I lead a team of controls engineers. My job is to define and improve our processes to complete projects on a timely and cost effective manner. Using Object Orientated Programming (OOP) to create reusable code to reduce our time to market (TTM) and create blocks for autoCad that ensure no UL508a violations. I ensure all projects are completed on time and adjust resources as need when issues arise. Hire new employees, conduct interviews, complete team member reviews, schedule team member trainings, and development documentation for onboarding, skill level evaluation and career paths.
