ENGINEERING LAB SUPERVISOR 2008 - 2014o Manage and oversee all aspects of the engineering lab including scheduling work flow for nine Electronic Technicians to best utilize equipment, meet project dates and support 40 design engineers. The department has been managed within budget every year.o Identify and procure specialized capital equipment capable of performing ANSI C12.1, ANSI C12.20, IEC 62052-11, IEC 62053-22, industry and customer required tests for new product design. Equipment purchases in the past 5 years exceed $500k.o Shortened new product validation test time through efficiencies gained by automation, scheduling, and equipment utilization resulting in 27 new products released in one year. o Assure the lab maintains ISO 9001:2008 quality compliance. This includes maintaining documents related to industry standards, customer standards, equipment manuals, lab procedures, parts inventory, training records, as well as participating in customer and internal audits.o Perform electronic debug analysis on customer product returns, test failures and new product breadboards down to the component level. o Build custom Functional test equipment to engineering specifications for use at our Contract Manufacturers.o Routinely provide engineering analysis on quality related issues to minimize the impact to high volume production or customer related product issues.o Provide performance related metrics and feedback to senior management on a regular basis.
