Product leader tasked with planning, scheduling, initiating, conducting, and coordinating all engineering assignments related to the 24SI and 28SI heavy-duty brush alternator product families. Managed the benchmarking, development, and testing of select heavy-duty alternator products for both on and off-highway applications.Led the engineering effort to transplant manufacturing of select heavy-duty alternator production from Hungary to Mexico by instituting production timeframes to save over $1M annually in production and transportation costs. Technical liaison for various organizational units including design, manufacturing, warranty, test, marketing, and purchasing groups.Collaborated in Design and Production Failure Mode Element Analysis (DFMEA & PFMEA) for alternator products with the goal of identifying any potential issue that might arise in manufacturing or in the field.

Assisted the lead engineer in managing the setup changes to the car.Maintained 80% of the electronic components on the race car, as well as the pit stand and fuel rig. Responsible for generating the fuel strategy prior to the race and adjusting it in real-time during the race, factoring fuel consumption, race pace, and tire degradation.

Responsible for transitioning all products generated in the design department to the manufacturing group.Using dedicated software translated components from SolidWorks and CATIA to dedicated CAM software to verify design-for-manufacturability and generate optimal codes for producing said parts. Led the process gap analysis to increase the productivity of the manufacturing department by over 30%. Created routing cards and production order procedures to define time-frames and costs related to the manufacturing of a variety of engine components for the IndyCar, NASCAR, kart, and marine programs.Developed layout architectures and successfully implemented fixturing and tooling schema for the production of components used in lines.Trained engineers on manufacturing processes, process improvement, and CAM software for application in our in-house production lines.

Responsible for the operation and reliability of multiple engines during a race weekend.Assisted in the development of desktop simulators based on LabView software to prove out calibrations and sensors prior to on-track testing as well as replaying recorded data for failure analysis.Developed in-car sensor packages successfully used on track to monitor engine vitals.Calibrated chassis and engine parameters based on collected data, testing schedule, and driver feedback.Implemented training schedules and assisted in the development of training matrices to enhance the skillsof other engineers and increase the productivity of the group, both at the track and in the office.
