Metallurgy and failure analysis in support of new product development and existing customer field vehicles.• Performed root cause failure analysis (RCA) on metallic and non – metallic components used in diesel engines and commercial vehicles. Provided materials solutions & analysis for services, sourcing, quality manufacturing, and engineering. • Ensured material property conformance for new and existing products and suppliers. Evaluated conformance to proprietary and industrial materials specifications including ASTM, DIN, and ISO.• Communicated findings of analysis to executive stakeholders, driving corrective action. Customized analysis and reports to stakeholder needs while retaining integrity and transparency of analysis. Completed over 200 formalized reports in four years.• Developed static & dynamic material property databases for alloys, polymers, and composites used in computer aided engineering and life – cycle analysis per ASTM standards.• Created and programmed tools for more efficient data acquisition and analysis. • Actively mentored, managed and trained technicians and entry level engineers with an emphasis on developing self–sufficiency. • Proactively looked for opportunities for professional growth including, but not limited to building competencies with polymers and composites.

Taught junior level introductory materials lab and senior level metals labs. These courses helped undergraduates gain hands-on experience processing and analyzing materials as well as creating written and oral presentations of their findings. My responsibilities included instructing students on material property theory, analysis of data, and the safe use of equipment.
