•Maintained budgetary control and lead multi-disciplinary design teams throughout development of twenty-two projects with annual revenues of $0.47M to $8.80M per year.•Provide the technical link between customer and Bose manufacturing. Managed communication across the product team and kept Bose management informed of project status monthly. •Created prototype and production parts with injection molding, CNC machining, die stamping, die casting and 3D printing. •Lead DFMEA development using Boundary-Diagrams with Interface-Matrix, create P-Diagrams, and review customer specifications for initial 3D geometry of new products.•Lead teams of product development through initial 3D design, manufacture CAE, FEA, drawing release and PV testing. •Perform linear-static FEA simulations with NX Simcenter. Use energy density to optimize structures.•Create & present DVP&R test plans to customers. Perform DRBTR reviews.•Performed tolerance analysis / “stack studies” supporting General Motors product manufacturing with 250K/year volume.•GD&T: Create part & wire drawings per ASME Y14.5-2009. Provide subject-matter-expert (SME) guidance to subordinates. •Identified cost reductions of $122K/yr with Green Belt (DMAIC) problem solving tools on foam seals used in internal Bose manufacturing and speaker adhesive applications at JDM suppliers. Both projects increased quality for customer. •Use visual monitoring systems (RYG) to track project issues. Use MS-Excel with Red, Yellow or Green. •Directed, guided, and monitored $179K Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) research project. Project to test and analyze the feasibility of new Fresh Air Speakers (FAS) technology for General Motors.•Inventor US Patent 10,220,553 “Method of Making an Item and Item”; welding plastic parts within the injection mold press.•Injection molding design and tooling•Die-Stamp & Die-cast design and tooling •Lean Six Sigma (DIMAC) & (DFSS) •Tolerance Studies RSS & Monte Carlo
