      - Implemented a test methodology and built a test fixture to characterize 50+ check valves considering edge cases to determine failure conditions. Conducted data analyses to make a performance matrix of 5 evaluation criteria and selected a check valve with a 95% success rate in preventing backflow and having a low cracking pressure. - Designed and built a custom test fixture using pneumatics and 8020 extrusions to evaluate the snap durability and longevity of 10 passive holder design iterations for material handling within the manufacturing system. Electrically wired the system and coded an Arduino PLC to autonomously run lifetime tests of 10,000 cycles. - Documented findings in a formal design binder and presented compiled results to Sr. Design Engineers and provided data-centric design recommendations for the final product to integrate with the system.
