Sarasota, FL, US

• Developed 10 automated test stands using servo heads, flowmeters, and pressure transducers to automatically test and set the cartridge valves from a manual process (human would test and set the valves) the company has.
• Increased initial throughput by 80k valves per year resulting in $1.5M in revenue gains.
• Increased First Pass Yield (FPY) on all major automated test stands by 10% reducing scrap by $300,000/year and rework savings by $68,000/year.
• Reduced labor costs, improved efficiency, and quality across the board with automated test stands.
• Implemented technologies, systems, and standards to improve cost, quality, and manufacturing processes to assure high process capability for product manufacturing.
• Effectively collaborated with operations staff, manufacturing/maintenance technicians, IT, and product engineers in a cross-functional team environment.

Bradenton, FL, US

• Worked closely with manufacturing during control panel assembly.
• Wired machinery when resources are over capacity.
• Performed all aspects of start-up and commissioning of the control system.
• Debugged completely the developed and installed software packages.

Fonda, New York, US

• Managed a 12-person team.
• Coordinated maintenance down days on equipment to perform PM's.
• Determined what/amount of work needed to take place as well as determine how much time was necessary to least impact production.
• Collaborated with Human Resources staff to recruit, interview, select, hire, and employ an appropriate number of employees.
• Coached, mentored and developed staff, including overseeing new employee onboarding and providing career development planning and opportunities.

Dearborn, Michigan, US

• Responsible for helping launch new manufacturing and assembly lines for F150 2.7L & 3.0L Ecoboost engine.
• Retooled an existing production line to manufacture a new part type.
• Oversaw all installation, upgrades, and maintenance on new and existing machinery.
• Coordinated network connection of all new machines being added to the IT DXD’s, chose ports on DXD’s to connect to, ran Ethernet cables to machines, and configured IP addresses to make machines accessible through.
• Troubleshooted PLC logic, Field I/O, Servo Drives, and Motors when automation is down. Modified logic/satisfy inputs or outputs that dropped during cycle to get machine recovered and running back in automatic.
• Troubleshooted field I/O if certain inputs/outputs are not being satisfied and find root cause (faulty proximity switches, part present switches, 40mm X 40mm switches, and bad I/O blocks)
