Experience
Procurement Quality Representative
Nov 2013 — Present
Spirit Aerosystems Wichita Kansas a division of Boeing Military and Commercial development has contracted me as a (PQA) Procurement Quality Assurance Representative in the Northeastern Region based in Connecticut to continue to support the continued development of the Sikorsky Aircraft Heavy Lift CH53K for the U.S. Marine Corps. I have been a Sikorsky (CQR) final inspector on an inspection team for a Sikorsky military project. CH53 K development project between Sikorsky and Spirit Aerosystems I have been doing final inspection, reviewing and final approval of FAI’s and Delta\'s the complete package for the Sikorsky DQR’s source inspectors for final review and buy off sign off as the release authority signature on AS9102.Iwork closely with Sikorsky on these large first build assemblies. The revisions on these parts are in constant review and revisions are made on parts on a frequent basis due to this being a first make. So we were constantly making sure all new rev. requirements are being implemented on the parts and rework if necessary on mostly composite and some metal parts. Making sure we comply with all Sikorsky specs. Inspect for FOD, check for core crushing, proper trimming and drill jigs were properly placed. Review all the Cure, Autoclave, NDI/NDT, CMM, Faro Arm, and lay-up reports for the composite parts, to make sure each part falls within all print/MBD specifications of the Catia development plan. I have worked with laser projection systems to ensure placement of plies and honeycomb core.Wrote up all non-conformance reports and worked with engineering to decide whether to scrap out a part or disposition to Sikorsky for non-conformance review. If submitted to Sikorsky for non-conformance, made sure all requirements have been made and documented for conformance. Inspected and bought off every operation to all Sikorsky detail parts in production through to final inspection.
