Managed Global Engineering team of 60 engineers/supervisors to deliver low pressure fuel system components and systems for use in unibody vehicles for vehicle programs and FIE systems for powertrains. Developed systems to local regulaEons and global internal requirements with Systems Engineering approach. Department was responsible for products from iniEal concept to beyond end of life.Significant Accomplishments:Met all financial and funcEonal program targets for vehicles from B-Car to global Transit. Launched multiple products across the globe, including a single program in 4 countries, on time with no gating issues.Reduced North American Fuel System warranty by 5% each year; solved component issues with suppliers and some major system problems.Implemented $2 million in cost reductions year-over-year in North America and $700K in Europe.Led effort to reduce internal design requirement bureaucracy. Streamlined Design Rules, Design Specification and Testing Requirements by 15% to eliminate wasted time without sacrificing quality of design sign-off.Headed committee to oversee development of High Potential Engineers in Powertrain. Created plans with selected individuals to help them prepare for promotion. Mentored several first level managers and engineers to prepare them for advancement.Transferred engineering responsibility for European Fuel Systems from Germany to United Kingdom. Identified new team members and skills required. Developed Training matrix and design review schedule to improve knowledge and team function. EU team became fully functioning design and release activity.

Managed 52 varying experienced engineers in a new organization in Ford of Mexico to deliver Fuel, Exhaust, Cooling, Engine Mounting systems for Ford vehicles. Significant Accomplishments:Created and delivered first Range Extension System in Ford for baaery electric Transit, resulEng in 0 field issues. Developed Range Extending System requirement for future programs.By developing training program for engineers to accelerate capabilities, organization increased role from supporting to leading programs.Pioneered first Ford internal AIS snorkel system for SuperDuty as a service item. Designed from scratch, developed all quality documents (DFMEA, Boundary Diagrams, etc) and created all internal design requirements for next program.Led CAE team to develop new processes and analysis to provide virtual sign off capabiliEes, with one project winning the Henry Ford Technology Award for most significant technical accomplishment for that year.Delivered many systems (fuel, cooling, exhaust, AIS and mounts) meeting functional and cost program targets on multiple programs; delivered NA Fiesta ST in 9 months utilizing components from proven systems and resulting in no field issues.Oversaw North American problem suppliers from an engineering view. Developed robust production solutions for significant quality/warranty issues. Added enhancements to PFMA and Control Plans for long term quality.

Led a team of 7 engineers developing advanced systems and technology for compliance to emissions regulations globally (present and future). Worked collaboratively across organizations, (purchasing, research, calibration) to ensure function and program deliverables would be met. Significant Accomplishments:Developed first Non-Integrated Refueling Canister Only System (NIRCOS) inside Ford. Reviewed regulations, developed concepts, reviewed with upper management to agree on approach. Developed system and components through use of systems engineering fundamentals including writing new test and design criteria. Launched all hardware and system with no significant field issue on new items. Worked in concert with suppliers to assure components met system needs and no production issues. Boundary Diagrams, DFMEA and other documents were developed to mitigate potential issues and deliver a quality system and hardware.Developed second generation of NIRCOS system to reduce cost NIRCOS system to reduce cost by $68 per units and simplify hardware. This system is in production on 500K vehicles annually with no significant hardware or system issues.Created unique purge system for trucks, improving overall purge flow by 20%, with minimal changes to existing hardware, supporting vehicle certification and maintaining cost.Developed Hybrid systems OBD leak check monitor with supplier; system is robust to noise factors, has no warranty in field, and has been in production since 2012CY with minimal field issues.Resolved massive warranty affecting all hybrid vehicles issue using DMAIC. The measure illustrated a supplier quality issue and a software issue. After incorporation a 7-fold reduction in warranty claims was realized.Completed all new system analysis using Boundary Diagram, Functional Block Diagram; Parameter Diagram, Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Verification & Validation Processes

Implemented multiple ideas to reduce cost in the powertrain of Ford Taurus and Freestyle. Implemented design changes, process changes and content changes. These opportunities reduces the cost of a powertrain by over $265 per unit to a target much lower. Managed two subordinates and worked with Chicago Assembly Plant and supply base to achieve the task.
