Lead process engineer for conventional polishing of spherical and aspheric optics, specializing in highly aspheric lightweight convex secondary mirrors for spaced based telescope systems. Solved complex engineering problems and built strong cohesive team including machine upgrades, execution of complex optical processes and collaborated with process engineering team to produce world class optics.Managed machine operations staff for grinding, polishing, and process issues on variety of optics to complete projects on time and under budget.Designed tooling, fixtures and handling equipment for large solid and lightweight optics.Significantly reduced process time of secondary and tertiary mirrors by developing new process that reduced edge errors with small cross-functional engineering team.

Provided process engineering to the optical shop and service center, including production floor equipment, process development, facility issues and testing. Developed process to finish concave/convex lenses on a double sided polishing machine removing an entire step in the process.Designed tooling, fixtures and manufacturing cells to improve production and reduce cost.Saved cost of outside maintenance by repairing and rebuilding production equipment.Trained, operators on new process equipment, new and existing employees on production equipment in an efficient and timely fashion.Worked closely with the blank manufacturing department to design blanks that reduced finishing process time.

Manufactured optical blanks on a variety of production equipment, trained employees and supported engineering.Became proficient in the operating of Blanchard grinders, LOH prism, Centerless grinder, STC slicing saws, Felker saw and various inspection and measurement devices.
