proper material makeup.
Passed or failed runs of product based on the above criteria.
Performed wet chemistry analysis to check for proper concentrations for coating and rework processes.
Marathon Oil Refinery (Inspection Engineering Co-ops)
Robinson, IL May 2010 - Aug 2010
Ashland, KY Aug 2009 - Jan 2010
These co-ops involved inspection and failure analysis within two different refineries:
Helped create corrosion Process Flow Diagram for a mobile source air toxics unit.
Updated the positive materials identification procedure for the Maintenance Department using an XRF material identification gun.
Initiated and completed a potential damage mechanisms project for refinery database.
Performed vessel calculations for rerates and verifications as needed.
