Employment
2016-2017: Altec Industries Inc. Product Development Co-op
Typical Duties: Worked with the Product Engineering Group developing and testing prototype features
and new products for the industry of truck mounted aerial lifts. Contributed to rapid continuous
improvement (Kaizen) events to improve work standards and processes quickly and efficiently. During my
second semester with Altec, I plan on working with the Manufacturing Group and hope to learn how the
plant produces the lifts at such a large volume while still retaining the quality that Altec is known for.
Projects: Worked on a cross-plant team developing a load sensing system for aerial lifts using strain gages.
Created testing systems necessary to give engineers data to improve the design over the course of each
test with the use of Labview. Worked on the project from start to finish observing the full design process
along with helping present the product to the first large customer. Personally developed a universal
testing system through the use of Labview, NI modular hardware, and CAN modules capable of taking in
40 strain gages at a rate of 3000 samples per second. The system could also take in a combination of
other sensors such as thermocouples, accelerometers, pressure sensors, and current sensors that added
up to 100+ sensors and made the data easy to understand on customizable graphs.
Skills
Computer proficiency in Matlab, Labview, BPCS and Teamcenter product data management, SolidEdge,
SolidWorks, STAR-CCM+ , INSIGHT 3D printing software, Microsoft Office, NI modular hardware, and
familiar with other FEA software such as ANSYS Fluent.
