Mechanical design engineer in the Space and Defense Industry working in the Space & Intelligence department on satellite antennae reflectors. Subsystem IPT design lead: Lead and oversee the design team efforts for a mission-critical subassembly for a multi-million dollar space antennae reflector while staying on-schedule and under-budget. Responsibilities include: - Identification of both near and far-term issues along with conceptualization of ideas/solutions. - CAD modeling/FEM analysis of components and assemblies using Creo/ProE software. - Analysis of various designs/trades throughout design process. - Evaluation of manufacturability and integration of components/assemblies. - Mass/weight management and budgeting. - Management of Supplier Support Requests and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs). As cost account manager, responsibilities include: Budget management, manpower management, task prioritization, resource allocation.

Oversaw and monitored product lifecycle from design to shipment in conjunction with program team, ensuring product adherence to customer and government requirements. - Conducted process mapping and time/capability studies to improve throughput, eliminate bottlenecks and ensure adherence to customer specifications using Lean Quality Tools, such as, FMEA, Pareto Charts, Fishbone Diagrams, etc. - Performed weekly/monthly/yearly statistical trending analysis and present findings to upper management.Special Projects/Leadership: Assembled and lead teams tasked with identification and capitalization of process improvement solutions on site-wide projects. Eight projects completed to date, such as: - Through the use of trending analysis, identified process improvement opportunity in Kit Verification operations. Process improvement led to $25,000 in annual cost avoidance, reduced operator fatigue, and was implemented at other Harris locations.Key Proficiencies: Failure analysis; root cause/corrective action analysis; trending analysis supplier support requests; engineering change orders; process mapping, FMEA; testing validation; familiarity with manufacturing processes; communication with suppliers; teaching/mentoring of new employees.
