Accomplishments
Improved high-volume legacy process by reducing hand-soldering time 60%, saving over 500 hours of labor per year and creating substantial profit on loss-leader product
Performed root cause analysis of RF test failures to develop a vacuum BGA underfill process, effectively eliminating 100% test failure rate/test troubleshoot time.
Reduced with 0% pass yieldline solder process time by 87% on high volume legacy product by reviewing dated work instructions and reorganizing/streamlining process flow
Performed on-site repair of mission critical environmental test chamber without removing already loaded space hardware, preventing significant schedule delays
Developed precision tooling and shop aides to improve accuracy and cycle time of space hardware, resulting in a 300% increase in daily productivity with no additional labor cost
Created and improved pasting and hand soldering process for launch appliance installation that resulted in reducing cycle time from 5 days to 3 days
Built 60+ first-run or prototype assemblies solo and as team leader to correct design and process issues, customer BOM or print issues and process flow issues
Lead prototype project focusing on efficiency and reducing estimated build time by 50%, resulting in conversion to mass production contract instead of outsourcing as planned
Streamlined parts prep and manual through-hole insertion techniques reducing build time for all through-hole assemblies reducing build time by 45% and post-wave rework time by 75%
