Experience
April 2025 - August 2025
APQP Co-op
Multimatic
- • Developed a custom APQP inventory management application to track over 100 prototype parts across all programs, enabling real-time inventory updates, automatic label generation, and scrap reporting — significantly improving traceability, reducing manual errors, and enhancing decision-making for program managers.
- • Collaborated with process engineers to design a standalone greasing station for low-volume control arms using SolidWorks, automating a previous manual process by integrating pneumatic actuation to ensure consistent grease application across parts — improving repeatability, reducing operator error, and increasing build efficiency for non-automated production lines.
- • Engineered an efficient packaging solution for GM’s C1XX control arm program using SolidWorks, optimizing part orientation and carton layout to maximize space utilization, protect part, and streamline logistics for production shipments.
- • Coordinated between program managers, process engineering, and production staff to align design revisions, build schedules, and shipment timelines, helping to successfully launch multiple Ford and GM suspension programs.
- • Assembled and validated prototype suspension components by conducting detailed part inspections to ensure dimensional accuracy and fit for testing.
- • Led the planning and execution of non-production builds and shipments under strict deadlines, maintaining 100% on-time delivery while ensuring customer-specific packaging and documentation standards were met.
- • Performed competitor benchmarking by disassembling and analyzing control arms from leading OEMs, documenting key design features and tolerances that informed the development of higher-performing in-house components.
June 2024 - August 2024
Engineering Intern
F AND B SOLUTIONS LIMITED
- • Optimized inventory management by designing a detailed Excel tracking system and standardizing labeling protocols for 100+ spare parts, reducing misplacement incidents and accelerating repair times.
- • Collaborated with technicians to systematically diagnose and resolve mechanical malfunctions, significantly reducing repair time and maintaining a 95% adherence to repair schedules.
April 2024 - June 2024
Research Assistant Intern
Ontario Tech University
- • Partnered with 3 graduate students to develop over 50 technical diagrams and author content for a textbook on Battery Management Systems, contributing to academic resources for students.
