Acted as the system champion and architect for PageWide Array printing technology, working to effectively integrate the inkjet core into the overall system and product. I served as a primary technical and organizational collaborator and liaison to the diverse organizations involved in this effort. I also acted as a technology development leader, looking far afield to identify opportunities for the technology and channel them into useful innovation, thereby advancing the relevance of printing to customers.● Linked new product development requirements and testing firmly to actual customer values by employing data science methods to ascertain true use behaviors and devising a new actionable taxonomy to effectively represent them.● Rationalized the system requirements process to form better linkage between customer-facing product attributes and component-level technical specifications.● Initiated, developed and conducted 200 engineer pan-HP systems engineering conference, centered around new applications of thermal inkjet technology and 3D printing.● Devised, initiated and managed development of a new system testbed for new PageWide Array technology enabling representative testing much earlier in the product development cycle. This allowed a full design-build-test iteration to be removed.

I was team engineering lead responsible for the system specification, development, optimization and qualification of cutting-edge color office printers. I managed development efforts in conjunction with an international web of partner, supplier and customer organizations. Organizational• Key member of team responsible for relocation of 1000+ engineering division to new location within six months• Adapted Agile and Lean development principles to improve team effectiveness. Organized and conducted comprehensive technical retrospectives to focus product development iterations and improve internal processes.Officejet Pro X Series• Developed and implemented product performance measurement and qualification protocol for device that effectively guided its development. Translated and adapted this protocol into an off-shore contract manufacturing QC/QA process. Effort resulted in all key requirements being robustly met at the product ship date.Officejet Pro 8600• Developed dynamic media positioning control system to solve no-ship product performance issue. Patent application filed. • Increased product duplex printing speed 50% over preceeding device using advanced real-time feature recognition algorithms. Effort recognized at 2010 HP corporate technical conference.• Developed accurate autonomous calibration algorithm for setting operational voltages in product to optimize performance and life.• Implemented effective technical documentation protocol for project

I was responsible for delivering overall product performance on a five year, $500M new technology platform initiative (Edgeline), shipping two products (HP CM8050 and CM8060) and developing the second generation extensions.• Created new role within division. Assessed, influenced, and coordinated the activities of the mechanical hardware, analog and digital electronics, embedded firmware, and system software groups. • Delivered full targeted performance at initial product introduction - the fastest cut-sheet printer in HP history. Product won the 2008 Buyers Lab Outstanding Achievement Award for technical innovation.• Conceived and developed two key enabling technologies for product performance. Efforts recognized at 2004 and 2005 HP corporate technical conferences• • Product performance simulator for optimizing system function and sub-system tradeoffs, guiding development activities,debugging and qualifying the finished design• • Intelligent embedded system for real-time optimized control of print behavior with changing page content, power quality, and environmental conditions.• Increased print speed 33% in 2nd generation product while simultaneously reducing product cost 40% and improving print quality.• Initiated and managed Wikipedia-style technical documentation site to capture product design information from engineers and disseminate to downstream sales, service, and customer support partners. Site grew to 15,000 pages over two years of operation.

• Won competitive award of company sponsored year of full-time study leading to MS in computer science, with concentration in system simulation• Lead system engineer on a three year, $100M desktop color office printer program (HP 3000). Developed printer operational modes for office color printer, balancing the conflicting requirements of speed, print quality, and reliability. Achieved performance parity with competing laser devices - a key product success deliverable.• Primary system expert for manufacture of a new color printer (HP 2000C). Devised product performance QA/QC strategy at three worldwide sites and coordinated production support activities for 100K unit/month product ramp. Provided rapid engineering field support and continued product engineering; finding, diagnosing, and fixing over five critical problems with first year of product rollout.

I managed a 24 person department responsible for product development, production support, and customer application engineering of automotive airbag systems• Launched 18 distinct airbag inflator products for all major American, European, and Asian car manufacturers. Ensured design stability during production ramp to 1M units/yr in first six months, and 5M units/yr within 18 months.• Reduced product material cost 25%, while simultaneously improving line capacity and halving scrap rate. $70M savings over two years. Effort won the TRW Chairman's Award for 1994.

Engineering development of spacecraft propulsion, advanced weapon, and automotive airbag systems• 1989 Key Scientist/Engineer Award for airbag development work
