• Attained High Voltage (HV) and Extreme High Voltage (EHV) bid projects for Xcel and Talquin utility customers.
• Booked orders for winning bids on behalf of Xcel and Talquin utility customers.

Manufacturing Engineering 01/2012 to 06/2012 (6 months)

• Evaluated existing manufacturing processes and implement improvements.
• Completed documentation for any engineering instruction and manufacturing procedures.
• Recommended new methods that will improve the manufacturing efficiency.
• Assisted in the design and fabrication of new manufacturing equipment.
• Supervised 21 IBEW Union employees in Final Transformer Assembly.

Supervisory 01/2012 to 06/2012 (6 months)

• Recorded attendance of 22 shop employees.
• Assigned tasks for transformer final assembly for 22 hourly employees in plant.
• Recorded training time of shop employees.

Utilized the decision matrix and plan task calendar to meet project deadlines. Thus completing deadline tasks by 10-15% by understanding project tradeoffs.

Designed solution of artificial neural network (ANN) solution for a state of charge (SOCI) indicator for the Li/CFx battery that utilized C-programming language for onboard 64-pin Texas Instruments MSP-430 microcontroller.

Created a Mathematical model of Li/CFx battery to render voltage, current, capacity and state of charge SOC data that helped train the ANN-based solution.

Implemented mathematical model was used to check accuracy of how SOCI improved from 75% errors to an improved 2.04% margin of error.

Motivated team to implement voltage and current sensors that measure the voltage and current from the Li/CFx battery at 2.6V with load and 3.3V open circuit voltage (OCV).

Delivered the final product by sending to printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer thus deriving the SOCI prototype.
