About Brady Davies

ENGINEERING LEADER: Balancing Technical Innovation with Operational PerformanceDriving new technology injection through innovative problem solving & design/manufacturing rigor.Experienced technology executive (running organizations from 30 to 400 direct reports, and 3 startups), with expertise in introducing new technology and innovation while driving cost and lead time out of development and manufacturing operations; specializing in accelerating transition from design to production. Often called on to turn around struggling organizations or introduce new technologies, while also serving as key technical resource (rising to the rank of Senior Technical Fellow at L3Harris Technologies). Specific expertise in robotics, MEMS, sensors, design, & electronic manufacturing, with a Ph.D. in robotics, combined MS/MBA, and BSME degrees. Select accomplishments include:• New Technology Injection – Introduced new flow control MEMS technology at MicroStaq, inertial sensor technology at Kistler, integrated MEMS technology with microelectronics at Sandia, network control of robots at Sandia, and radiation tolerant products (memory, power supplies, SSD’s, etc.) at Mercury. Various inventions and new processes led to 5 patents and applications. • New Design Culture – Led implementation of DFM and DTC at L3Harris and development of low-cost RF-modem products. • Yield Improvement – Drove design and process improvements at L3Harris that resulted in yields going from 60% to over 90%. Led design and process improvements at Kavlico that resulted in yield improvement from 65% to 96%. • Lead Time Reduction – Drove design and process improvement activities at L3Harris that resulted in on time delivery improving from 80% to over 98%. Reduced new product development time at Kistler from 28 months to 9 months on average. Improved OTD at Mercury by 30% while reducing overhead by over 50%.
