New Product Development design lead for the next generation of brewer technology

Washington, District Of Columbia, Us

- Engineering project leader for the Essence of Life program. Designing manual and solar powered irrigation technology for rural farmers in developing nations.- Successfully completed the development, design and testing of a human powered irrigation diaphragm pump that is priced appropriately for the target markets while maintaining quality, durability and a product life of over five years. Managed project from inception through product launch, involved in all aspects including design, field testing and writing user product manual.- Traveled to rural villages outside five major cities in India to gather feedback, data and design improvements from over thirty voice of customer (VoC) early field units.- Invented and prototyped a portable, solar-powered submersible water pump.- Lead innovation brainstorming sessions with over forty participants to generate creative ideas on key projects.

Cincinnati, Oh, Us

- Key member of an integrated team of systems and component engineers working with Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) materials, the latest high-pressure turbine technology, on the new GE commercial engines LEAPx and TECHx.

Cincinnati, Oh, Us

- Team leader; prioritized workload and resources for team of 10 engineers, analysts and drafters.- Managed a $3.5M engineering budget through the earned value management (EVM) system.- Using original, patent-pending design, created the GE38 gas generator turbine shroud support, an important high-pressure turbine component that has a key role in the performance of the engine.- Designed the combustor case, a pressure vessel and major structural component, in the hot section of the GE38 turboshaft engine.- Implemented two cost reduction projects; saving over $235k for the GE38 development program.- Ensured that the development of GE38 parts would be on time, and within budget, by generating and transmitting numerous coordination memos to vendors.- Traveled to, and worked on-site with, multiple vendors to coordinate the manufacturing of the turbine shroud support, building and optimizing their development/production processes.
