Work Experience:
Teledyne Energy Systems Sparks, MD March Sept. 2016
Project Engineering Co-op
- Designed, built, and tested custom lithium ion batteries
- Operated the facilities 3D printer in order to manufacture fixtures and inspection jigs
- Experimented with battery seal materials reduce package size and improve battery quality
- Developed and integrated a new SolidWorks based documentation system
- Granted Security Clearance
Coin Cell Development
- Designed and implemented a coin cell production line that is currently being used to produced
hundreds of batteries
- Established schedules for electrode to case spot welds
o Utilized Decision-Matrixs and Pugh Concept Selection to fine tune schedule
o Perfumed pull/peel test to check weld quality
o Microscopically examined nugget size, depth, and amount of material expulsion
- Designed, manufactured, and tested figures to weld, fold, stack, and fill electrodes
- Generated production manuals for technicians, build books, and process documentation
Max Levy Autograph Philadelphia, PA Sept. 2014 March 2015
Lab Technician/Engineering Co-op
- Utilized screen printing techniques to produce 3D semi-conductors
- Created optical calibration targets, microneedles, and photolith masters using photolithography
and other MEMS manufacturing techniques
- Created and tested new ceramic based materials to be used during the semi-conductor
manufacturing processes
- Designed and contrasted electroplating tank
Elliptic Screen Printing Fixture
- Utilized existing screen printing hardware to print onto an elliptic parabolic (potato chip) shaped
ceramic tiles
- Develop a screen that can bend into a saddle shape
- Utilized existing photolith hardware to pattern screens, which would normally be subcontracted
- Fixture is currently being used to fulfill a half million dollar contract and can accurately print
within a 1 Mil tolerance
