· Supported the development of “E-Brick” electro-ceramic refractory material, from early R&D to first manufacture.
· Built and operated high voltage experiments in one-of-a-kind high-temperature test furnace for “E-brick” performance testing including RTD and power testing. Directed cross-functional teams during thermal imaging operations, ensuring safe handling of high-pressure gases and high-power systems while capturing important imagery.
· Built and commissioned the first "E-Brick" production line: installation of electrical and pneumatic systems and assisting in all stages of commissioning: mold development, process optimization, operator training, quality control for initial 4-month production run.
· Led the rapid prototyping of custom electrode assemblies using a precious metal for the company’s first commercial demonstration system, including crimp development, fatigue testing and installation instruction.
· Scaled 3D printing operations for a production run, with inventory and cost-tracking systems.
· Administered the company wide Health & Safety Institute (HSI) safety training software, ensuring proper compliance from individuals and teams.
