Berkeley, California, United States

• Led development and implementation of automation solutions for large-scale manufacturing of high-performance thermoplastic composite components. Managed small project teams and $300K-$500K project budgets. Coached.
• Led a portfolio of projects in support of a business-critical initiative, including projects to develop and implement automation solutions for high value and high impact areas of the production environment.
• Recognized for driving a culture of safety and precision across the development and implementation process, including safe implementation of automation in an overseas high volume production facility.
• Saved $4.2M in capital expenses by re-evaluating project assumptions, identifying unintended costs in existing project plans, and recommending a new approach – implementation of new, simplified, and more scalable.
• Developed an innovative solution for a specific composite manufacturing problem (patent application submitted).

Mukilteo, Washington, United States

• Served in a hybrid capacity – moving between project manager and lead mechanical engineer in a dynamic, loosely defined organizational structure. Managed design, development, and delivery of manufacturing automation.
• Designed and implemented an improved cable dress pack and a robot X-base assembly – a broadly adopted enhancement that increased performance while simplifying manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance.
• Improved performance and usability of a continuous carbon fiber 3D printing robot by developing and implementing a custom, high-efficiency laser switcher that enabled laser energy to pass to 3 separate paths with 1.
• Designed and implemented a high-performance 6th-axis replacement for Kuka robots to improve speed, accuracy, stiffness, payload inertia, and other parameters while allowing for ease of assembly, maintenance, and.
• Led design and on-site (Kakamigahara, Japan) installation of a custom-designed automated fiber placement machine for Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Partnered closely with other internal engineers and Japan-based.
• Led design, manufacture, management, and on-site (Nagoya, Japan) installation of a custom full-barrel fuselage fastening machine that installs aerospace fasteners over a complete barrel section of the Boeing 787.
