RaytheonSenior Quality Engineer I
May. 2010 - Oct. 2015Portsmouth, RICharged by leadership to implement IV&V (independent verification and validation) methodology on pilot programs at sea power (NTSP/MK48, Zumwalt, etc) to improve program execution and reduce cost to program due to requirements volatility during design phase. Estimated savings on 32M program is 600k over program life Led failure investigations on multiple marine sonar systems (Both DOD and Commercial) overseeing root cause and corrective actions. Utilized six sigma tools and methods to pin point root cause and engineering background to help propose and implement corrective actions. Received company award from leadership for work Led multiple six sigma projects to reduce engineering rework through presentations I designed to communicate lessons learned from previous contracts Served as Program Quality Engineering on multiple US Navy and commercial programs responsible for: compliance with internal policy/procedures and program quality plan/QMS, quality approval of new/ designs and changes, resolution of supplier quality challenges, MRB review and approval and ensuring robust root cause and corrective actions are implemented and verified.
RaytheonSenior Mechanical Engineer I
Feb. 2009 - Nov. 2011- Led a team of engineers to development an innovative chassis for a mobile radar communication equipment. - Utilized prior analysis and strength of materials knowledge to meet strength, pointing accuracy, weight and cost requirements for this design. - Conducted DFMA studies on this design to ensure manufacturing early in product design. - Redesigned other mechanical structures and equipment for manufacturing productivity on major government radar programs. - Served as production engineering support, troubleshooting assembly and manufacturing problems. - Successfully resolved solder yield issues when restarting legacy production lines for a major radar program. Improved yield and reduced cycle time from 15 minutes to less than 5 minutes per unit by implementing simple cost effective process changes.
