Mechanical Engineer with expertise in Product Design and Development, Departmental and Senior Level Management. Responsibilities in both high volume and custom one-off environments. Effective independently, in a team structure and in leadership roles. Proven ability for multi-tasking and excelling in ambiguous and difficult situations with tight timetables. Highly motivated, hands on, and results driven. My career has been in the automotive (Tier1, and 2, service and AM), power, and valving industries heavily in product/process design and development of functional, decorative and structural products from simple components to complex assemblies. I have had concurrent responsibility for engineering teams at multiple facilities in the US and at times dotted lines to teams in Australia and China responsible for various functions, products and multiple customers. Products have included mechanical cable assemblies, vehicle interior class A components, lumbar systems (mechanical and electro-mechanical), valves (flow control, severe service, check), flow block manifolds, shock absorbers, strut assemblies, gas lifts, and water pumps (mechanical and electric).
