Gilbert, Arizona, United States

• Lead Industrial Engineer supporting spacecraft and satellite manufacturing operations for seven mixed-model work centers in multiple locations, including Gilbert, Arizona and Dulles, Virginia, supporting programs such as NASA's Human and Logistics Outpost (HALO) lunar space station, the Joint Polar Satellites System (JPSS) weather constellation, and the Cygnus Spacecraft - Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) for the International Space Station (ISS), among others• Provides technical leadership and oversight for the creation, expansion, and skill development of the Industrial Engineering department at all TSSD locations• Facilitates Value Stream Mapping workshops by bringing together all supporting organizations to identify and remove “waste” in the system and identify potential improvement opportunities• Responsible for strategically developing and executing 50+ continuous improvement projects in manufacturing and their supporting operations• Creates long-range forecasting, scenario planning, and impact assessments for potential program wins and provides estimates for cycle and lead time durations• Interfaces with Digital Transformation Organization to implement multiple DTO initiatives, including virtual & augmented reality (VR/AR), advanced metrics, and other Factory of the Future initiatives

Mesa, Arizona, United States

• Co-Led the industrial engineering team standing up a 150,000 sqft secure Advanced Composite Manufacturing Facility (ACFC) in Mesa, AZ• Facilitated the strategic planning for Lean Design Build Review workshops which ensured effective and efficient production work scope creation• Led the creation of the Constraint Based Scheduling Aurora model for the ACFC program by strategically working with the Production Engineering team to develop build standard templates• Facilitated the Material Fabrication Capacity & Production Readiness workshop which developed the flow and processes for meeting fabrication demand in the printed materials work centers • Developed equipment capacity analysis, manufacturing part flow diagrams, and factory layouts in order to prepare for transition from development to production rate readiness

Littleton, Colorado

• Led the quality organization in developing, piloting, and implementing the MCAD2Ops CAD Delivery Utility which simplifies the interface that displays the data needed for manufacturing production orders across an array of NASA programs, including the Orion deep-space human-rated capsule , Mars Insight Lander, OSIRIS-REx asteroid recovery spacecraft, GPS III navagational satellite constalation, and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) weather satellite constellation, among others, enabling the transition to Model-Based Systems Engineering. • Coordinated Digital Transformation Office objectives with the Advanced Quality Technologies team to implement broad visions from senior management and develop executable actions • Provided expertise for 6S events in multiple areas, including Receiving & Inspection and the Data Processing Facility, reducing the area footprint by over 350 square feet• Created training budget plans and provided weekly updates on variances to senior leadership while performing the roll of Training Control Account Manager for Advanced Technologies

Greater New Orleans Area

• Created 72-hour manufacturing schedule for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) Program, which provides first-line and senior management with insight on project delays and how to prioritize critical resources on a daily basis.• Provided daily engineering support to the shop floor in the Friction-Stir Welding work centers and the Paint & Thermal Protection Application work centers by reviewing drawings, procedures and engineering orders for completeness and implemented engineering changes that incorporated corrective actions to improve manufacturing build instructions.• Created and led six Employee Involvement Teams that implemented 30+ cost reduction projects and generated over $7.5M in cost savings. • Conducted Value Stream Analysis & Lean Assessments to pinpoint areas ripe for improvement.• Facilitated 10+ safety improvement projects with an estimated cost avoidance of $2.5M.• Demonstrated strong communication skills across multiple disciplines for Integrated Project Teams.• Implemented 5S capability at the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility and served as site focal point.• Developed 5S implementation checklist for adoption throughout Boeing Defense & Space Division.• Served as the Membership Focal Point for the Boeing REACH Volunteer Program, which is an outreach program that supports the local New Orleans community.

Eugene, Oregon, United States

• Developed Excel Add-Ins and 50+ Visual Basic Macros for improved efficiency of 30 employees, combining product numbers in correct format for rapid transfer to ERP system.• Reduced the time for bi-weekly inventory counts by 95% for robotic service technicians by redesigning the hose storage area and developing standardized naming conventions. • Significantly improved organizational efficiency by reducing inventory from 250 parts to 150 parts by systematically eliminating duplicate parts and identifying those that were no longer used.• Increased department profit by 7% by alerting senior management that $100K per year was “given away” to other divisions per existing procedures for transfer costing. • Eliminated three to four major quarterly errors in ordering cable trays that saved $30K in annual inventory and labor costs. • Provided added-value to cost estimating engineers by creating 25-30 new project reports utilizing Visual Basic Macros that delineated costs into more detail for material and labor.

Portland, Oregon, United States

• Transitioned 22 parts from traditional “push production” model to more efficient “level pull production” model, which reduced requirements from 10 parts & 10 machines to simply one machine.• Conducted time studies on 40-50 processes per production part, thereby finding improvements to save time and money and labor on future productions.• Created month-long simulations for 22 parts to illustrate how parts flowed through the system.• Produced quarterly load charts for 1st and 2nd level managers to predict staffing requirements, and then communicated with the managers to determine actual staffing assignments.

I managed over 8 people directly in 2 locations. I was responsible for 15,000 daily subscription deliveries. I oversaw over 100 routes with over 70 carriers.
