BROSE NORTH AMERICA, Auburn Hills, MI Mar 2016 – Present Industrial Engineer – End of the Line Testers (EOLT)

• Procured EOLT (ranging from $250K to $1M) for testing drives, cooling fan modules, and power lift gate products.

• Wrote specifications, optimized testing concepts, analyzed quotations, and monitored all activities from design phase to start of production.

• Achieved 25% price reduction by optimizing testing concept for addition of new variant on power lift gate tester.

• Led a problem-solving project addressing oil pump tester sequence resulting in 30% reduction of cycle time.

• Kicked off 3 product engineering changes in drive train actuator product successfully within 1 year during design phase for EOLT.

• Implemented engineering changes on drive train actuator EOLT’s design for ease of adding future variants preventing major overhauls of EOLT.

• Developed 2 new suppliers in Brose’s procurement protocol, resulting in time savings for future business. INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS (IAC), Alma, MI Apr 2015 – Mar 2016 Industrial Engineer

• Created Visual Basic tool to simulate linkage between several assembly lines and the paint line, resulting in time savings of at least a week for validating various scheduled scenarios.

• Rearranged plant layout based on computed space requirements for pre- and post-assembly stations, enabling optimal use of storage space and avoiding use of rented storage facility.

• Balanced post-paint assembly operation with occasional peaks in painting throughput, preventing the need to add or borrow additional labor (1-2 operators).
