Senior Product Test or Process Engineer
Fort Wayne, IN Street Address PHONE NUMBER AVAILABLE
Led troubleshooting to address component-level failure by working with engineers and
operators to diagnose the root cause, and identifying internal and process
deficiencies. Adapted assembly processes to meet industry changes and address component
failures by vendors.
Utilized vast experience in processes (SMT equipment and assembly processes), and
testing, also conducted regular process walks, and implemented adjustments within the
process and test venues. Reduced process time and damage to product assembly by
designing processes and fixtures to be error-proof.
Trained and mentored engineers and hourly operators, teaching cross-functional teams
in areas of production processes, facility-wide testing, FPGAs, PMDs (program module
devices), and ICs. Streamlined the process and improved efficiencies through
documentation on programming modules and devices.
Leveraged Lean methodologies of surface mount equipment, assembly, and test processes
in addition to programming FPGAs, and PROM s programming machines while implementing
OSOPs (operational standard operating procedures) in the process and test planning to
identify how operators worked through procedures. Identified conflicts between plans
and implementation of processes.
Work Experience
Senior Manufacturing Engineer
L3Harris - Fort Wayne, IN June 2021 to April 2024
Create detailed operating procedures to construct or assemble the assembles.
Responsible for developing processes to create the electronic control system and cables
