Our team at Raytheon thrives on innovation and quality, and as a Supplier Quality Engineer, I play a crucial role in upholding these standards. My education in engineering from James Madison University has provided a solid foundation for tackling complex problems with methodical problem-solving approaches. We focus on delivering excellence and ensuring supplier processes meet our stringent requirements. My experience extends beyond technical skills, with leadership roles that honed my communication abilities. At JMU, I led a team to develop a distress signal navigation system for a NASA competition, underscoring my enthusiasm for space and engineering challenges. This blend of teamwork, diversity, and communication underscores my commitment to contributing to impactful projects in the aerospace sector.
• Developed a database for monthly metric analysis in quality control, reducing manual labor by 6-10 man hours/month. • Review, manage, and flow down quality requirements to suppliers • Review engineering drawings and documentation to determine quality requirements for parts. • Resolve supplier and buyer requests on quality requirements and approved supplier issues. • Analyze supplier defect data to identify trends and opportunities for improvement.
A competition held by NASA in order to mock various situations involving astronauts. The team selected the Surface Autonomous Vehicle for Emergency Response (SAVER). As part of the communication team, Hemant is leading a team of 4 engineering students on the communications team to develop a system capable of locating and finding an emergency beacon and navigating toward the distress signal
• Working with second-year engineering students in ENGR 212 during weekly class sessions, grading assignments, and answering any clarifying questions through office hours • Providing thorough feedback on assignments, projects, and presentations during class or office hours to promote the learning of Statics & Dynamics
• Mentored 12 first-year students in the engineering program to help guide them through the courses and understand the fundamentals of engineering • Developed leadership skills through daily exercise in workshop sessions with other peers • Learning Assistant for peers to get help in courses such as science, mathematics, and engineering in general
• Managing a budget of $1250 to develop an autonomous Planetary Image Capturing System (PICS), as the payload to capture, process, and transmit images of the environment • Utilizing Raspberry Pi to develop a system capable of receiving and decoding commands from 144–148mHz frequencies to determine the functions of PICS
Loaves and Fishes, a non-profit organization providing food for the homeless and low-income families around the community. During my time as a volunteer, I assisted the organization in managing, arranging, and providing food to the clients.
