About Peter Lennihan

Manufacturing and process engineer for Cummings Aerospace. I am skilled in product design using SolidWorks as well as prototype development with 3D printing and CNC. My expertise extends to project management, ensuring on-time delivery of work products to customers while streamlining production processes and ensuring compliance with AS9100 regulations. I\'m also well-versed in Costpoint, managing parts, manufacturing orders, and inventory with precision and attention to detail.My passion for mechanics started in the Coast Guard where I served as a facility inspector conducting safety and security inspections and as a port State vessel examiner, ensuring compliance with environmental and international laws. I also served as a pollution responder, responsible for communicating between civilian entities and government agencies. I\'ve maintained and repaired 47\', 25\', and 17\' lifeboats and Coast Guard station buildings, ensuring efficient operation and safety. In my free time, my wife and I own and operate a luxury mobile restroom and shower trailer rental business, where I use my skills and ingenuity to keep everything running as smoothly as possible. I\'m always looking for new challenges, pushing the boundaries of what\'s possible and creating solutions to problems.
