• Currently the responsible engineer for a variety of projects that represent 43% of our site’s revenue• Lead the introduction of six new product lines into production in under two years and currently driving at least four more to launch by the end of 2023 in the Nitinol production line• Driving continuous improvements and efficiency in the year post-launch for each product line by designing and building multiple jigs, fixtures, toolkits, with a focus on continuously improving quality and expanding revenue• Support OQ/PQ builds and other PReP items during each launch• Troubleshoot and use root cause analysis to determine source of issues after each product launch; identify and trial solutions for those issues while liaising directly with customers on all aspects of the projects• Established reject tracking sheets for each product line and implemented PowerBI to automatically track all data• Developed work instructions, and trained operators to those work instructions, also developed second-level instructions for launch to include details on the product itself and highlight lessons-learned during OQ/PQ• Led Enterprise Excellence for the site when there was a gap in coverage• Planned and assisted with multiple facility improvements; successfully submitted and approved CapEx's totaling over $800k• Frequently receive praise from customers on the quality of presentations, reports, and ability to quickly address issues• Demonstrated ability to quickly troubleshoot and root cause most issues, work independently with little oversight and work well with other groups like Lightspeed and PReP team, and serve as a source of knowledge for tooling, fixtures, and hardware issues for the site.

Own the entire manufacturing value chain for the Anvil product line• Lead the development and process of both fabricated and structural parts • Develop process flows, breaking down large, complex assemblies into a logical part flow of subassemblies and sub-processes• Created documentation required for Anvil product line, including work instructions, quality plans and inspection requirements• Build out standards and procedures to be shared across teams• Work with technicians and other engineers hands-on, building prototype hardware• Lead Design for Manufacturability reviews• Travel to suppliers to do initial sourcing work, solve ongoing production issues and implement quality procedures• Part of an interview team for new joiners • Led the bring-up of a new facility while having minimal impact on production

Part of a tiger team to provide Design for Manufacturing (DFM) feedback for MQ-25 program: o Created a detailed manufacturing and integration plan for MQ-25, including building layout, process flow and lean manufacturing o Improved dimensional accuracy in parts and assemblies by working with the design group to change the datum structure to enhance accuracy and better reflect tooling constraints o Implemented new composite drilling tools to improve accuracy, quality and reduce defects  Created and executed a detailed move plan, layout, and facility requirements to move a classified program to a new building  Created a 3D printing lab to support these efforts using eight 3D printers; led an effort to create hundreds of shop aids to support production for items/features that were not hard tooled  Responsible for managing capital AFE projects and facility layout for my group/building, including ground support equipment, facility improvements and tool installations  Designed, built, tested, and implemented a wing skin lifting device using COTS components  Managed and completed multiple continuous improvement projects, created and updated SWIs (stationized work instructions), managed the installation of numerous production tools and created floor layouts

Implementation and successful launch of equipment capacity and capability upgrades in Tesla’s paint processes in connection with the Model 3 launch, in which we needed to increase production by 5x over the span of three months  Used a data-based approach to identify and quantify paint process modifications that are necessary to reach given new production requirements  Provided technical solutions and lead engineering sub-contractors in the process design, layout, and construction of new paint and conveyancing equipment  Sought out, investigated, trialed, and evaluated new paint equipment technologies with a focus on identifying innovative, nonstandard solutions and equipment that have not been used in production environments Developed new manufacturing equipment and processes to accommodate new vehicle designs – from initial concept through prototype development, pilot builds, and into full production – for the Model S, X and 3 lines in Body Engineering  Specialized in quick-turn tooling design, fabrication, installation, and commissioning projects while keeping costs low and turnaround time short  Troubleshoot equipment issues / faults efficiently and identify permanent fixes in quick timelines with limited budget; very familiar with using production tool HMI interfaces and MES control systems to find and solve issues  Implemented and expanded concepts such as Lean Manufacturing, 5S, Kaizen and MES tracking, etc., to reduce manufacturing cost and increase process quality  Interacted with and managed outside suppliers and contractors based on project scope  Responsible for creating PFMEA’s, process control documentation, JHA’s and Machine safety specifications

Developed and improved manufacturing processes for extruded and high pressure die-cast parts  Reduced scrap rates by 30% through root-cause analysis of quality issues  Developed and implemented cost saving initiatives by using tool tracking software and machine tool feedback controls  In connection with setting up a new CNC facility in Lathrop, CA, created and executed a move plan to move more than 25 machines in less than two months without affecting the build plan  Developed facility layouts for efficiency in both Fremont and Lathrop facilities
