Collaborating closely with the Maintenance Department, managing the design, construction, andimplementation of in-house fabricated automated equipment.Operator dependency reduced by 95% on several production cells. Successfully deployed fullyautonomous Machine Tending robotic systems. In each case, ROI was less that a year.Increased daily production by 200% - 250%, with less labor dependency on several product lines.Accountable for the electrical design, fabrication and stat up of in-house built equipment dedicatedto executing secondary operations.Decreased Cycle Time by 25% - 50% on several production machines by engineering modificationsto existing equipment to align with evolving production demands. This included retrofitting Die Castmachines, Injection Molding machines, Trim Presses, and other relevant machinery.Developed a more efficient Maintenance Schedule as a proactive approach to managing theequipment and ensure reliability, safety, and efficiency in operations.Work with the rest of the team to define scope, cost, and schedule to meet the requirements foreach project.

Managing the RMA department for Mercury Instruments and Process Instruments.Eliminated the 3 month production Backlog at the DO production line. Used my problem solvingskills to solve assembly/test issues through investigation and research (Cause and Effect analysis,defect analysis, etc.).Achieved a 200% - 250% increase in productivity across seven production lines by implementingautomated equipment to enhance the assembly process.Reduced scraped material by 50% in both business units through the integration of automatedequipment for material handling and assembly.Skilled in developing and implementing new products and process validations leadingmultidisciplinary engineering teams from various countries.Skilled in Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Lean Manufacturing Processes, MaterialManagement, Statistical Process Control (SPC) and several manufacturing processes.

Responsible for the management of Automation Projects with a strong emphasis on continuous improvement, cost reduction and safety. Basic knowledge of Mechanical Design and hydraulic Systems. Strong knowledge of Electrical Design and Pneumatic Systems. Experience with Robotic Systems, Vision Systems, Linear actuators and several other automation tools including several kinds of sensors and transductors (pressure, temperature, distance) and the programming of PLCs and HMIs. One of my responsibilities is the correct and timely flow of information between the client and our departments. In charge of the Assembly Technicians.

In charge of the Maintenance Department. Had technicians under my supervision. Responsible for the production equipment’s performance. The company has 14 Die Casting machines and multiple machines for secondary operations such as Trim Presses, Drilling and Sanding equipment, Assembly and Test equipment. In charge of detecting and implementing improvements to existing equipment. Responsible of assuring the correct data acquisition from the Die Casting process so the Production Department can make accurate decisions and adjustments, this implies selecting, installing and maintaining different kind of transductors (pressure, temperature, distance) and the programming of PLCs and HMIs. Electrical, Pneumatic and Hydraulic troubleshooting. This company gave me the opportunity to further extend my knowledge and experience on electrical equipment and machinery.

Milwaukee, Wi, Us

- Responsible for the electronic maintenance department. During this period Iwas responsible for 8 technicians and 2 Electronic Engineers.- Transferred a total of 25 production cells from our US facility to our localfacility (Cd. Juarez).- Maintained and created PLC and CPU backups for nearly 100 processors, aswell as HD images for nearly 15 industrial computers.- Developed and implemented machine maintenance procedures for a widearrange of production cells, including machines such as Injection MoldingMachines, Custom Notching Machines, Inspection Machines, etc.- Designed and developed machine upgrades and modifications for existingequipment.- Updated and stored machine documentation.- Developed a network of local suppliers which helped us when the work loadwas too great
