Matthew Ney Email and Phone Number

•Lead process engineering support and training for SMT and multi-functioning assembly value stream. •Conduct failure analysis and develop corrective action plans based on sound root cause problem solving principles. •Facilitated manufacturing setup, process development, documentation, and training from engineering to pre-production phase as the lead process engineer on a new design project. •Enhanced processing methods, routers, tooling, and mechanical design on a multitude of legacy products to best manufacturing methods. Outcome has reduced amount of non-value added rework, reduced operator touch time, and standardized processing methods. •Analyze manufacturing processes through value stream mapping and lean methodologies to develop optimized production flow and work cell setup.•Develop and enhance production standard work, routes, and procedures for production floor.•Create and process ECO’s for engineering drawings, Bill of Materials, source control drawings, and process documentation.•Perform PFMEA’s on new and existing products.•Produce technical presentation materials and report to peers, management, and customers for status updates, analysis, manufacturing readiness, and issue resolution. •Experienced with substrate attach, component placement, epoxy dispense, hand & reflow furnace soldering, resistance welding, seam sealing, vacuum processing, and wirebonding used for Microelectronic Assembly. •Collaborate with various SMT house to start new production runs, trouble shoot attachment issues, and enhance overall product quality. •Provides material review board support on discrepant materials. Reviews SCD’s and specifications to determine disposition. Works with suppliers on product and process development as well as root cause corrective action to mitigate defective material.

•Performed end-to-end value stream diagnosis, analysis, design, and implementation of future state design throughout four Value Streams.•Assumed lead role of factory floor optimization. Designed, planned, and executed 30,000 sq. ft. factory floor layout to budget and deadlines while achieving a floor reduction of 25%. •Received Sir Alan Cobham bronze level award for teamwork.•Received comprehensive lean training by working with McKinsey&Company consultants and participation in McKinsey&Company model factory training.•Worked closely with operations and upper management to formulate and present manufacturing plan to high profile customer. Defined and executed manning requirements, hiring, training plan and work flow structure.•Provided daily support priorities to production personnel and team leads drive continuous flow production. Provided status updates and production plans to Production and Value Stream Manager.

•Created 3D models and engineering drawings and prototypes for the Antenna division. Working knowledge of ANSI Y14.5 and geometric tolerance.•Developed and enhanced epoxy bonding operations using various conductive and non-conductive epoxies.•Resolved daily production issues with assembly personnel through root cause problem solving.•Performed structural analysis using Solidworks simulation software utilizing mechanical engineering principles and theories.•Developed and validated manufacturing processes and documentation for RF antenna products that required Epoxy bonding, hand soldering, riveting, machining, and forming.•Continuously improved and enhanced assembly tooling and processes.•Established strong working relationships with vendors by collaborating during design phase to improve manufacturability of products.•Worked on design and development of an anechoic test chamber for high volume GPS Antenna product.
