An experienced engineer and leader.My main passions are three-fold:1. Systems Engineering (SE) - Drive SE rigor in my projects and organization. Mentor other engineers and managers on SE process and techniques. Grow my own SE capabilies, to facilitate the aforementioned.2. Integrating New Technologies into Products - Take new technologies (vital organs, systems, etc.) and incorporate them into existing product families, in a manner that maximizes performance, reliability, maintainability, and ease-of-assembly.3. STEM Advocacy - Engage youth with STEM, to provide awareness, education, hands-on learning, and practical experiences, so they can make well-informed decisions about their futures.Engineering foci: industrial (transportation) products; consumer products; systems architecting; system optimization; engineering financial modeling & analysis; lean design; engineering process improvementSpecialties: Mechanical Engineering; Systems Engineering; Project & Program Management; Business Analysis; Leading International Teams; New Technology Integration & Application; North American, Russian/CIS, and European Regions; Six Sigma (DMAIC & DFSS); Lean; 3PENTJWilliam Henry Gross, Jr.
