Jun 2018 - Aug 2018
During my summer as an Intern at General Atomics ASI, I worked to a set of both short term and long term goals with hands off freedom. I interacted regularly with both technicians and engineers to solve technical manufacturing problems and implement solutions on the manufacturing floor. Through my effective use of industry standard engineering programs and mechanical design and manufacturing knowledge, I completed my set of goals and paved the way for continued time and cost savings. •Optimized material geometry cut files to reduce excess waste and save money •Created stationized work instructions by monitoring and documenting entire lamination processes in order to create a standard procedure for laying up specific parts •Identified problematic manufacturing techniques and improved various composite lamination processes •Implemented new composite lamination processes and monitored impact on quality, time, and cost •Presenting new manufacturing processes to composite technicians •Hands on experience with the composite manufacturing process including material cutting, composite layup, vacuum bagging, curing, and post-processing Show less
