Mechanical Engineer specializing in complex technical problem resolution, with a diverse engineering and project management background covering multiple areas of the automotive industry and a history of building and coaching teams of highly effective problem solvers. Through structured problem solving, prioritizing, and people training, I can build a team that will: - Significantly reduce build and process variation in the manufacturing space- Identify, rank, and prioritize issues to ensure resources are being directed into what the Customer really cares about- Attack and permanently eliminate chronic, intermittent, or otherwise “unsolvable” issues- Develop strategies for root causing and accelerated testing to resolve notoriously difficult field reliability issues and failures- Drive significant cost savings through quality control, warranty cost reduction and scrap preventionOver the past 3 years, I have completed/coached over 100 problem solving projects across nearly all facets of automotive design and manufacturing and guided more than 30 engineers through a variety of problem solving certifications. Additionally, I have a diverse background in the automotive industry which includes:- Project/Program Management- Engineering/Problem Solving Coaching- Complex Technical Problem Solving- Product Launch Support- Product Planning- Quality Engineering- Manufacturing Engineering- Design Release/Product Engineering- Propulsion Systems Engineering- Vehicle Integration and Validation
