Project Design Engineer

• Mar 2013 - Aug 2014

Designed turbine air inlet systems utilizing PTC Creo, based on internal and external customer requirements. Collaborated with customers, material planners and buyers via bills of material maintained in PTC Windchill. Conducted root cause analysis; wrote enterprise change requests and worked with subject matter experts to implement corrective and preventative measures. • Designed first article solutions for several projects, including the first coke oven gas turbine. • Successfully… Show more Designed turbine air inlet systems utilizing PTC Creo, based on internal and external customer requirements. Collaborated with customers, material planners and buyers via bills of material maintained in PTC Windchill. Conducted root cause analysis; wrote enterprise change requests and worked with subject matter experts to implement corrective and preventative measures. • Designed first article solutions for several projects, including the first coke oven gas turbine. • Successfully piloted two 6 Sigma projects as a Green Belt and decreased total cycle time for the retesting of manufacturing discrepancies by an average of 30%. • Provided solutions within hours or days in order to support field service and commissioning requests. • Gained proficiency in identifying and meeting global certification needs. Specified and designed assemblies for use NEC, ATEX, CENELEC, and IECEX hazardous and non-hazardous environments. • Collaborated in a multidisciplinary group to maintain large assemblies and ensure proper dimensioning and interface with other team members' assemblies. • Created custom parts, both re-usable pseudo-standard assemblies and detail level designs. Worked with analysis and certifications groups to ensure compliance with both performance and certification requirements.

Manufacturing Engineer

• Jun 2011 - Mar 2013

Collaborated with customers, material planners and buyers via bills of material maintained in PTC Windchill. Conducted root cause analysis; wrote enterprise change requests and worked with subject matter experts to implement preventative measures. • Released over 100 sets of prints to the production floor per year. • Immediately supported Six… Show more Designed electrical component layouts for controls systems in Bentley MicroStation V8i integrated Hydromechanical & Electrical design software. Collaborated with customers, material planners and buyers via bills of material maintained in PTC Windchill. Conducted root cause analysis; wrote enterprise change requests and worked with subject matter experts to implement preventative measures. • Released over 100 sets of prints to the production floor per year. • Immediately supported Six Sigma initiatives and obtained Six Sigma Green belt within first year at Solar Turbines. • Created process and value stream maps to document current structure and handoffs within the sales order engineering organization. Maps used to restructure the department into value streams. • Provided solutions within hours or days in order to support field service and commissioning requests. • Bridged the gap between Control Systems Production and Control Systems Standards. Facilitated meetings between groups to solve standard owned design issues and improve production floor and sales order engineering throughput.

Mechanical Engineering Intern

• Nov 2009 - Jun 2011

Supported design engineers in daily sensor calibration tasks. Designed solutions to support company objectives that would have otherwise not been realized. • Devised and implemented a sensor system which captured and recorded rotational field data at 100x higher resolution than the existing system. Led process from initial concept to prototyping and through integration. Controlled sensor by writing LabView VI and integrated VI into existing rig LabView VI. • Modeled parts and drafted… Show more Supported design engineers in daily sensor calibration tasks.
