Work History
Sustaining Design Engineer II
Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company
Chandler
01.2025 - Current
- Developed system and component requirements, perform tolerance analysis, and lead design verification planning to ensure mission reliability under extreme launch and operational environments.
- Coordinated cross-functional design integration with manufacturing, quality, and test engineering, aligning efforts to achieve cost, schedule, and technical risk objectives.
- Led cross-functional Failure Review Boards (FRBs) to investigate critical production failures, driving root cause analysis (RCCA) using the FRACAS process that resulted in process improvements which reduced recurrence and enhanced product reliability.
- Directed configuration control, interface definition documentation, and internal design reviews, facilitating comprehensive support for system-level verification and validation activities.
- Served as cognizant engineer for electro-mechanical subsystems in energetic assemblies (Safe and Arm Devices), ensuring compliance with MIL, SAE, AS9100, and DoD standards.
Manufacturing Quality Engineer II
Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company
Chandler
07.2023 - 01.2025
- Developed and implemented quality control procedures, including Statistical Process Control (SPC) methods, resulting in improved product consistency and reliability.
- Conducted root cause analysis and implemented corrective actions to address non-conformances, which reduced downtime and minimized waste.
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams to identify process improvement opportunities and drive continuous improvement initiatives through leading Kaizens following Six Sigma principles.
- Ensured compliance with regulatory requirements, including MIL, IPC, ANSI, and SAE standards and safety regulations through regular audits and process reviews.
- Provided technical support and guidance to production teams to resolve quality-related issues and optimize manufacturing processes for Safe and Arm Device assemblies.
- Provided technical input to new product development projects on manufacturability, quality requirements, and verification planning.
- Tracked costs of poor quality and revenue for manufacturing cell to support targeted problem-solving.
- Mentored, developed, and trained junior Manufacturing Quality Engineers.
- Presented scrap cost reduction efforts to Board of Directors and Senior Management, facilitating timely escalation of critical items.
