Mechanical design for product development projects.Process development for product development projects.

* Worked with internal product development teams and contract design firms from concept to production to ensure new products were designed for manufacturing and assembly* Worked with suppliers of stampings, plastic components, machined components, powdered metal components, and coatings from concept development through PPAP to ensure components would meet requirements* Worked with contract manufacturers to ensure their documentation met quality system requirements* Conducted supplier and internal audits per ISO-13485 (medical devices) and FDA 21 CFR Part 820* Managed numerous multi-million dollar capital budgets for component tooling and assembly equipment for new products* Drove and implemented process controls such as training, work instructions, process studies, gauges, and custom assembly equipment with error proofing for new products through the use of PFMEAs* Completed process validation for non-verifiable and automated processes for custom assembly cells for new products* Developed line layouts in a lean manufacturing environment for new products and current product line extensions

* Worked with engineers, marketing representatives, and customers to translate voice of the customer feedback and customer preference testing results into product specifications for multiple product development projects* Worked as a team leader and team member with electrical, manufacturing, test, and quality engineers along with fabricators, assemblers, lab technicians, marketing representatives, and suppliers to develop electrical/mechanical product designs from the concept phase into production* Developed multiple creative designs that focused on cost reduction of end product* Decreased time to market by using 3D modeling, rapid prototyping methods, FEA, and math models* Drove design controls such as testing, FEA, and tolerance stacks through the development process to ensure designs met product specifications and complied with industry standards* Led completion of DFMEA documents* Designed for manufacturing and assembly of machined components, sheet metal components, weldments, die castings, plastic components, powdered metal components, and packaging components* Worked as team leader on multiple quality improvement projects to increase and ensure continued customer satisfaction for existing products* Worked directly with suppliers through PPAP to implement new designs and engineering changes* Led student design teams from Michigan State University to help feed the new product pipeline
