Introduction

As much as I would love to share what I did at Exotics Metals, I am under NDA as well as Exotic Metals participating in ITAR contracts, which most of my summer work involved. You’ll just have to trust me that it was all super awesome, I learned a ton and I did an excellent job.

What I Can Tell You

My resume sums up pretty much everything I disclose:

• Interpreted drawings for F35 engine components in order to verify tool designs met all requirements.
• Investigated numerous quality non-conformance’s and created planning to solve the issues.
• Prevented tens of thousands of dollars in prevented scrap with an inspection fixture.
• Designed a TPU hand guard that fits into complex geometry to improve worker safety.
• Created a tool to decrease the conductive cooling on a large part sensitive to warping.
• Prevented machine downtime by designing a modification to the world’s 2nd largest hydroform press.
• All designs were drafted to ASME Y14.5 GD&T and approved by the in-house tool and die shop.
