I lead and launch product designs across a variety of industries (e.g. consumer electronics, aerospace, outdoor, medical, and automotive) with a focus on building high performance products and customer outcome-focused teams. Over the past 18+ years, I’ve honed the ability to accelerate end-to-end product development of complex hardware products by cultivating a foundation of engineering fundamentals and design thinking on my teams aided by best practices in DFSS (QFD, decision analysis, dFMEA, pFMEA, DFx, etc.), Lean, FEA, tolerance analysis, DOEs, and root cause analysis. I bring an empathetic and social-oriented leadership style to organizations by personally setting examples to achieve exceptional quality and efficiency while diversifying thinking to drive innovation and results.Core competencies:Engineering Management | Product Development | Cross-Functional Team Management | Project Management | 2D & 3D CAD, advanced surfacing, skeleton and master architecture (CATIA, CREO, & Solidworks) | FEA | Prototyping | Design for Assembly (DFA) | Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) | DFMEA | Lean Manufacturing | Injection Molding | Root Cause Analysis | GD&T | Statistical Tolerance AnalysisDesign and Manufacturing Knowledge:PCBA & FPC | Injection Molding | Insert and over-molding | Plastic Welding (spin, ultrasonic, & hot platen) | Compression Molding | RTM | Rotational Molding | Blow Molding | Carbon fiber | Cut & Sew | RF Welding | PSA | LDA | Casting (die, permanent mold, investment, and sand) | Stamping | Extrusion | MIM | CNC | 3D Printing (MJF, FDM, SLS, SLA, Al)
