• Research Student

  • Aug 2021 - Nov 2021

  A UIC sanctioned research class, practical lab work conducted at HydraForce (3 Credit Hours)Performed a study of 20 different part numbers, with multiple heat treated lots of each part number.Purpose of the study: To determine a relationship between macrohardness and microhardness testing, as well as to better understand the quality of heat treated parts at HydraForce. Sectioned parts, evaluated hardness under a microscope.

• Design Engineering Intern

  • May 2021 - Aug 2021

  Worked on designing, testing, and releasing a new HydraForce valve.Communicated with the customer about specific needs, redesigned an existing product, provided documentation, extensive hydraulic testing, pilot released.Took an internal 4-week “Understanding Hydraulics” class within HydraForce, learning about their entire product lineup.Created 15+ computer simulated hydraulic valves, allowing for pressure, flow, and orifice size input parameters to be changed.

• Manufacturing Engineering Intern

  • May 2020 - Aug 2020

  Conducted a study involving thousands of piece parts, reducing PPM significantly by changing parameters of a robotic manufacturing process. Developed a time and cost reducing system (Saved $35,000 estimated). Tracked product failures at hydraulic test stands, identifying potential first pass yield projects for engineers. Identified source of contamination within part washing equipment, thereby further reducing product failures.
