MANUFATURING & PROCESS ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE

Manufacturing Specialist – Contract MEGGITT 2024 – Present

Led processes in maintaining and updating manufacturing instruction for product lines. Developed and wrote specific rework instruction for specific individual piece part of a product while managing analysis procedures on failed parts or customer returns. manufacturing process fast and have a good understanding of the manufacturing process.

Reverse engineered failed parts/customer returns as well as leading projects to simulate how a defective part will occur

Utilized red line drawings or process instructions for temporary or permanent change of the process

Work closely with production technician and operators as well as with the quality assurance teams

Provided training for both operators and technicians

Process Engineer SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES 2021

Instrumental in developing an environment free of defective or inefficient processes for manufacturing in a low volume, high mix manufacturing facility. Utilized various techniques such as CT scan, sectioning, microscope for failure analysis

Reviewed production fixture technical drawings to modify fixture—ensuring a decrease in errors within process

Observe operators on how they perform/understand the tasks in the process instructions

Worked with QA team on the basis of parts rejection criteria

Marked up process instructions to change the process flow

Statistical Process Control Engineer AEROSPACE DYNAMICS INTERNATIONAL INC. 2015 – 2016

Established a statistical process control (SPC) system for all products and determined the capability of the process by identifying and reporting discrepancy as well as gathering all data. Evaluated the cause of problems encountered and recommended an effective improvement plan in coordination with the Production Team

Trained/supported operators in operating the InfinityQS as well as engineers in navigating the SPC software

Drafted and submitted all reports to management to provide a clear picture of the overall yield and fallout

Employed the Infinity QS software to consistently monitor the production data

Assisted in the development of work instructions for the SPC process

ACHIEVEMENTS:

Recognized the possible failure and weak spot of the production process by reviewing the production SPC data

Reduced waste and improved yield by successfully restoring/developing a SPC system for each product—achieving a significant reduction on scrap rate

Failure Analysis Manager KAIFA MAGNETICS 1997 – 2012

Directed all facets of the laboratory operations including monitoring the performance of 40 staff—carrying out failure analysis process management, and failure analysis. Oversaw the yield at certain inspection points as well as setting the low yield alarm level by designing and implementing a monitoring system for production line. Addressed uncommon situations as well as possible failures or risks by implementing specific analysis/methods within the department. Worked closely with the quality assurance department, analyzing fall out from the production line and assessing all non-conformance issue within the company.

Supervised multiple departments in developing prototype and sample during company startup phase

Developed effective work instructions and procedures while maintaining the laboratory’s technology

Created a response team in order to properly handle and manage yield fluctuation issues

Ensured significant process improvement by providing strategic suggestions and insights

Accountable to answer to customer complaints and failures at customers site

ACHIEVEMENTS:

Spearheaded the establishment of the failure analysis laboratory from the ground up in a span of five years

Executed successful failure analysis, which changed the process flow and maintained production goals

Provided significant contributions in accomplishing 100-thousand parts daily with $2.00 selling price

Delivered the failure report and process change report to customers that met their requirements

Achieved 98% on the yield as well as optimizing process through systematic failure analysis

Evaluated/streamlined the engineering process through design of experiment

Boosted profits by correctly determining the root cause of identified defects
