Work History
Manufacturing Engineering Intern
2 Months- Sourced and fabricated a complete library of test mate receptacles and electrical test fixtures across every shell size, insert arrangement, and polarization defined under MIL-STD-1560, cross-referencing company BOMs and internal document control systems to build a master sourcing matrix for 70 configurations.
- Generated .dxf profiles and operated laser cutting and automated potting equipment to support in-house fabrication of production components.
- Designed and built a modular continuity test box integrating PCBs, cable assemblies, and a custom-modeled baseplate within a sheet metal enclosure, engineering a potting-free press-fit wiring architecture that enabled full removal and replacement of individual components.
