Premier Principe

My skill-set and experience is broad. I am a "sword for hire" for those that need swift and sharp technical mechanical design work completed and a guru for sustaining engineering. The majority of my experience is with lithium-ion battery design engineering, launch and ramp in large-scale manufacturing however I also have experience with forensic engineering and lithium-ion cell mechanical R&D. My most notable career-highlight is creating a global sustaining-engineering model and building a team-structure to execute thereto. I've done this twice, once for DeWalt's highest-volume lithium-ion battery product (>10 production lines in 3 factories globally) and again for Tesla's Model 3/Y legacy battery production (2 Gigafactories). I developed an assortment of methods, best-practices, strategies and techniques to define and optimize post-launch product/production sustaining. Discipline specialties: - Design For Manufacturing - Product launch and sustaining - 3D/2D CAD, GD&T, PLM - Part qualification and manufacturing readiness (FAI, etc) - Fixture design and fabrication - Statistical analysis (SPC,Six-Sigma methods, etc) - RCCA, DMAIC, and failure analysis
