- Develop statements of work (SOW) and quotes for machine design projects.- Concept and design machine components using Unigraphics/NX5 CAD software.- Prepare bills of materials.- Coordinate efforts with other engineers.

Led machine design projects of various sizes for in-house manufacturing.• Designed common assembly cell for $2,000,000+ project for battery pack assembly. (2008)• Developed a custom screw driving station that combined two machines into one for an approximate cost savings of $200,000. (2007)• Designed and debugged standard assembly platform for $1,000,000+ assembly line for accessory power module. Coordinated design efforts of other engineers. (2006)• Developed and designed Standard Edge Belt Conveyor System resulting in Delphi Delco Electronics Defensive Publication no. 445090 (May 10, 2001). Conveyor system used on variety of in-house machines and in-use today.

• Effectively utilized outside design of 10,000 hours resulting in outstanding improvement in project cycle time. Employed 11 designers at 4 different outside companies. Supervisor stated, “Ron is the best example of mechanical equipment designers using outside resources to accomplish multiple projects.” (2000 Performance Review)• Developed several standard assembly and process building blocks such as a heated buffer, conveyor, and monitor layout. (1999)• Functioned as lead engineer on major pressure sensor programs involving lasers, vacuum and high temperature challenges. (1995, 1999)• Performed an extensive competitive analysis between two vendors’ products resulting in one vendor completely redesigning their product line to be more competitive. (1994)

• Compiled plant-wide supplier quality manual significantly contributing to Delco’s retention of a major customer. (1988)• Established inspection audit area in Mexico for Delphi mechanical air control products. Spent time training Mexican workers on product inspection and techniques. (1988)• Implemented Statistical Process Controls in assembly department.
