Key Accomplishments:• Generated new business opportunities by utilizing advanced machinery control and monitoring solutions to drive net growth in profits of 175% between 2018-2020.• Developed and benchmarked test systems and control techniques to accurately measure aquifer saturation within .07% deviation over a 48hr test period to aid in flood prediction/prevention and soil structural decay.• Established new production methods, continuous support techniques, and technical processes to utilize Lean/Six Sigma practices to support future business growth and agile operations. Primary Responsibilities:• Dynamically solves problems under extremely tight constraints with limited resources.• Manages general day to day operations, sales, contractual arrangements, budgeting, and personnel.• Drives planning and construction process to ensure operational success while maintaining State Rules and Regulations.• Communicates with project team and clients to ensure a smooth and coordinated completion of deliverables.• Provides insightful guidance and experience to identify and recommend a course of action.• Leads technical application and design of domestic, commercial, agricultural, and municipal developments.

Key Accomplishments:• Lead member of team tasked with implementing a new strategic vison for assembly, test, and process architecture based on 100% End of Line (EOL) inspection and testing. Increased production assembly time by 51% and reduced total PPM deviation from 38% to 0.6% over the course of 3 years.• Developed standardized and reconfigurable machining solutions to be utilized for rapid QA based production line retro-fits and future planned assembly lines. Successfully designed and implemented modular EOL test platforms and assembly equipment to alleviate a $2.6M client penalty ensuring the highest level of Quality Assurance.• Created library for designed testing and assembly equipment to be utilized in a flexible plug-and-play platform using low engineering overhead and optimal ease of implementation.• Established internal coordination, maintenance schedules, and routines between disassociated internal departments to increase efficiency. Primary Responsibilities:• Responsible for the design, project management, build, validation, and product line support of Large Engine Systems which generated $280M of revenues.• Designed high accuracy press stations, robotic glue and weld platforms, complex pick-place-sort systems and variable torque/force platforms utilizing 100% EOL inspection while meeting all Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) standards. • Implemented advanced system control units utilizing PLC, RFID, force vs displacement, sensor array, and safety rated components. Specialized in electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic control cabinet builds.• Applied GD&T ASME Y14.5 standards for design and tolerance stack up analysis.• Subject matter expert in rapid proto-type generation, 3D printing capabilities and new product testing for extreme environments ranging from -100°C to +850°C, rapid cycle endurance, and abnormal operational boundaries.

Key Accomplishments:• Solved difficult design challenges utilizing robotic applications under extreme parameter constraints.• Created new techniques and equipment for emergency retrieval of assets from heavily radiated disaster zones allowing the re-use and re-deployment of $12M equipment as an alternative to total asset loss (TAL).• Supported project teams and United States DOE in strategic documentation, planning and management of EH&S standards and practices ensuring safe conditions in high hazard areas.• Managed and coordinated international cross functional teams to achieve emergency repair success to containment shields at the Sellafield LTD Nuclear Power Generation Facility in Sellafield, United Kingdom.
