Managed a department of 80+ engineers, which each included engineers located in North America and Europe who performed modeling and simulation to digitally validate portions of a vehicle design. The models and simulations helped determine whether fatigue and Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) satisfied engineering requirements. These teams also simulated stamping feasibility and analyzed mold flow. • Managed a team of capable engineering professionals that performed digital validation of portions of a vehicle design, referred to as a Body in White (BIW) structures, including frames, sub-frames, closures, facias, and grills• Supervised and staffed team to deliver analytical assessments throughout the design phase to engineering completion, including leading weekly design reviews of simulation results to coach engineering team and drive issue resolution • Worked collaboratively with team, parts designers, test departments, and manufacturing both inside company and outside vendors to optimize structures, plan production, discover root causes of problems, and resolve issues • Performed risk analysis of issues discovered during testing or product launch, and identified solutions to mitigate risk• Developed budgets and planned resources to meet corporate objectives• Planned and executed department reduction that enabled smaller department to satisfy engineering milestones• Initiated projects to reduce costs, such as an initiative to design parts to reduce material utilization• Investigated and implemented new technologies and processes that improved simulation and design capabilities by improving correlations between CAE results and physical test results
