Manufacturing Engineer
ECR International 2019-2021
As the manufacturing engineer at ECR international, I helped implement new boiler products and created assembly process documentation.
​
As part of the Continuous Improvement team, I ran a project that reorganized the area where operators packed kit boxes for boilers to make it more intuitive and made diagrams to show what parts go in what box.
​
One of my most significant projects involved a complete redesign of work instructions for operator use on one of the production lines. This redesign broke operations into smaller, easier to understand steps with accompanying pictures.
I also created many assembly diagrams using Solidworks Composer.
Small Fixes that made a Difference
USB Port Cap:
An operator brushed against this USB port frequently, causing it to start to come out of the test machine. I designed and 3D printed a press-fit cap to hold the port in place so it couldn't be dislodged.
​
Control Board Jig:
When operators wired a boiler, they would need to hold the control board up with their elbow as they made connections; this was a hassle and sometimes impossible to do. I designed and printed a jig to hold up control boards while wiring.
I designed a cap in Solidworks after measuring the USB port. I 3D printed the cap and press fit it onto the USB port.
This USB port was coming off of this testing machine.
The jig fits onto a side bracket & holds the control board up to allow operators to wire the boiler.
