Lead design engineer for custom robotic cell projects and providing guidance to other team members.• Led project with new customer that included better than quoted performance and secured sale of second cell layout with much more profit potential.• Developed customer solution that was adjustable without tool to cope with wide range of process components. Resulted in second cell sold to customer within year using same components saving cost.• Utilized Roboguide to validate cell design WRT cycle time and reach study prior to manufacture.• Worked within Inventor VBA to create custom macros and Content Center libraries to greatly increase team design efficiency.• Facilitated improvements in company standards definitions, documentation, and process efficiencies.• Assisted in defining a new documentation process and format to present a more cohesive package to customer and reduce workload on internal resources.• Studied and developed knowledge of industry and tools to become as effective as possible prior to start.CAD Administrator leading transition from Inventor to SolidWorks and implementation of multi-site PDM system.• Defined processes for engineering team to convert models from Inventor to SolidWorks including tools that automatically bring across meta data in an effort to reduce errors.• Provided training, guidance, and customized manuals for CAD users to increase efficiency and utilization.• Worked closely with VAR to solve technical issues and push timeline for migration to SolidWorks.• Took IT role to repair software including registry edits, troubleshooting, and system recovery.• Implemented customized PDM workflows to guide and track designs and design changes.• Redefined templates to ensure consistency within company across multiple sites with growth in mind.• Implemented ToolBox including customization for preferred standard fasteners and non-standard offerings

Manage all Amiad USA pilot systems including pricing, contract, product selection, opportunity validations, and logistics.• Evaluated pilot program, made updates in pricing and packaging to ensure profit while providing customer requests.

Facilitating the adoption of a new product and technology into the Amiad family by leading knowledge transfer as skid expert. • Updated all engineering and sales product documentation to reflect Amiad company branding and standards.• Created new software package updating controls and branding for all existing products in inventory and in the field.• Finalized product redesign to reduce cost and better match with Amiad manufacturing practices.• Provide complete field support to sales and service to meet customer needs while Amiad persons are trained.

Responsible for all aspects of the skid product line. • Developed next generation skid designed more robust and flexible than original concept. Remains cost neutral while meeting CE requirements and reducing footprint by 50%.• Designed a single control panel applicable to all skids that met all foreseeable regulations and greatly expanded the functionality of the skid control system.• Fully defined the next generation software control system and generated a top-level description document to all software to be developed in any native PLC family.• Created add-on kit for the original skid design to expand into Food & Beverage with a clean-in-place cycle allowing filters to run in high Fats, Oils and Greases (FOG) continuously.• Supported customer needs by eliminating sensor fouling and automating the air bleed process.• Identified and solved multiple control system issues with a customer’s custom-built skids by deploying a continuous data acquisition system with remote access. Supplied a concise report for the customer.• Documented original skid design to ensure production remained constant across vendors.

Team member in a reactive environment to troubleshoot and resolve issues under significant time constraints. • Expanded Menlo Park testing area by sourcing a cost-effective overhang for weather protection and planned the skid testing layout.• Designed and performed rejection and life cycle testing for new filter designs.• Worked with sales team to provide significant field support by running multiple pilots and developing systems for specific piloting needs such as chemical mixing skids.• Designed and built multiple pilot units to support sales and allow more pilots to be run. • Generated instruction manuals for skid manufacture that removed the need for additional engineering input during the building process.

Lead Design and Manufacturing Engineer• Redesigned suspension components with a focus on manufacturability and cost reduction.• Generated detailed manufacturing instructions to facilitate manufacturing of the products with minimal errors.• Designed and assembled trade show displays to help showcase the full product line including suspension and bodywork.• Ran trade show booth engaging customers and explaining products in order to close sales.
