• 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.
