// Summary

Manufacturing & Process Engineer with 4+ years in PCB assembly and electronics — SMT programming, flying-probe & in-circuit test, AOI, and IPC-A-610 Class-2 assembly. Comfortable from schematic to production floor, with hands-on electrical troubleshooting and root-cause analysis. Work at the line has scaled throughput 20%, cut rework 10%, and removed traceability errors across 20,500+ parts. Builds AI-assisted tools by directing coding agents and owning the workflow, rules, and process logic — including a Python + SQL app used daily on the floor.

// Experience

Manufacturing Engineer — Lead Developer, SMT Automation

Apr 2023 – Present

Integrated Test Corporation · Dallas, TX

  • Set up and ran Seica Flying Probe ATE programs, pairing circuit-level troubleshooting with automated test logic to cut production delays across complex PCB assemblies.
  • Maintained 100% IPC-A-610 Class-2 compliance across all assembly activity; authored ECOs, work instructions, and process-update documentation.
  • Led a company-wide Lean audit that removed three production redundancies and improved throughput by 20%.
  • Built the SMT Hub dashboard in Python + SQL to streamline MyData SMT workflows — 10% less rework, 5% lower labor cost.
  • Directed AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Google Antigravity) to build and deploy Assembly Hub — a Python + SQL production tool used daily by four operator roles; live 3+ months, 120+ PCB jobs (10–12/week).
  • Removed 100% of component-traceability errors across 20,500+ parts by integrating the Mouser REST API with rate limiting, retry logic, and configurable skip-rule gating across the full BOM pipeline.
  • Tuned the Seica Flying Probe test process to catch and resolve PCB leakage issues before they reached downstream assembly.

Electrical Systems Engineer — Contract

Nov 2022 – Mar 2023

BSU Incorporated · Austin, TX

  • Ran hardware validation and system integration for high-performance test environments, turning research requirements into workable circuit-design solutions.
  • Cleared component-integration bottlenecks that were limiting test-system reliability, refining troubleshooting protocols for accurate high-speed circuit testing.
