Work History
Electromechanical Engineering Intern
ASML
Wilton, CT
05.2026 - 08.2026
- Led the redesign of an electromechanical motor assembly for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, translating strategic project objectives and system requirements into executable design plans while balancing performance, manufacturability, integration requirements, cost, and schedule constraints.
- Created detailed 3D models, assemblies, and engineering drawings in Siemens NX, developing manufacturable designs while maintaining configuration control, documentation accuracy, and requirements traceability throughout the product lifecycle.
- Designed a Flex Printed Circuit Assembly (Flex PCA) in KiCad, defining electrical interfaces, cable routing, and packaging solutions to support reliable electromechanical integration within constrained system architectures.
- Collaborated across electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams to align priorities, resolve technical trade-offs, and ensure inclusive decision-making that incorporated diverse stakeholder perspectives.
- Conducted design trade studies, tolerance analyses, feasibility assessments, and risk evaluations to inform technical decision-making and enhance system performance and reliability..
- Supported system integration efforts by coordinating dependencies across teams, managing technical risks, and ensuring working solutions could be successfully tested and validated.
- Identified and resolved complex technical issues through structured root cause analysis and corrective actions, contributing to improved design robustness and manufacturability.
Supply Chain Engineering Intern
ASML
Wilton, CT
05.2025 - 08.2025
- Supported supply chain optimization initiatives for high-precision semiconductor manufacturing by managing critical component dependencies, reducing lead times, and improving material availability through cross-functional collaboration with engineering, R&D, sourcing, and suppliers.
- Reduced lead times for 52 critical 12NC components by coordinating technical requirements, validating supplier capabilities, and aligning specifications with manufacturing and design constraints.
- Conducted root cause investigations on supply disruptions, developed corrective action plans, and monitored effectiveness of implementation to enhance delivery performance and mitigate operational risk.
- Key Result: Reduced lead times for 52 12NC components by partnering with design and R&D teams to align specifications with supplier capabilities and streamline procurement workflows.
- Utilized ERP systems and data analytics tools (SAP, Excel, Power BI) to identify bottlenecks, track part lifecycle stages, and support decision-making for critical-path components.
- Tracked project priorities, managed dependencies, documented process improvements, and ensured stakeholder alignment on delivery objectives.
Manufacturing Engineering Intern
Legrand
West Hartford, CT
05.2024 - 09.2024
- Designed and implemented several high-impact mechanical improvements, including a precision guide rail system for repeatable measurements, motorization of a manual lift table to reduce adjustment time, and integration of a laser alignment system for accurate die positioning. These enhancements reduced die changeover time by 45%, from 17 minutes and 29 seconds to 9 minutes and 35 seconds, significantly improving equipment uptime and production efficiency.
- Led a SMED and 5S Kaizen initiative to enhance the operational efficiency of the Red Die Press, achieving a 40% productivity increase by reengineering workflow layouts, standardizing tool placement, and minimizing non-value-added motion. Implemented systematic process improvements that significantly reduced equipment downtime, improved changeover consistency, and supported sustained lean manufacturing practices.
- Defined testing and verification approaches for manufacturing process improvements, ensuring solutions meet performance, repeatability, and safety requirements before implementation.
- Collaborated with manufacturing, maintenance, quality, and operations teams to ensure design solutions met production and safety objectives.
