  Manufacturing Associate

  As a manufacturing associate, I worked in final assembly. Final assembly has three main processes that I was responsible for. The first is assembly. In assembly, I had to marry boards together, secure them in their housing, and then print and apply product labels. Some products that I assembled require hand-soldering. The second process is testing. I tested not only for functionality, but also for cosmetic requirements. Some modules needed to be tested for waterproofing. The third and final process is the packaging process. The packaging process functions as a second pass for cosmetic requirements, in addition to packaging the product according to specifications and including all necessary documentation and accessories. The modules are not seen until they arrive to the customer after being packaged.In addition to my main responsibilities, I also volunteered to be a 5S auditor. My audits were noteworthy, as I was very thorough in my evaluation and scoring.When we had started a new product revision, I had discovered a small manufacturing defect. Small jumpers where not being soldered onto the boards correctly. These jumpers could be tombstoned, not there at all, or an end could be soldered to one pad but not another. This has the possibility of affecting the module in the field, even though it would pass all functional tests. Show less

  Barista

  As a barista, I was primarily responsible for tending money, operating a POS system, interacting with customers, and preparing and crafting beverages. During my time there, I had developed some great customer relations; some even requested that only I made their drinks when I was on shift.
