-Was the primary structural analyst for the crawlers/bulldozer platforms. Provided guidance for new designs and cost reduction ideas. Helped develop cost effective solutions for warranty and test failures.-Simulated safety tests on safety structures such as rollover protections structures that required large, complex, non-linear models with high levels of plastic deformation. -Used advance analysis techniques for fatigue life predictions such as modal superposition and crack growth analysis.-Collaborated closely with test engineers to ensure test structures were properly gauged to avoid repeating expensive and time-consuming tests.

-Led project for a major design change to the engine enclosure for the large 4WD articulated tractor platform. Managed team of design engineers and modelers in India and collaborated with manufacturing and quality engineers in both the USA and Mexico. -Led project to update the assembly torques for the hydraulic connections for the large row crop tractor lines to address warranty issues. Required close collaboration with manufacturing teams across two factories and multiple assembly lines to avoid ergonomic issues. Resulted in a 60% reduction in warranty claims for leaks. -Performed detailed warranty analysis to identify design, assembly, and supplier quality issues. Collaborated with the appropriate parties to resolve the issues and get failures per machine down to goal. -Worked with manufacturing to resolve ergonomic and difficult assembly issues

-Reviewed part ISIRs-Recorded issues during pre-production builds

I was a general service technician, who's duties involved performing oil changes, and tire repair and replacement, and alignments. I also did brake jobs, transmission services, engine replacements, and other various repair jobs.
