Work Experience
Post-Graduate Internship at Raytheon Co. Tewksbury, MA Summer 2004
- Strategic analysis and simulation software development: maintenance and enhancements.
- Development mostly in C++ and Matlab.
Post-Graduate Internship at Raytheon Co. Tewksbury, MA Summer 2004
- Created a document structure to be used in TeamCenter, a new Documentation Database Manager.
- Migrated all documents and files for three groups within the DD(X) project from WindChill to TeamCenter.
- Trained all groups affected by migration in the use of TeamCenter and their respective document and file
structure within TeamCenter.
- Developed a quick reference guide to a software platform used for system-wide real-time simulation of new
destroyer class naval ship.
- Configured the software platform mentioned above for use by the Systems Integration and Testing group.
- Completed the TeamCenter project in two months, ahead of its 6 month implementation schedule.
Engineering Internship at Lutron Electronics, Inc. Humacao, PR from April 2003 to September 2003
- Created a reference manual and step-by-step guide to be used by SMT production line operators aiding them in
the standardization of parts information entry into SMT production line software.
- Developed software program that created a document with necessary information, to be entered at the SMT
production lines, with the parts dimensions as its only inputs. This software’s purpose was to limit the amount
of operator input into the part data file creation procedure.
- Generated cost savings by reducing the amount of operator input by more than 20%.
Tutor for Electrical Engineering Students November 2002 to February 2003
- Courses: Electronics, Circuit Analysis and Signals and Systems. Group sizes from 7 to 10 students.
Engineering Internship at Tren Urbano Project (Rapid Transit System) Guaynabo, PR Summer 2002
- Executed testing and commissioning of power substations for the rail system.
- Reviewed and revised power substation electrical design drawings.
- Prevented costly future repairs due to inadequate substation design.
