Development, manufacturing, and servicing rheology and material testing machines for the rubber and elastomer industry.

Lead the engineering activities for brush and brushless motors, drives, sensors, and related products used in medical, pharmaceutical, factory automation, microchip manufacturing, aerospace, and other specialty sectors. Includes two design offices in Ohio and Pennsylvania, plus regular coordination with design and manufacturing locations in North America, Europe, and Asia. Developing technology and product line roadmaps, research and development, sustaining engineering.

Lead two engineering departments (Electric Machines / Ram Air Turbines), including recruiting and talent management, performance reviews, technical reviews, proposals, and strategic planning for capabilities including design processes, multi-physics simulation, and additive manufacturing. Includes multiple qualification programs, R&T (internal R&D) programs, and business development proposals. I am a Safran liaison for US university relations on R&T activities, internship programs, and recruiting. Liaison to NASA and AFRL for electrical system activity. On the Safran USA Defense working group. Led Safran activities in partnership with the Ohio State University to win a joint $4.2M SOARING 3 award from OFRN to develop and prototype a doubly-fed electric motor/generator and inverter system for large UAV and urban mobility aircraft.

Recruited new team of engineers and co-ops to develop a new product line for Safran. A ram air turbine is essentially a wind turbine deployed from an aircraft in emergency situations to provide electric and/or hydraulic power. Team establishing high-end CFD capability, rapid design space exploration and optimization tools. Managed transfer of KC-390 RAT program from France to Ohio. Standardized and elevated the effectiveness of the co-op program for RAT and Generator departments.

PLL position was established for each product line to manage the product technology roadmap, but also to establish consistency between the models developed for each program, and with supply chain / production.

Identify strategic opportunities, coordinate workload, and minimize barriers for a very experienced and talented group of mechanical engineers who develop high performance aerospace generators and power distribution systems for helicopters, business and regional jets, and a wide variety of military aircraft.

Development of generators, starters, and other highly engineered electro-mechanical units for aerospace applications. Continuous improvement activities related to engineering and testing processes. Goodrich was purchased by United Technologies in 2012, and due to anti-trust regulations, Goodrich Power Systems was in turn sold to Safran in 2013.

Startup company that develops, manufactures, sells, and distributes high-quality, innovative devices and equipment for use in the physical therapy, athletic training, medical, and fitness industries. Customers are primarily college and pro sports teams and athletes. Two patents pending.

Design, analysis, fabrication, and integration of visual systems for flight simulators. Direct customers include Advanced Simulation Displays, Christie Digital Systems, Ametek, Evans & Sutherland, and AVI/SPL. End customers included Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, SAIC, US Army, USMC, Colombian Army, Christie Digital Systems, Evans & Sutherland, Rockwell-Collins. Projects included 12-channel plasma panel display, 21-channel projector proposal, collimated HUD, HDTV WAC display.

Project management and NPD for a variety of PMDC and universal motors and blowers. Included FEA, CFD, Pro/E, SolidWorks, prototyping, testing, factory support in China and Mexico. Worked with customers and suppliers to create beneficial relationships. Was key figure in winning back lost business from two customers ($5M/yr with significant upside). Internally, worked closely with supply chain, sales, and mfg to maximize profit on new products. Identified and implemented uses for large quantities of obsolete inventory.

SBIR-funded startup that developed a brushless PM motor. I designed the cooling system and dynamometer for a 150-kW motor.

Responsible for design, analysis, testing, and project management for visual systems on flight simulators. H-60 project required large, high-fidelity, but lightweight visual system on hydraulic motion base. Worked directly with US Navy, Lockheed-Martin, NASA, Reflectone, BAE, Boeing.

Project engineering involved design of pump systems in batch and continuous flow plants. Worked at polyethylene foam plant for one rotation and oxide derivatives plant for second.
