Support refrigerator assembly operations by troubleshooting mechanical issues, improving tooling and fixtures, and creating or updating work instructions. Partner with manufacturing personnel to investigate assembly and equipment problems and implement practical process improvements. Drive continuous improvement activities such as 5S in the production area.

Designed and modified mechanical test stands and fixtures for component and powertrain-related testing, including hydraulic, fatigue, and durability setups. Troubleshot test stands, hydraulic systems, instrumentation, and abnormal readings, coordinating corrective adjustments before retesting. Installed sensors and acquired mechanical data via DAQ, then executed test procedures and acceptance criteria with calibration checks. Analyzed results and failure evidence to support root cause investigations and communicated findings to relevant teams.

Designed rotating equipment components and assemblies using SolidWorks and Creo, producing manufacturing-ready drawings and GD&T details. Managed revision workflows by updating BOMs and engineering drawings as designs changed. Collaborated with manufacturing and technicians to support prototype fit checks and resolve machining or assembly questions for production use.

Supported automotive component design work along with production-equipment troubleshooting. Conducted manufacturing inspections and participated in equipment maintenance and improvement activities. Helped address mechanical issues encountered during production to support operational needs.
