Honda of Canada Mfg.

May 2026–now

Mechatronics Engineer, Engine Plant (PEY co-op)

  • Dual appointment to the Die Casting Mass Production and New Model (Hybrid Engine) teams for Civic and CR-V engines.
  • Delivered 20 production-line improvements to die casting machines and robots, including 12 Mitsubishi PLC ladder logic and HMI upgrades and 8 custom mechanical parts designed in CATIA V5 and made in-house.
  • Eliminated $180K a year in downtime by leading the move from paper-tag engine block traceability to automated barcode scanning, with custom fixtures and upgraded PLC logic that flags defective bins before final inspection.
  • Saved $2.5K a year across 2 sand mold machines, and removed a severe sand inhalation hazard, by programming a PLC pre-die-change routine that drains the sand reservoir into 8 extra parts and cycle-stops the robot.
