• Developed and improved various tests including acceptance criteria for tests such as nanoindentation for coating hardness, paint adhesion/RCA abrasion, perspiration, wire scrape, headphone hinge torque, gooseneck flex.
• Developed acceleration factors based on experimental data for wire scrape, cable flex, perspiration as well as theoretical estimations for environmental testing (Arrhenius, Coffin-Manson, Hallberg-Peck, inverse power.
• Ran baseline and experimental testing with Weibull analysis and wrote extensive reports.
• Researched and acquired approximately $2M in capital equipment including nanoindentation, dust, cyclic corrosion, drop, torque measurement, button actuation, CT scanner and IPX capabilities.
• Managed, trained, and assigned tasks for up to 8 lab technicians. Managed and directed 4 interns. Mentored/trained CQE in test plan development, statistical analysis and problem solving, and assisted with APQP.
• Implemented Shocklog to identify actual temperature/humidity/impact events products endured during shipment. Implemented chamber monitoring/logging system which alerts the team when chambers are malfunctioning.

• Led team in investigating and identifying customer concerns, providing design improvements for windnoise and powertrain manufacturing variability issues and error states on Freestyle/Five Hundred/ Montego.
• Through 30+ projects a year, achieved a 37% improvement to customer satisfaction and achieved JD Powers Best in Class Windnoise for Freestyle 2 Award 2 years in a row.
• Identified and contained issues in-plant to resolve concerns immediately before shipping vehicles, developed measurables and error proofing to eliminate repeat concerns such as the NVH Objective Measurement Analysis.
• Certified Ford Six Sigma Blackbelt completing projects such as: Replaced damping pads with bulk material for $310K yearly savings with identical performance; heightened awareness of transponders reducing loss by 93%.
• Oversaw cost reductions without quality loss, reducing in-plant rework, as well as interim support for Water Leaks and Ride & Handling.
