• Key Account Manager for aerospace customers including Parker Aerospace, GE, and Woodward.• Negotiated contracts worth +$50 million for aerospace liquid filtration products for use on both commercial and military applications.• Lead cross-functional teams through new product introduction (NPI) projects including highest revenue new project for the division worth more than $3 million annually.• Developed business proposals for highly technical new projects while performing cost estimation and pricing activity.• Worked as “voice of the customer” to ensure programs were completed to their satisfaction while managing program schedule, cost, and requirements.• Developed strategy and identified target customers and aircraft by conducting market research.

• Team leader of 5 new product introduction (NPI) teams in 2021. Led team including representatives from Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Supply Chain, and Sales through project stage gate completion.• Responsible for increasingly difficult and complex design projects including filter housings, filter elements, pressure bypass valves, and check valves for both fixed and rotary wing aircraft hydraulic, lubrication, and fuel systems. • Involved in project management from start to finish including initial quotation, design, analysis, and final testing and customer approval. • Collaborate with Sales in developing cost baseline for products and developing pricing models for new product. Work closely with customer technical leads in developing requirements, accomplishing project deliverables, and maintaining project schedules.• Highly experienced and skilled in leading customer design reviews for product.

• Responsible for both aftermarket and OEM design projects including commercial and military products. • Worked as part of an aftermarket product team which received a record number of FAA product approvals (17) for a fiscal year.• Utilized Solidworks 3D CAD software to develop models, prove concepts, and create detailed drawings of components and assemblies. • Created filter media design tool which organized entire library of test reports into one database. Cut initial design phase by 50%.• Worked directly with customers to generate customized design and meet given requirements. • Employed the use of FEA and CFD simulation software to ensure optimal design. Complete FAA qualification testing on final products.

Designed specialized driveline components for multiple racing circuits including the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series. Utilized Solidworks 3D CAD and FEA software to minimize the rotating mass of the driveline while maintaining adequate strength. Interacted with race team engineers to determine the specific needs of each driver. Researched alloys for use in racing transmission gears. Collected and analyzed dynamometer data to develop new products and optimize existing products.• Designed adjustable throw shifter for NASCAR racing series. The length of shifter throw could be adjusted to each driver’s preference.• Designed prototype gear train with goal of reducing moment of inertia as much as possible. Moment of inertia was reduced by 25% without sacrificing strength.

Designed and led fabrication team in building parasitic rear differential dynamometer. Specified components and designed layout of dynamometer. Directed team daily in assemblage of test stand. Used test stand to demonstrate capabilities of differential cooling pump to race teams and complete testing based on their specifications.•Improved existing cooling pump based on collected data by optimizing oil flow. The optimization resulted in a 1.5 horsepower gain and improved cooling performance.•Project drew members of each major Sprint Cup team to facility for demonstration and testing.•Results of project published in “Circle Track” magazine.
