Development of leading edge automation technologies that increase product consistency, reduce variation, defects. Working towards processing and tooling that are repeatable and scalable, ultimately to be implemented in a manufacturing environment. Integration of new technologies as appropriate to develop manufacturing mythologies, qualification of.

Optimizing, coordinating change management. Ensuring Engineering and Manufacturing changes are implemented in a timely fashion. Analyzes changes of product design and build methodologies to determine the effect on the end product design for fit and function. Coordinates with Engineering and Manufacturing to facilitate a process for change and develops a.

Tooling and Process Developement:Corrected problematic tool error that had been causing scrapped product for extended period of time (of almost 2 years), during first 3 months of my tenure. Conservative savings qualified at $100K/yr with 32Mw line.Completed a prototype tool to inline production level. System achieved a reduction in line scrap by 2%, at a.

Managed the US and international conversion and implementation process of next-generation cellular projects from Micro-burst to SMS. communications protocol. Provided cost to benefit analysis of operational income from projects from directly and indirectly related to further deployment of additional device and technology installation sites. Maximize system.

Designed and developement implementing new software, systems and methodologies for process optimization. Managed vendors to assure tooling met commissioning criteria. Diagnosed issues affecting performance to root cause. Designed and tested upgrades to decrease MTBR/MTBF of tooling and ultimately decreased costs of operations and increased reliability.

Developed process to recapte functional product by introducing focused testing mythologies. This was accomplished by devising improved electrical screening process algorithms, thereby recovering falsely failed material and lost revenue.

Coordinated multiple projects across many departments to ensure timely delivery of mechanical sample devices. Ultimately centralized process which resulted in less errors and timely arrival of in spec mechanical samples well ahead of new tooling arrival.Directed development of a central database with tracking system team for ease of operations to.

Managed shift activities of up to 20 technical personnel and operations of nearly $100 million in testing equipment with emphasis on efficient production, training of personnel, performance of preventative maintenance and repair of tools.

Performed maintenance duties including repair, maintenance and calibrations in addition to addressing problematic tool performance and quality issues.
