Building a global Quality Engineering team of ~50 Engineers and Quality Leaders with the objective of continuously improving product quality to align with our customer needs.

Led an organization of ~80 engineers responsible for all mechanical components within the onshore wind turbine products for the megawatt constrained market. Owned cradle to grave subsystem and component ownership including new production introduction designs considering design for reliability, serviceability, manufacturability, and design to cost. Supported fleet issue resolution, supplier and factory non-conformances, and new technology development.

Built a new team in Spain focused on Root Cause Analysis to solve the most customer critical issues within the European, APAC, and MENAT wind turbine installed base. Managed technical relationship with customers across these regions to enable wind farm takeover and cash collection. Led design & field retrofit of corrective action to mitigate field issue. Drove a safety-first mindset within all sections of Engineering team to improve to 100% on-time metrics.

Contemporized new product introduction process within quality management system by facilitating cross-functional and cross-regional agreements on deliverables

Led a global team in wind turbine rotor system design from concept development to turbine operation and field issue resolution. Integrated cross functions to develop a product that satisfies customer needs technically, with quality, and within schedule. Avoided full services agreement cash loss by leading a mission-based team to address the highest cost of poor-quality issue in GE Renewables. Convinced customers to implement controls mitigation on installed base, contributing to millions in… Show more Led a global team in wind turbine rotor system design from concept development to turbine operation and field issue resolution.

Provide technical leadership and drive strategy for onshore wind castings, a $180M/year commodity. Proactively mentor 6 engineers across 4 continents ensuring consistent design practices and standards.

Held responsibility for developing concepts, completing detailed designs, executing analysis and supporting qualifications of large cast structures for onshore wind turbines. Designed drive train support structure and bearing housing. Integrated two new technologies into the design enabling a design 30% larger by volume that withstands 6% higher loads, but is 10% lower in mass when compared to the baseline.

Entry level engineer responsible for designing and analyzing small fabricated structures while considering requirements fro EHS, compliance and human factors. Later designed, analyzed and qualified a large cast iron drive train support structure on schedule, with quality and within cost target. Established precedence in clean sheet casting design and analysis practices.
