OopsClunkThud is dedicated to developing products that solve a problem for ourselves or someone we love. By taking advantage of the falling cost of additive manufacturing and other short run production methods we are able to offer these products to others.

Palo Alto, Ca

Assumed duties of Solutions Architect for Engineering Collaboration in November of 2012 in addition to existing responsibilities.•Eliminated roadblocks to project planning by reducing a combinatorial compatibility matrix of five software packages (PDMLink, ModelManager, Cadence TDO, PTC ModelManager Gateway, Windchill Workgroup Manager for Cadence TDO) down to two, and ultimately one, upgrade path. Methods enabled building a 3 year roadmap and also allowed for rapid reevaluation any time the matrix changed.•Consultant to Laser Jet business on multi-year process and tool migration program from legacy systems to a PDMLink/SAP solution. Worked across organizations to identify where processes could be decoupled and negotiated business acceptance of a phased approach delivering the bulk of business benefit up front while limiting the number of changes each user group would see.•Implemented CAD driven BOMs in PDMLink to improve data integrity and timelines while reducing BOM maintenance efforts. Evaluated business processes to establish rules and best practices for generating and maintaining BOMs, developed training materials, and trained engineers on new processes.•Defined object mapping to use native PDMLink structures (substitutes, reference designators) to replace incompatible SAP-like data structures that had been shoehorned into PDMLink. Analyzed and compiled common supported units of measure in use on PDMLink and SAP to assure data consistency in migration and future flows.•Retired custom ad hoc interface and implemented event driven BOM publishing from PDMLink to SAP. New interface is integrated with standard change management workflows and utilizes XSL transforms to allow rapid future changes while maintaining support for legacy SAP interface.

•Developed algorithms for transforming product BOMs to configurable structures in SAP migration project, resulting in a 90% reduction in the number of BOMs to be managed by the business.•Successfully implemented TQM process to head off user revolt over dynamic replenishment system. Drove issues to root cause, improved training and documentation to address user error, and developed reports to identify the source of variance.

Böblingen, Germany

Responsible for the design and optimization of messaging interfaces to production and warehousing systems in third party contract manufacturers. Investigated messaging changes needed to enable complete outsourcing of the production IT environment. Moved internal messaging to standards based methods to enable outsourcing. Researched and documented "shadow IT" processes and interfaces, and migrated them to standard solutions. Negotiated contracts for and managed third party supplier for support and development of manufacturing systems. Coordinated development efforts and rollout of new functionality based on business needs.

Böblingen, Germany

•Reduced lead-time of software media by 3 days through collaborative work with suppliers to prequalify silkscreen color quality.•Led material cost reduction project resulting in 10% average savings on targeted materials.

Corvallis, Oregon

Responsible for outgoing quality assurance inspection processes in silicon wafer fab. Developed methods for minimizing inspection and downstream scrap costs. Analyzed implementation costs and tool capabilities of four vendors for automated inspection tooling. Developed and implemented SPC and inspection plan for wet etch work-centers. Developed and oversaw third party quality assurance and inspection process qualification. Developed and initiated process for microscope recipe control and recovery.

Elk Grove, California

Assisted with the installation and implementation of three Printed Circuit Board production lines. Developed process documentation, including procedure flow charts and key inspection points. Assisted with documentation for ISO 9000 Certification. Designed fixture for testing and failure analyses of printed circuit boards.
