Senior engineer in the Systems group, specializing in bringing processes from concept to automation in mass-production-ready, with particular focus in decreasing cycle time and energy usage through focused energy applications- Bring automation expertise and insight to the group- Analyze production cost and cycle time to maximize throughput of product through the system- Pinpoint where decreases in cycle time are possible through new technology, in some cases decreasing time by as much as 98% and energy usage by 99%+- Bring technology along from “blue sky” R&D to deployed at contract manufacturer site- Source equipment from new vendors to test in custom-designed temporary environment- Document research and decide on best path forward as it becomes clear while maintaining multiple parallel options- Research into new and creative ways to solve customer issues as they arose, while considering the product volume, size, and deadline- Brainstorm ideas for improvement of existing process to allow it to scale to mass production easier- Consult on composite design for automated manufacturing to decrease system complexity in mass production

Manage full product life-cycle, from concepting in CAD to supporting 10+ year old parts in the fieldLead multi-disciplinary team from design to on-site installation, and beyondDesign parts to fit multiple constraints, such as cost, space, ease of manufacture, strength, backwards compatibility, weight, and moreUtilize rapid prototyping and quick-turn manufacturing to bring designs from concept to reality to production on short timelinesHands-on assembly, testing, and iteration to learn from design mistakes, and find room for continuous incremental improvementsCustomize existing designs and products to fit customers' specific needs in an effort to deliver the best product for that particular customerRetrofit designs in the field as customer needs change, managing a team of 8 people at the customer site to complete effort over several months to reduce apparent cost of raw material by 10% and increase production rates by reducing downtimeDevelop software solutions to issues that crop up with no easy mechanical solutions, while considering site-specific needs and cross-customer compatibilityCritical and root cause analysis to quickly solve problems as they arise, developing multi-angled approaches to solve issues, when not solvable solely in hardware or softwareConduct research studies into new material developments in conjunction with material suppliersServe as lead support engineer for major customers, interfacing with on-site management and production to resolve outstanding issues and maintain quality equipmentCreate training and work instructions for machine operators to ensure product cleanliness, smooth operation, and regular maintenanceTravel to customer sites domestically and abroad to interface with customers, support products, and provide machine programming trainingPerform rate studies for proposals to determine production feasibility within pre-determined timescales

Greater Seattle Area

• Worked with clients to develop small scale automation for existing processes• Extensive work with SolidWorks, Arduino programming and machining parts

San Jose, Ca

• Designed and drafted HVAC systems for a premier design/build contractor in the Bay Area, servicing companies in small offices to high-power tech companies with specific design standards.• HVAC & Hydronic system sizing and design.• HVAC drafting utilizing AutoCAD 2010 and above.• Verified LEED calculations for over 10 commercial buildings in Silicon Valley• Modeled in AutoCAD extensively under hard deadlines with constantly changing parameters, both from the client and from the architects, as well as other sources• Improved existing systems with a Microsoft Excel VBA macro that cut down the number of times data needed to be entered from three to one, also creating a dependency on each other, eliminating the need to cross-check several sheets against each other
