• Provide program deliverables such as timing plans, FTEs, estimated budgets, B.O.M. add/delete lists, defining proactive activities, weekly program status updates, Part tracking and status, • Manage or schedule proactive tasks like FEA analysis, tol. stack-ups, FMEAs, gear and bearing analysis, and virtual part fit-ups.• Supervise and guide contractors and coworkers assisting on projects.• Managed risks and delays to the project schedule through reprioritization of tasks, requesting additional personnel when needed, generating alternate designs for temporary mitigations, using prototype suppliers, working directly with suppliers.• Improve design efficiency by reducing total number of drawings. 70 drawings eliminated in last program vs. current production.• Assisted in plant quality improvements through assembly, part, tool, and process audits.• Assisted manufacturing plant during union strike through building assemblies, training, and supervising contract line workers.

• Assisted with Case IH Magnum/New Holland T8 tractor transmission project increasing tractor horsepower from 340 to 400 hp.• Improved durability of components using analysis, part history, warranty data, customer and dealer feedback, performing gear and spline analysis using CNH industrial internal software.• Managed and released bill of materials and drawings for a combined total of over 100 new parts and assemblies. • Worked directly with the product validation group reviewing and analyzing data, inspecting parts for root cause of failures.• Worked with outside suppliers to ensure part manufacturability, improving part quality, assisting with technical questions.• Managed risks and delays to the project schedule by finding alternate part sources or changing designs.• Supervised contractors and coworkers assisting on the project and mentored new hire engineers.

• Redesigned the large dozer undercarriage system. Undercarriage component max life was improved from 4000 hrs. to 6000 hrs. while reducing CNH Industrial cost by over $300 per vehicle.• Supported the redesign of the smaller dozer undercarriage systems.• Supervised contractors assisting on the project and assisted colleagues working on the smaller dozer undercarriage redesign• Managed and released bill of materials and over 300 drawings• Worked with manufacturing to design tooling, generate S.O.P.s, and assist with prototype builds• Worked with the product validation group updating test procedures, reviewing data, and updating designs as needed• Worked with external suppliers to get parts on time, assist with technical questions, and adjusting designs based on feedback.• Performed benchmarking and reverse engineering on competitor dozer undercarriages

• Assisted with design modifications to address quality issues on skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, and dozers.• Assisted with design modifications to reduce component costs by up to $20.• Create and updated 2D Drawings and 3D CAD models using Pro Engineer and managed engineering B.O.M.s

I was directly involved in checking drawings for pipeline lay-layouts, valves, and storage bins for nitrogen and other chemicals.

I improved the efficiency of one of their fully automated assembly lines through observations, talking to operators and maintenance, and collecting data from equipment.
