• Functioned as a focal for the Navigation and Sensor Enterprise: generating and driving cost takeout projects aligned with business strategic priorities via innovative design improvements.
• Coordinated projects operating across multiple company sites and on many different product lines. Projects included NPD, optimization, and cost reduction.
• Generated costed schedules using MS Project, developed and maintained risk registries, and drove projects from inception, through qualification, and production implementation.
• Managed 17 projects at once (minimum of 10 projects) with a return on investment ranging from 2:1 to 10:1. On track for a $6M savings goal for 2020.

• Managed Value Engineering projects generating savings from material cost takeout approaches.
• Project product lines included navigation and space sensors and inertial units at multiple company sites. Worked with national and international suppliers.
• Developed cross functional project teams, generated qualification SOW, schedule, and man load while reporting status and savings to stakeholders and upper management.
• Generated program savings from product yield improvement – 2017 $2.3 M, 2018 $700k, and in 2019 $730k.
• Functioned as a technical resource for engineering development of sensor physics and manufacturing processes.

• Designed and analyzed proximity sensors as well as silicon and sapphire pressure sensors for aerospace.
• Generated designs and analyzed new proximity sensors configurations for various customers.
• Optimized designs and provided production support for existing proximity sensors for commercial and military aircraft.
• Program tools included ANSYS, MSC Patran, and Autodesk Inventor.

Brought onboard to conduct FEA on single-axis and biaxial MEMs mirror devices. This included structural & dynamic simulations, statistical performance based on the simulations using DOEs, and correlation with empirical data. Additionally, responsible for the packaging design of the initial prototypes.

• Project Engineer designing low cost quartz and MEMs accelerometers from concept through production transition.
• Reduced the cost of a high-volume accelerometer product by standardization and elimination of components, simplifying manufacturing methods, and redesigning the sensor for optimal performance. This accelerometer became.
• Provided precision navigation sensor designs for drilling orientation modules operating under high temperature and high shock environments.
• Led the design and packaging of critical sensing elements for an extreme precision accelerometer demonstrating performance improvement of 10X.
• Designed and analyzed quartz flexure accelerometers and thermal switch devices for high-g and high temperature applications.
• Performed finite element analysis, demonstrated understanding of sensor physics, data acquisition methods, and the use of six sigma tools - thought map, DOE, FMEA.
