Medium Wheel Loader Electrical Integration Design Engineer Co-Op

Non-Disclosure Agreement: I will only disclose non-proprietary information regarding my work at Caterpillar. All images are public knowledge.

Projects

  1. Part Compatibility Testing
    Performed part compatibility testing to assemble new LED lamp components and transition to single horns. This effort supported a cost reduction project, achieving savings of $102 per machine.
  2. Circuit Schematic Conceptualization
    Conceptualized circuit schematics for a 14A overlay jumper using CREO to retrofit current safety functions to previous machine vintages. This project involved designing a cost-saving common harness for all platforms, improving towing mechanics and post-design drawings.
  3. Cross-Functional Collaboration
    Collaborated with various teams within Caterpillar, including structures and hydraulics, to proactively identify and integrate cost-reducing updates into newer medium wheel loader versions.
