Worked alongside TechnipFMC to design and develop close-fitting protective covers for KLV-8, KLV-14, and KLV-16 connectors—engineered to reduce the risk of thread damage caused by dirt and debris during outdoor storage and transport.

Using 3D visualization (as required) and design-for-manufacturability principles, we defined the overall form, attachment strategy, and field-use features to ensure reliable handling in shipyard-type environments. We selected breathable, quick-drying, UV-resistant materials to prevent moisture retention and incorporated high-visibility elements to enable quick yard inspections and consistent orientation during handling.

First-article units were delivered for fit verification on an actual connector or mock-up, supported by detailed build notes, quality control checkpoints, and durable labeling designed to remain legible after prolonged sun exposure.
