  Manufacturing Engineer Intern

  As an intern I was tasked with learning the basically roles and responsibilities of a Boeing Manufacturing Engineer. I was given the opportunity to work a project on a F-22 component that had a history of being troublesome. At the end of my 3 month internship, I presented to Program Leadership the history of the component and potential improvements that had been identified through a DOE that I was able to complete.
