Collins Aerospace
During my time at Collins Aerospace, I had the privilege of engaging in a range of impactful projects that showcased my ingenuity and technical expertise. From developing new cost saving systems, to building macros, to running the site's quality lab for over a month, my time at Collins Aerospace was marked by transformative contributions and a dedication to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the aerospace industry.
Bushing Manufacturing
To optimize material usage during part manufacturing, I developed a cost-saving system for the C-17 program and later expanded it to the A380 program, collectively saving over $350k in stock material expenses.
Boeing Liason
One of my key roles involved acting as a liaison between Collins and Boeing, where I was responsible for meticulously sorting through and recording initial condition reports in an Excel sheet, a critical task that facilitated seamless collaboration between the two companies. To further enhance efficiency, I built a sophisticated Excel Visual Basic Application (VBA) macro, which automatically read part numbers and opened corresponding files in the sales order folder.
Quality Assurance
Additionally, I spearheaded Quality Assurance testing, meticulously evaluating chemical processes for compliance with regulatory and quality standards, encompassing adhesion, tensile, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance assessments, among others. I even took charge of running the department independently for three weeks, ensuring smooth operations and precise evaluations of test specimens.
File Management
Furthermore, I devised an innovative file management sync feature to ensure operators' access to up-to-date technical documents, utilizing Excel VBA to create a highly efficient system for storing, updating, and maintaining compliance with necessary specifications.
M&PT Split
My efforts extended to streamlining processes and fostering better collaboration between departments, exemplified through my initiative in splitting the process control and quality assurance workflow into two streams—metallurgy and chemistry.
