• Quality Control: Monitoring high-speed machines, inspecting finished parts using tools like micrometers, and reporting defects.
• Maintenance and Troubleshooting: Performing basic preventative upkeep and quickly fixing minor mechanical issues to reduce downtime.
• Safety Compliance: Following strict protocols, wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), and keeping the workspace clean.
• Machine Setup: Calibrate, clean, and adjust equipment settings (like speed or temperature) before starting a production.
• Material Handling: Feed raw materials or load stock into semi-automated and automated machines to prevent work stoppages.
• Quality Control: Inspect finished parts using precision measuring tools to spot flaws, track defect rates, and ensure products meet spacific requirements.
• Safety Compliance: Follow strict workplace safety protocols and wear personal protective

Receiver at CJ Distribution (2022-08 – 2023-05)

• Unload shipments: Take packages and goods off delivery trucks using hand trucks or equipment.

QC Uncoiler at Technical Systems (2023-06 – 2026-03)

• Machine Setup & Operation: Load and secure raw master coils onto the uncoiler mandrel using automated gantry systems, overhead cranes, or chain hoists.
• Expand the spindle mechanism to properly lock the coil's inner diameter (ID) into place before line initialization.
• Synchronize loop control systems and sensors (e.g., laser tracking) to match the feed rate with downstream equipment like straighteners or feeder lines.
• Quality Control & Inspection: Perform visual audits on the outer layers and incoming edges of the strip to catch material scratches, crooked seams, rust, or pre-existing defects.
• Measure physical characteristics using precision tools—including calipers, micrometers, and thickness gauges—to verify that the coil meets job ticket specs.
• Enforce non-conformance protocols by rejecting and tagging coils that deviate from approved tolerances, preventing bad raw materials from hitting the press.
• Maintenance & Continuous Monitoring: Track real-time tracking data and adjust line speeds or tensioners to avoid material tearing, slack buckling, or line jams.
• Conduct preventative maintenance, which includes lubricating components, verifying oil cylinders, and cleaning the uncoiler.
• Log inspection results and record overall scrap quantities, raw weight data, and material grades for quality history.
• Checking the Almen Intensity of the shot peen machine using Almen strips.
