Direct Reports: 10 | 4 Mechanical Engineers, 1 Software Manager, 2 Software Engineers, 2 Project Managers, 1 DesignerBudget Management: $5 MillionProvided expertise and guidance to a group of talented individuals which included defining and articulating expectations and accountability parameters, ensuring an industry-leading design program and culture, developing and executing the strategy for company operations, driving operational excellence, and ensuring technical excellence throughout the entire design portfolio. CRITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS• Brought on to salvage a multi-million client relationship after two generations of failed product. Created a low-cost, highly responsive testing program that allowed the production of hundreds of thousands of products without a single failure. The customer was so impressed with the speed and quality they doubled the contract which is now generating $4.5 million in revenue.• Rebuilt trust with the manufacturing facility in Tijuana by traveling between HQ and the facility to ask questions and observe firsthand. Established a team of department heads to assign roles and responsibilities between departments, developed an enterprise-wide process workflow, and drafted a document detailing which department was responsible for what. • Saved hundreds of thousands of dollars and months wasted by replacing the previous release-only cycle development process with a more agile and responsive way to develop products. This was accomplished by implementing a proof of concept, developing a prototype, and if it performed well, investing in improvements for production quality.• Significantly reduced turn time and improved quality metrics by implementing AMSE 14.5Y 1994 drafting standards.

Direct Reports: 7 | 7 Liaison EngineersProvided technical leadership and resource management for cross-functional engineering services. Created project plans that included schedule and budget requirements for development, design, testing, tooling, and production manufacturing. CRITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS• Saved the company more than $2.2 million by designing a digital redlining system and process that used existing company assets to modernize their engineering prototype development process. This allowed engineers to make a single global update to the print and review their changes to see if it would affect any in process, completed, or just starting production orders.• Slashed cost by more than $1 million by moving to a low-cost Medium Density Fiber (MDF) board tooling option.

Direct Reports: 6 | 6 DesignersPromoted to provide technical leadership and resource management for cross-functional engineering services. Ensured the Sales organization had adequate engineering support, ensured engineering and regulatory requirements were met, and maximized cost savings by reusing as much recurrent engineering data as possible. CRITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS• Accepted the promotion and management’s challenge of turning around the engineering department in six months or risk being fired. Increased customer satisfaction by more than 50% within the first year, reduced engineering design errors by more than 80%, and eliminated the need for all overtime by the department.

Savannah, Ga, Us

Designed original tailored aircraft interiors using CATIA, AutoCAD, and SmarTeam data management system for direction and guidance to other engineering groups, production, certification, suppliers, and external customers. CRITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS• Assigned to serve as the primary seat engineer for the Appleton facility as all of my designs were of higher quality and lower costs than those of my peers.• Overcame the challenge of recruiting talent by founding the first American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) chapter in Appleton and was awarded a $400,000 grant that allowed Gulfstream to invest in developing better local engineering talent and partnering with local schools.

Dorval, Québec, Oo

Served as the Engineering Lead and Liaison between Bombardier and Duncan Aviation. Engineered and led the design of state-of-the-art aircraft interiors for Challenger 650 program using CATIA V5 and ENOVA data management system.CRITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS• Contributed to the successful integration of Duncan Aviation into Bombardier Aerospace by serving as Team Lead and conduit of communication between the two business entities.• Saved the company hundreds of hours of wasted time during system integration by developing and documenting processes that allowed engineers to spool back up quickly upon their return.• First engineer in Bombardier’s history to have a flawless new design installed in a Challenger 650.

Lincoln, Ne, Us

Created custom aircraft interior cabinet designs, using 2D/3D Computer-Aided Design tools and/or other design methods, and provided product definition to other engineering groups, production operations, suppliers, and external customers. • Produced highly accurate models, preliminary layouts, production details, and assembly drawings for the Dassualt Falcon 7x as well as supported three other planes while consistently meeting all release deadlines.• Managed supplier development, test, and production activities and coordinated with the supplier to optimize the design and achieve program goals. • Accurately maintained Bill of Material and other records.MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS• Produced innovative, intelligent designs for on-site production in a timely manner with respect to the project schedule; while optimizing ease of manufacturing, cost, weight, and function. • Decreased Mid Run Cabinet Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) by more than 68% and Crew Rest ECOs by 50%. • Restructured Duncan’s data tree which resulted in increased efficiency through streamlining and eliminated waste through tighter inventory control.• Cut engineering time by more than 60% through optimizing existing processes reducing costs by an average of more than $600,000 per aircraft.
