• Responsible for the planning, budgeting, developing, procuring, commissioning, and validation of assembly tooling and equipment to support New Product Development and Improvement activities.
• Analyzed, proposed, and implemented process improvements and cost savings initiatives.
• Developed the product DFA (Designs for Assembly) with the Research & Development teams and provide constructive feedback. Some of these suggestions resulted in being added as a Co-Inventor on the product’s patent.
• Managed internal designers & programmers, as well as multiple outside vendors. Created, updated, and communicated the project status, milestones, and requirements to the project’s extended and core teams.
• Drafted machine specifications to address high RPN’s (Risk Priority Numbers) in the PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) document, EHS concerns, or for business needs.
• Worked with quality, Research & Development, and manufacturing teams to develop the PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), and CTQ (Critical to Quality).

• Designed, analyzed, and oversaw the installation of test equipment and flight test hardware sustaining the testing and qualification of new and revised aircraft using Catia V5 to generate 3-D models and drawings..
• Peer reviewed co-worker designs and detailed drawings.
• Assisted and trained a new offsite flight test hardware engineering design group.
• Received training and regularly applied Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (ASME Y14.5) to new designs.

• Designed, analyzed, and oversaw the installation of test equipment, flight test hardware, and ground support equipment sustaining the testing and qualification of new and revised aircraft using Catia V4 to generate 3-D.
• Coordinated with different engineering groups in order to integrate flight test systems with the aircraft.
• Responsible for medium sized projects and assisted with large projects with little to moderate guidance.
• Displayed a solid understanding of mechanical engineering and system integration fundamentals.
• Exceeded expectations on the budgets and schedules on numerous projects.
