• Established and Managed Engineering Dept. following Juiced Rite brand sale and transfer. Responsible for creating schedules, timelines, ROM estimates, employee and resource allocation, as well as hiring and training of new staff. Additional tasking includes supervision of purchasing staff, creating business and marketing plans, producing job descriptions, and working with Production Manager to streamline interaction between design and construction.• Implemented Best Practices design guidelines to reduce development time of new projects. Centrally located on the server, this series of drawings identified material specifications, motor integration packages, pump selection criteria, control enclosure layouts, critical press layout procedures, and more. This is a heuristic system designed to allow new engineering staff to get up-to-speed and productive quickly and efficiently. • Led design team through the development of the Model 800 Press System. This fully automated multi-layer filter press was custom ordered by the French Company, Darégal. Working closely with production engineers at Darégal we created a system allowing a single operator to wash and reduce produce, load the press, extract and collect product, and remove the waste pomace. Project was completed on-budget and in a short timeline; 5 months to design, manufacture, test, and install the equipment in France.• Responsible for the development of the CB600 bottling system. Designed for small-scale juice producers, this compact bottling system integrates all sub-systems necessary to feed and orient bottles, fill, sort and install caps, torque, and collect 4-16oz juice bottles. System utilizes on-board air compressor, pneumatic station actuators, on-board pump unit, table-top and L-bend conveyors, multiple sensors, and HMI/PLC controls. Utilized laser-cut, bent, and welded construction to minimize fabrication costs.

• Managed Production and Engineering department staff in the design and construction of commercial hydraulic juice presses, reduction equipment, and pump units. Responsible for hiring, leading, and evaluating 8-10 team members.• Accountable for all aspects of project management. Worked with Sales staff and customers to define functional requirements project timelines and ROM pricing. Built dependency schedules, assigned staff to specific duties, oversaw internal and external design reviews, supervised production of drawing packages, fabrication and construction, controls integration, testing, and NSF certification of operational equipment.• Organized and managed development of the Model TT and Model 3400 hydraulic juice presses, representing scale extremities in the product line. The Model TT suited to counter-top operation and the Model 3400 an industrial installation with remove storage tanks, waste removal systems, CIP provisions, and OSHA approved catwalks surrounding main structure.• Specification, evaluation, and Integration of hydraulic pumping units, associated plumbing, and controls.• Design of formed sheet metal, weldment, and machined component parts and assemblies. • Generation of production level prints in accordance with ANSI/ASME Y14.5M and company standards.• Customer Service point-of-contact for technical questions. Extensive experience working with customers to identify and troubleshoot technical issues, evaluate warranty claims, and coordinate appropriate service responses.

Riverside, Ca

Responsible for time studies, labor reduction, and cost reduction operations. Produced Excel-based job resource and production costing system based on analysis of production floor operations, effectively eliminating under-bid situations. Designed tooling and fixtures, where necessary, to facilitate production efforts. • Designed automated filling equipment for a local cosmetics company. Worked with client to develop a machine fitting their production needs and budget. Performed timing and flow rate calculations to identify sub-component specifications, and executed final design and generation of production level drawings to ANSI/ASME Y14.5M standards. • Managed a team of five in-house machinists and assemblers, plus a dozen outside vendors, to complete the project on-time and on-budget.• Large Assembly Design work (nearly 1300+ parts) that included design of welded/machined components, bolted joints, shafts, axles, pivots, linkages, and seals.• Extensive integration of custom and off-the-shelf machine components: pneumatics, electric motors, linear actuators, vibratory feeders, dispense units, rotary indexers, conveyor systems, pressure transducers, optical sensors, and switches.
