Experienced Project Engineer in Semiconductor Chiller Systems | Process Improvement | Product Development I am a results-driven Project Engineer at Advanced Thermal Sciences (ATS), a Raytheon / Collins Aerospace Company, specializing in chiller systems for the semiconductor industry. With over 15 years of experience in mechanical design, manufacturing operations, and product development, I have successfully led facility build-outs, new product rollouts, and process improvements that drive efficiency and innovation. I excel at cross-functional collaboration, working closely with refrigeration engineers, quality teams, manufacturing engineers, production teams, and clients to ensure project success. My expertise in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Visio, and Smart Sheets supports my ability to streamline processes and improve manufacturability. I am passionate about mentoring new designers, helping them refine their approach to manufacturability and production collaboration. Currently, I am furthering my expertise by pursuing an MBA in Project Management at Grand Canyon University (GCU).
