Supervisor: Marco Tekelenburg
Projects:
G1 Second Stage Regulator Production Yield Improvement (In collaboration with Grant Myers)
 Organized/conducted multiple large-scale designs of experiments to diagnose product performance issues
 Carried out Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility testing to validate measurement systems
 Used statistical analysis software like Minitab to identify problematic trends on the Murrysville assembly line
 Achieved production yield increase of ten percent, and 150,000 dollars of additional product shipped per day
NIOSH/NFPA Breathing Test Bench Product Design
 Test bench is used to ensure second stage regulator conforms to NIOSH/NFPA Breathing Test Standards
 Collaborated with engineers and technicians to obtain user needs and develop product requirements
 Used 3D solids modeling software like Solidworks and ProEngineer to design a prototype and final design
 Ordered necessary materials from appropriate vendors and assembled the test bench
 Validated performance of the bench by conducting Gage R&R testing and collecting feedback from users
 Design was successful and well-liked, and has since been replicated three times
Responsibilities:
 Development and execution of test plans for product verification/validation
 Successful collaboration with engineering teams working on new product design and development projects
 Design of test fixtures for use in product verification testing
 Preparation of documentation and technical reports for a wide range of testing results
 Experience working in an industry that is heavily regulated by product safety standards such as NIOSH and NFPA
