Lead the entire manufacturing lifecycle of ATC spindles, utilized by CNCmachinery, I head a 4-strong team from the Purchasing, Machine Maintenance,Safety, and Employee Training departments. Overseeing the adaptation ofparts for use in robotic applications, I devised, developed, engineered, androlled out manufacturing and tooling processes for the production of newparts. Halving the time spent in production processes, I design new toolingfixtures and execute NC programs. Through the development and implementation of manufacturing and raw material acquisition strategies I created a on time delivery rate above 98%.

Spearheading Project Management through the manufacture of robotic weldingcells, I road mapped activities and optimized shop resources to realize thedeliverables of major projects to schedule, budgets, and agreedspecifications. Fostering robust relationships with clients, I augmentedcustomer satisfaction, maintained communication, accommodated productamendments, and acted with transparency and integrity at all times.Promoting operational efficiency, I optimized inventory, and ensured theconstant availability of materials and parts, by building strongpartnerships with vendors. I identified and efficiently resolved issues withthe unreliable delivery of components, by securing alternative solutions andsuppliers, led projects for Miller Welding, Toyota and Black & Decker andvisited client facilities to resolve integration concerns.

Ensuring the successful migration over to a robotic determinate assemblyprocess, I offered comprehensive technical support and provided NumericalControl programming technical support, leveraging Catia V5 and CG TechVericut to forge metallic and non-metallic materials, ply cutting, andlaser-assisted lay-up. Realizing the $50 million robotic manufacturingprocess, in collaboration with Tooling Design and Manufacturing EngineeringDesign teams, I achieved on-time delivery and zero defects by programmingthe robot and assisted machinists operating robot, across numerous projects.I was awarded Secret Clearance Level by the Department of Defense.

Leading a 15-strong multi-functional team, comprising purchasing, employeetraining, safety, and machine maintenance specialists, I oversaw all workprocesses of gasket manufacturing and designed, developed, and rolled out amanufacturing workflow for the delivery of new parts. Providing technicalassistance to customers and traveling to client sites to assist ininstallations, I worked trade shows throughout the country providingprofessional representation of company. Developing sales strategies, Irealized more market share. I managed the BOM and manufacturing workflow ofmore than 12,000 part numbers, increased operational efficiency by 20% withthe introduction of a new work process and reduced the direct labor overheadby 15% through the implementation of new machinery.
