■ Responsible for the delivery of High Density Module power supplies from contract award, manufacturing, test and final delivery to the customer. The aggregate of the product group consisted of (15) different final assemblies and over 5,000 units to be delivered ranging from different configurations and complexities.■ Exceeded CBASS sales goals—Dec (2019), Jan & Feb (2020)—by delivering units ahead of schedule in an effort to minimize on-time-delivery risks for 3,555 units.■ Managed and resolved ALE-55 critical producibility issues by assembling a technical team and gathering stakeholders in the pursuit of implementing solutions acceptable to the customer. Proposed solution was accepted by the customer and was granted authorization to proceed with the new design changes.■ Defined priorities for competing critical-path product group testing needs with Production Test to facilitate on-time-delivery requirements established by the customer. Priorities were communicated months in advance to mitigate test capacity constraints and schedule conflicts with other product groups.■ Recruited, interviewed, trained, supervised, motivated and evaluated employee performance for current employees and prospective employees.■ Supervised and trained (4) assemblers of varying skill sets in the common goal to minimize defects, diminish scrap rates and to instill the continuous improvement mindset.

Sunnyvale, Ca

■ Performed as the Main-Turbine-Generator Assembly Manufacturing Engineer Program Lead for the U.S. Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier (CVN-80 USS Enterprise); responsible for approving engineering change notices, optimizing routings, maintaining Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM), defining tooling requirements, authoring Statement of Work projects, processing Non-Conformances and supporting the production floor Operators, Supervisors, Quality/Design/Industrial/Test Engineers and Program Manager.■ Led site-wide Foreign Object Elimination program as the Campus FOE Coordinator responsible forinitiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closing out major FOE related issues, projects, and initiatives. Responsible for changing the site culture by implementing a FOE mindset to 1,200 employees through training, audits and FOE awareness initiatives. Met regularly with Vice President to garner support and strengthen the FOE program.■ Acted as the Manufacturing Engineering Manager/POC for Assembly & Test when immediate manager is on Paid-Time-Off/vacation. Responsible for on-boarding employees, interviewing prospective employees, training, systems access, labor charge accuracy, employee engagement and mentoring.■ Successfully managed a 1,000 hour MRP Project and led 3 Engineers to the completion of optimizing Main-Turbine-Generator routings on-time and under-budget. Responsible for estimating budget, executing & leading the project, monitoring/controlling the budget and closing out the project.■ Led 3 continuous improvement projects for the nuclear-powered fast-attack SSN-774 Virginia-classsubmarine propulsion system using Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies: Laser Projection Development, Piping Optimization and Tiling Consolidation. Estimated, budgeted, scheduled, executed, problem solved, managed, delivered, and reported continuous improvement projects to level 2 & 3 managers, directors and vice president.

Palmdale, California

■ Led a team of 20 engineers and production personnel in the execution of high-profile projects relating to the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program with the responsibility of eliminating defects and implementing root cause corrective action problem solving methodologies in the manufacturing process.■ Coordinated between various departments consisting of liaison engineers, manufacturing engineers, tool engineers, Industrial Engineers, operations program managers, production personnel, and metrology technicians in the implementation of new stabilization tools relative to Lockheed Martin F-35 mating surfaces.■ Reduced a 20-hour installation process to 5 hours per aircraft by implementing improved stabilization tools on the assembly line, resulting in savings of more than 45,000 production hours over the life of the program.■ Developed gun system tooling under complex engineering requirements, resulting in the elimination of metrology-assisted operations and saving more than 15,000 total production hours.

Palmdale, California

■ Led two teams of seven manufacturing engineers in the investigation and resolution of mechanical assembly, process plan, production, and tooling issues relating to the F-35 program.■ Developed and implemented a superior fastener identification method of Inconel and titanium bolt installation operations for aircraft requiring 17,000 fasteners per ship set.■ Investigated non-conformance tags containing producibility and technician error cause codes to determine correct charging of defects, resulting in significant reduction in the number of non-conformances improperly categorized as producibility issues.■ Rewrote 7,200 System Design and Development (SDD) process plans and visual aids—in a team effort—to assist the increasing rate of production for a new F-35 Integrated Assembly Line.■ Assisted team in reaching goal of converting all process plans to 3-dimensional work instructions, resulting in program becoming a pilot program for other aircraft manufacturing projects company-wide.■ Implemented corrective actions for work orders, baseline plans, and Manufacturing Engineering Bill of Materials (MBOM) using MES and SAP, resulting in a decrease of hours required to assemble aircraft, and an increase in significant cost savings.
