SUMMARY:

An experienced Manufacturing Engineer who has worked with many diverse

technologies and has successfully demonstrated the ability to adapt

portions of each technology to resolve technical problems, or reduce cost

of new products. My initial schooling was in electronics and industrial

control, which combined with my mechanical ability and managerial skills,

allows me to work comfortably in Manufacturing Engineering positions within

a wide range of products. Four of the last five companies that I have

worked for have grown and been acquired by other companies, and the fifth,

InterSense, is poised for buyout at this time.

Skilled in the release and support of commercial, military, and scientific

products using standard NPI, DFM, DFT procedures, mechanical design and

fabrication, product quality improvements, cost reductions, mechanical

inspection, vendor selection, vendor quality support, customer support,

production training, equipment selection and justification, process

documentation, root cause failure analysis, product modifications to

increase functionality, product reliability testing, and agency

certification testing, contributing to corporate growth.

Experienced in PCB fabrication, SMT PCB assembly, flex and rigid-flex

circuits, board build, box build and rack build products, BOM structures,

MRP systems, precision machining, sheet metal fabrication, soft and hard

tooling for plastics, prototype SLA's, investment casting, dip brazing,

maintenance of precision automated production equipment, detailed assembly

and rework instructions, wet and dry vapor deposition, vendor evaluation

and selection, vendor quality management, Microsoft Office Suite, fixture

design and fabrication, cost reductions, facilities layout, fit up, moves,

and SolidWorks.
