Utilized Creo Parametric (Pro-E) CAD software to design multiple leak fixtures for the control top of the new Motorola Solutions radio under development currently in the prototyping phase of the design process. Performed negative pressure tests to analyze pass/fail leak levels of the control top prototypes based on IP standards and positive pressure tests to root-cause failed units for future adjustments. Operated a Bridgeport end mill to modify manufactured parts to specified dimensions. Evaluated life cycles of critical radio components for button push tests, angled radio drop tests, salt-fog analysis, high humidity/temperature tests, and leak tests for various radio sub-assemblies.
