• Led cost optimization for two new product introductions (NPI), costing and analyzing Bills of Materials (BOMs) throughout various development stages. Negotiated with contract manufacturers (CMs) to drive competitive pricing, resulting in over $1 million in first-year production cost savings. • Spearheaded a production line transfer to mitigate tariff increases. Conducted comprehensive risk and cost analyses for moving manufacturing from China to Thailand and Vietnam. Negotiated with CMs to optimize unit pricing and maintain stringent Color, Material, and Finish (CMF) requirements, successfully balancing cost-efficiency with product quality.• Managed costs and suppliers across the product lifecycle: Prototyping, Engineering Validation Testing (EVT), Design Validation Testing (DVT), Production Validation Testing (PVT), and Mass Production (MP). • Increased operational efficiency and customer satisfaction by leading the development of a service parts inventory system. Partnered with customer service to identify needs. Worked closely with CMs to create BOMs, established standardized packaging guidelines, and integrated new SKUs into internal systems.

• Lead a team of 20 students to identify, cultivate, and secure 25 sponsorships worth $200k, covering 70% of costs.• Collaborate with the electrical, mechanical, and software teams to develop a detailed BOM and list of potential sponsors.• Present detailed financials to competition judges to secure maximum points for cost-effective engineering excellence.

Resulted in senior management focus on receive failures and multiple departments’ ability to accurately analyze damage causes real-time.• Built an order tool enabling engineering to efficiently procure and track items from in-house manufacturing– reducing by ~95% the daily time spent by engineering, manufacturing and supply chain on in-house orders.• Led weekly PO reconciliation meeting with key international supplier. Swiftly and successfully resolved any discrepanices.• Trained full-time employees in new inbound receiving system, procurement tool, and failure/damage database.• Collaborated with colleagues across finance, engineering, manufacturing, and logistics to extract value and fix problems.
