Professional Experience

Sikorsky, Enflite – Georgetown, TX 2015 - 2016

Manufacturing and Sustaining Electrical Engineer (Contractor) (Aug 2015 to Feb 2016) Supported manufacturing and sustaining efforts to maximize production and improve quality of products. Products include aerospace components (pocket doors, table lifts, pedestal tables) and appliances (ovens, refrigerators and freezers).

Supported new product development and prepare for deployment Created and executed engineering change requests to improve product performance and manufacturability Ensured on-site compliance by validating and auditing new product rollouts and ensure competencies were met Developed process documentation to be used during production assemblies Build and test prototypes for development testing Developed appliance embedded firmware (C and PICBasic Pro) to improve functionality Tested and troubleshot new appliance builds Review failed components in quality control before being returned to vendor/manufacturer Sustain current products by updating procedures, drawings and implementing product improvement efforts Update drawings on AutoCAD, Solidworks and Autodesk Inventor Performed EMI testing on products to ensure aerospace qualification

Halliburton – Houston, TX 2003 - 2015

Repair & Maintenance New Product Launch Coordinator (2012 to 2015) Managed multiple downhole and surface projects. Worked in a global support group that supported 60+ repair/maintenance shops.

Led repair and maintenance projects to ensure products were ready for commercializationo Directed launch locations to setup maintainability of new toolso Coordinated the training for district technicians to learn maintenance and repair of toolso Analyzed repair and maintenance risks and issues and ensured all were properly mitigated prior to commercializing.

This information was presented to upper management.o Validated launch locations to ensure maintenance of new tools is standardized

Ensured on-site compliance by validating and auditing new product rollouts and ensure competencies were met Developed process documentation for repair and maintenance Lifecycle group:

o Defined requirements for Repair and Maintenance to commercialization readinesso Developed process maps, work methods, guidelines and forms for LifeCycle gate activities and deliverables

Supported district facilities with safety and service quality issues Participated in global facility audits Networked with Technology and Manufacturing to ensure Lifecycle deliverables are met before commercializing products

Principal Reliability Engineer (2011 to 2012) Led group effort to ensure that service downhole equipment failures were minimized to eliminate non-productive time and maintenance cost. Supported new designs to ensure previous failure modes are eliminated.

Supported condition based maintenance functional mailbox. This involved advising district Field Service Quality Coordinators, supervisors and technicians with

decisions on downhole tool replacement maintenance Assigned as focal Reliability support for Latin America to address product issues and concerns Generated Reliability Field Performance reports to capture high frequency failures to initiate investigations Created reliability block diagrams for analysis and overview to improve understanding of system Worked with team to develop Reliability group charter and framework

Manufacturing Electrical Engineer (2005 to 2011) Supported manufacturing Printed Circuit Board lab, insert lab and shop floor to ensure downhole tool production meets demand. This role required technical knowledge and effective communication skills to work with various departments in resolving issues. In addition this role involved several lean manufacturing activities (Kaizen events – cost reduction and resource efficiency)

Develop manufacturing processes for repairing downhole tools Troubleshot automated test equipment and made design changes as required Designed downhole tool equipment test system utilizing off the shelf components Designed electrical layout for Non-magnetic facility in Alvarado and Houston; tested and qualified facility throughout all

stages of construction to ensure ferrous material interference did not exceed limits Updated embedded firmware to eliminate PCB failures and undesired functionality Developed test fixture and harnesses for automated test systems Programmed Agilent 5DX automated x-ray inspection machine Reduced printed circuit board defective inventory by investigating and eliminating high failure modes and reducing scrap

cost Supported resistivity, porosity and density tools at insert and collar level to meet 100% of monthly production requirements Supported directional, telemetry, gamma and battery probes at the sonde level to meet 100% of weekly production

requirements Replaced obsolete test equipment for tools to ensure 0 days of uninterrupted down time Improved gamma and density detector yields 40% by eliminating process issues Addressed density detector issue due to PMT behavioral changes that improved yield by 80% Resolved shop programming and testing issues at remote location, this eliminated $50K/month cost in return shipping cost Participated in the following Kaizen events to improve lean processes:

o Improved printed circuit board testing (30%) by removing waste in workflowo Improved printed circuit board rework process (50%) by properly diagnosing defectso Optimized Negative Pulser repair process (25%) by aligning work area to optimize user interaction

Interviewed candidates for electrical engineer positions to ensure qualified engineers come on board

Associate Manufacturing Electrical Engineer (2004 to 2005)

Troubleshot automated test system issues (hardware and software) Design updates to test system PCBs (analog and digital) Coordinated with Technology to implement new testing; purchased and setup hardware to validate test systems Trained technicians on running and evaluating printed circuit board testing Updated test limits and procedures on a quarterly basis to address component biasing Interviewed candidates for intern positions Researched obsolete electrical components; assist with validating replacement components Active in improving work safety by submitting safety observations

Sustaining Engineering - Intern (2003 to 2004)

Designed and tested printed circuit (analog and digital) board hardware and software for qualifying downhole tools (automated test systems)

Developed software for characterizing and matching operational amplifiers for resistivity downhole tool Wrote theory of operations for printed circuit board testing modules (40+) to be used by lab technicians for

troubleshooting/repairing printed circuit boards
