Responsible for implementing reliability improvements and process or hardware upgrades through project management methodology and data analysis. Drives system improvements through design engineering, assembly, and quality groups. • Drive shaft reliability project- o Scope: failure investigation, response, vendor selection, inventory management, reliability improvementso Impact: created new inspection process to identify salvageable parts; implemented inventory management procedure and ensured quality requirements addressed; scrap rate reduction- 5% to < 1% ($40k savings / qtr) • Bearing coating value analysiso Scope: evaluate radial bearing service life and cost benefit of tile vs hard metal coatings o Impact: discovered failure rates and associated costs; used output to choose the option that extends service life and reduces cost• Flow diverter failure analysiso Scope: analyze and report failure rates; generate map to illustrate design weakness locationso Impact: design upgrades to lengthen service life; reduced scrap rate by 15% ($50k/qtr)• Using Solidworks, created press design and managed manufacturing for a disassembly support project. New capability will salvage parts at an estimated $50k/quarter• Conducts forensic material testing on failed parts, comparing / analyzing results vs original specifications

Responsible for using department resources in delivering new technology projects assigned to the development group. Managed a staff of 15, including engineers, drafters, assembly and test technicians, and administrative personnel. • Managed a monodiameter project using an expandable cone for 5-1/2 casing. o Despite a 21.4% increase in ID, the tooling was used to expand the pipe followed by a successful pressure test. o Worked with management to discontinue use of 3rd party design contractor in the UK. Assigned prior to my arrival, the ability to monitor performance, control cost, educate vendor on the technology, and ensure quality was commercially ineffective.• Led effort to document the process that evaluates new business. The document assigned roles and responsibilities in various departments and gave management a formal method for integrating, delaying, or rejecting new technology • Established a method, using Wellplan, to predict hookloads during expandable casing deployments • Using referenced process, managed 3 projects from business idea to commercializationo 16” casing- verification of materials, test fixture design, expansion and pressure testing then work with marketing to support release.o Coating test to reduce coefficient of friction during expansion. Output provided a coating recommendation for commercial use o 8” casing- verification of materials, design of tooling, test fixture design, expansion and pressure testing then work with marketing to support release.
