Reliability Engineering Co-op
As a Reliability Engineering Co-op, I spent my time familiarizing myself with Collins practices while working on various projects. My work included the following:
-
Reliability Enhancement Testing (RET),
-
Data analysis for product screening effectiveness,
-
High Intensity Radiation Field (HIRF) and lightning component protection summary,
-
Failure rate predictions and component classification.
One of the accomplishments that I am most proud of from my experience at Collins was the completion of Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) Effectiveness Assessments for various products. These assessments reduced the required amount of
time for these products to complete the mandatory Collins screening procedures, saving production a considerable amount of resources. Additionally, these reports among many others, allowed me to gain experience interfacing with engineers in other departments as well as refining my technical writing and documentation skills.
