Management of all Technical, Commercial and Customer deliverables for On Highway vehicles.

• Led the Technical management of a $37M research and development project focusing upon design, testing, building, and quality follow-up to update existing products to meet new emissions requirement.• Increased customer satisfaction through developing and implementing “Voice of Customer” processes.• Increased product profitability by 2% through the establishment of program scope, traditional and TCO cost measures.• Organized and led a cross-functional team of 18 people to achieve program requirements on-time and on-budget.• Accelerated the product development cycle and reduced R&D using virtual product development techniques.• Utilized value stream techniques to proactively improve manufacturability and increase assembly line velocity.

• Repurposed a previously faltered R&D program to successfully update product lines and deliver customer value.• Led technical feasibility studies while participating in competitive assessments to develop program scope.• Collected domestic and international “Voice of Customer” requirements in preparation for program launches through international trade shows and customer site visits.• Developed method to prioritize program scope by itemizing NPV by product feature.• Led multiple focus teams to investigate and resolve customer performance issues.

• Managed resources through project planning to successfully meet three demanding parallel New Product Introduction (NPI) program timelines.• Promoted Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and concurrent product and process development.• Facilitated cost reduction efforts through product trend line analyses, product walk a-rounds and brainstorming events.• Promoted cross-team collaboration and virtual design reviews to design it right the first time. • Engaged in virtual audits to evaluate best practices and implement changes prior to production.

• Managed development and cost of heavy structures for multiple product lines.• Performed outsourcing feasibility evaluations with metallurgy lab and operations.• Collaborated with operations to optimize manufacturability of designs while reducing variable costs.• Performed Finite Element Analysis and On Machine Stress Analysis testing to redesign multiple structures to meet durability requirements.

• Designed improved radiator guard which was used as a reference baseline for future projects.• Correlated structural models to test data and redesigned structures for a 7x life improvement.
