Experience
OpenAI
San Francisco · United States
Manufacturing Engineer
Jan 2025 - now
- Applied Lean process mapping to a manufacturing cell, separating operator motion from machine wait time; tested a revised material layout without bypassing the safety inspection points.
- Used a Six Sigma measurement study to check whether a recurring quality defect came from the process or the gauge; compared repeated readings before changing the process-control limits.
- Compared process settings with first-pass yield and defect Pareto charts, trialed the proposed adjustment on the line, and documented the approved setup for the next shift.
- Owned a pilot-build validation checklist using failure-mode reviews, resolving three assembly ambiguities before the next production trial.
- Tested corrective actions against the original quality failures and published traceable inspection records, enabling reviewers to distinguish a verified fix from a temporary containment.
Rockwell Automation
Milwaukee · United States
Manufacturing Engineer
Jan 2019 - Dec 2024
- Closed 28 overdue preventive-maintenance actions with production and maintenance teams. Held the reliability gain through the next operating review.
- Checked a revised work instruction against the drawing and test method, observed its use on the equipment, and corrected a measurement ambiguity before approving the revision.
- Compared an out-of-tolerance measurement with the instrument’s calibration status and the specified setup, repeated the test after correcting the fixture, and kept the raw readings with the engineering disposition.
Selected project
Manufacturing Engineer — independent case study
Project owner
Feb 2024 - Jun 2024
- Introduced changeover kits and a sequenced setup checklist for 6 product families
- Built a training inspection sheet from public specifications and synthetic measurement results; separated instrument variation from an out-of-tolerance condition and kept the measurement method beside each reading.
- Compared a proposed process change with the original setup, documented the drawing or instruction revision affected, and wrote an acceptance checklist that required repeatable evidence before recommending release.
- Owned the bench validation using the original failure conditions, resolved a specification mismatch and completed a traceable test record with calibrated measurement references.
