Leads the manufacture and production of smart dynamic solar and battery storage solutions by developing and sustaining relationships with Contract Manufactures to meet production goals and cost targets.• On-boarding new CMs for the production of complex industrial battery storage inverter, giving Apparent expanded capability to accept new contracts with governmental agencies spearheading climate change prevention initiatives• Reestablish and maintain working relationships with overseas manufacturers for cost effective production of non-critical mechanical components• Apply process control and KPI methodologies to CMs for increased production capability and reduced fallout.• Perform BOM risk analysis, developing strategies to prevent production slow down and assist engineering in component selection for new designs.

Lead strategic operations and guided daily team production manufacturing instruments that precisely measure fluid flow for variety of industrial customers, including automotive, aerospace, and hydraulic manufacturers • Oversaw end-to-end operations of manufacturing, including production, shipping/receiving, vendor management and inventory control, and kept sales department apprised of supply chain issues and other important developments to ensure they were knowledgeable about new products, product developments and product timeline constraints• Mitigated supply chain risks to allow continued support for increased customer demand despite increasing supplier lead times and material scarcity. This was achieved by analyzing safety stocks, improved data modeling, and vendor negotiations.• Developed, implemented, and managed complex projects, adjusting workflows and production processes for more efficient production with lower operating costs a) Headed CloudSuite ERP project that enabled company to upgrade to critical new software, transition to paperless record-keeping, and make vital technical information available to assembly workers and engineers in real time b) Integrated select functions of various departments, resulting in cohesive workflow compliant to ISO 9001:2015 standards, resulting in decrease of waste and redundancies that provided 20% increase in production throughputc) Restructured inventory storage to reduce inventory errors and increase picking efficiencies.d) Revamped quality control and testing processes, resulting in 33% improvement in throughput e) Developed and introduced formalized product realization/change management/data entry processes, enabling engineers to input technical information into easily accessible database that enables seamless hand-offs to manufacturing department

Designed and built fully automated test systems traceable to NIST for product verification and calibration• Designed fully automated test systems traceable to NIST for product verification and calibration. Flow rates ranged from 0.05 mL/min to 1400 L/min with measurement uncertainties better than 0.181%. • Designed and wrote complete software packages for test systems with data collection using LabView, Java, C/C++ languages.• Restructured internal databases used to store all product test data and records communicated both internally and to customers. Modifications required new form creation, improved user interface, an improved record search, and auto report generation minimizing human error.• Redesigned Calibration Certificates provided to customers to look more professional and meet ANSI Z540 and ISO 17025 standards.

• Worked as an independent contractor providing carpentry and welding services• Involved in the complete life-cycle of the set from conception to load-out.• Engineered intermediate structural elements working form finished drawings.
