Designed and built multi-functional test fixtures that verified the proper assemblage and functionality of harnesses.Ran the prototype harness production, which included harness board drawing creation from customer documentation, developing a 'cut list' with strip length, crimp height specifications and wire lengths. Built the harness board and assembled.

Reduced process time for production stage significantly and increased accuracy of results. Wrote the business case and co-implemented a new 'pre-discharge process, a product qualifing stage.Incorporated new customer requirements into existing core product lines. Interfaced with the customer engineering departments and procurement.Executed product drwing.

Played crucial role in successful relocation of operation from US to Germany. Reverse engineered many tools that had no drawings. Created CAD drawing, documented, built, gained approval and shipped tools.Interfaced with vendors, electrical manufacturing engineers and German engineering.

Physically moved and installed plant. Included bulding layout, work flow design, vendor sourcing for well over half of the parts and subassemblies, purchase and installation of equipment, MRP system, development of shipping stategies, desin of shipping containers, physical move and installation of plant.Co-facilitated the entry into re-manufacturing of.

Expedited approval process by procuring proto-type parts for verification testing and early production parts for implementation into the build line. Closely interfaced with the vendors of these parts. This insured that the production line was shut down just days instead of weeks.Managed the development and production of a 12 element zoom lens assembly.
