About Bridget McCole

I currently am working as a test engineer for aerospace products. I enjoy working in a collaborative environment with a diverse team. Design and modeling are some of my greatest strengths along with my presentation and teamwork skills. I have gained much experience at my current position leading a cross functional team and managing suppliers. In the past I’ve worked as a product development intern designing parts for construction equipment and in a manufacturing facility that followed LEAN 1.0 standards. I equally enjoy the technical planning and design work of a project as well as working hands on with the physical products.I have a Bachelor\'s of Science degree in Mechanical Engineer with a minor in Computer Science from Purdue University and a Master\'s of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan State University. I have many hours of experience working with NX, Creo, and Solidworks in a shared database like TeamCenter. I also have many hours of hands on experience from being a test conductor for different types of test events.
