Lead the R&D team at Maverick Power to develop cutting-edge switchgear products for data centers, commercial, and industrial use. • Manage the design, testing, and certification processes to ensure product quality and compliance.• Streamline processes that reduce product development cycle time.

There is a never ending supply of tools with acronyms like CAD, CAM, ERP, PDM, PLM, FEA, CFD, etc. Startups and SMBs usually have great Engineers, Designers, and Techs but don't have the skills and/or man hours to develop sophisticated processes and unleash their productivity. I have over 25 years of experience with helping large and small companies use existing people and tools, upgrading where it makes sense, improving time to market, quality, and cost.

∙ Provided mechanical design, structural/thermal analysis and project management consulting services to manufacturing and product design companies∙ Reduced time to market by eliminating design iterations required to release products meeting customer needs∙ Provided mechanical architecture, PCB layout support and thermal simulation support for telecom, computing, medical, and many other electronics products∙ Improved project management methods for privately held software company and managed customer implementation for $100K project∙ Implemented quick-turn thermal analysis for customer in under two weeks, requiring new software tool, requirements gathering and completed report∙ Medium to large clients included: Raytheon, Commscope, and Optimal Electronics

∙ Managed cross functional teams of 10-22 FTEs each, consisting of mechanical and product engineers, tech writers, CAD specialists, and electrical/reliability labs while overseeing a $3.2M annual budget∙ Developed and qualified multiple NPI (New Product Introductions), addressed key quality issues, and developed full documentation sets for product release∙ Facilitated and process improvement initiatives to include: statistical analysis, drawing checking process, Lessons Learned database, and general improvements to project management practices

∙ Led team of three engineers and designers, from concept to manufacturing, for all aspects of system and mechanical design for indoor DAS system, conducting thermal analysis and testing of all system components while coordinating with EE and supply chain teams for design and manufacturing∙ Scheduled design activities, prototype builds, and physical testing for program with eight major products and dozens of accessories∙ Selected and mentored summer interns and junior rotational engineers∙ Organized thermal design community group of engineers across all business units with regular meetings and central SharePoint site for shared collaboration∙ Advised sales and marketing team as tech resource for fuel-cell-based UPS systems

∙ Supported RFID product line in the U.S. valued at $30M annually∙ Provided technical support and customer service as key marketing differentiator for the Business Unit∙ Performed RF systems and interoperability testing to ensure products operated properly with devices from partners and other vendors∙ Identified and fixed product problems in collaboration with production machine vendors

Provided mechanical design, thermal/mechanical analysis, PCB layout, drawing release, and testing for GR-63, GR-1089, FCC, and UL compliance.• Key member of process improvement team that reduced the number of man hours required to release drawing packages by approx. 50% • Developed and improved configuration management methodology for multi-configuration products• Promoted to Lead Physical Design Engineer responsible for project management and mechanical/thermal design of approx. 50 new product releases, cost reductions, and product refreshes over 4 years• Forged a much better interface with Manufacturing Engineering to resolve DFM issues much earlier in the design cycle resulting in a significant decrease in problems found during assembly• Coordinated summer intern program for group and mentored several students

Transferred to Global Development and Engineering office in Tokyo area to act as a liaison between Japanese and US based design teams. Performed thermal analysis, compliance testing, and physical design support for telecommunication products.• Facilitated knowledge transfer for business and engineering practices between the Japan and US teams• Improved relationship between Japanese and American teams
