Air diffusion devices, air control valves, and mixing boxes; including electric motors, pneumatic & electric actuators, electric heaters, acoustic baffling, digital, electrical and pneumatic controls.Responsible for entire product life cycle: Ideation & conceptualization, research & development, design, design reviews, cost reviews, scheduling, engineering drawings, prototyping, manufacturing engineering, work instructions, jigs & tooling, packaging, technical illustrations, technical writing, testing & data collection, database maintenance, field & technical support, applications engineering, and software development.Primary responsibility was designing new products using Solidworks and AutoCAD & producing attendant documentation and drawings. Secondary responsibility was testing product for noise & vibration, pressure drop, air speed velocity, and temperature distribution; collecting & presenting test data.Select AchievementsDesigned a slot diffuser that resulted in three U.S. patents (see below). Design led to new product line with $200K in first year incremental sales.Redesigned proprietary hospital operating room diffusion system. Reduced cost 4X while increasing profit margin 2X. Redesign allowed bringing manufacturing in-house, reducing lead time from four weeks to one.Developed design for first-ever, four-function, pneumatic controller built entirely of injection molded parts.Developed initiative that led to automating fan curve testing using LabVIEW versus Siemens. Resulted in increased data reliability, an ability to collect data three times faster, and freeing up one lab person to perform other tests.Assisted in development of division ISO 9001:2000 standards.Managed project to design, specify and build new $1.2 million HVAC test & research facility in Dallas, Texas.Co-authored ASHRAE technical paper & ASHRAE Journal article.
