• Developed products through independent work and team collaboration from voice of the customer unmet need to commercialization with a focus on design for manufacturing.• Procured management and internal business unit resources and support by completing business cases documenting market segmentation, customer value proposition and net present value for the company.• Communicated project status to management and cross functional teams using presentations and technical reports that contained product cost analysis, IP opportunities, customer feedback, SolidWorks models, prototype testing, product field testing and pilot manufacturing runs.

• $100,000 in first year organic sales by leveraging Donaldson technologies into new markets and products.• Increased company IP portfolio through five patents in a two year period. Patent work included assisting with prior art searches, detailing patent content to protect claims and writing and reviewing claims.• Independently Learned and applied SolidWorks knowledge to create product models, assemblies and patent claims.• Designed, evaluated and ran manufacturing equipment to build new products for small to large volume runs.• Communicated with end users about unmet needs and proved product designs using field studies.

• Managed and Lead equipment design and builds that ranged from $50,000 to over a million dollars. Tasks included guiding design improvements, managing projects using MS Project, communicating budgets, resources and schedules to upper management, leading design reviews, selecting vendors, managing equipment builds and running validation and start up procedures.• Worked with diverse teams consisting of production plant managers, corporate engineers, plant engineers and plant operators to optimize production, reduce waste, and improve quality of production products.• Expanded polyurethane and adhesive dispense manufacturing capacity for high altitude production through the design, build and shipment of equipment to the Aguascalientes, Mexico manufacturing plant. Worked with plant engineers and operators to develop equipment, instructions and validation procedures.

• Increased production rates by 30 to 100% for Trade Secret electrospinning coating lines using engineering fundamentals tested on bench top concepts and scaled up to full scale manufacturing equipment.• Solved a polymer mix tank production issue using fluid dynamics and mixing principles that had persisted for several months, severely affecting production output.• Reduced product cost and optimized production rates through a $250,000 floating dryer study that defined process specifications that led to a stable and consistent manufacturing process.• Managed and implemented the development, startup and qualification of a small scale thin film polymer layer application machine for a 3D cell growth structure on a slide.

• Increased annual organic sales over a million dollars through the design and creation of a point of use filter based on end user input and needs. Product became and is currently an industrial standard.• Designed, built prototypes and wrote production procedures for high purity, low off-gassing filters used to control the deposition of organic, base and acid compounds on lithography lenses.• Managed and served as technical liaison for product development projects to meet evolving customer and market needs with customer driven deadlines.• Co-authored papers and posters presented at technical semiconductor industry conferences.

• Applied particle filtration and ventilation concepts to solve difficult dust collection applications, create application specific collection systems and improve collector filtration efficiency.• Wrote and taught courses on industrial ventilation designs and particle filtration theory.

• Gained knowledge of state and federal OSHA regulations that includes general process safety practices, ventilation design, and personal protection equipment.• Conducted site visits that involved evaluating processes, operations, interviewing employees, documenting compliance status, and report writing.• Developed and presented solutions to companies to solve personal exposure violations and safety concerns.
