SUMMARY

MULTI-DISCIPLINARY PROJECT MANUFACTURING/MECHANICAL ENGINEER/SCIENTIST

MANAGER

Seeking further Research and Development, Manufacturing, Mechanical Project

engineering and/or, product engineering systems leadership opportunities

for overall operations, concept design, research, systems, process

improvement, stress analysis, risk mitigation and advanced material

application including heat treatments and plating, for new and existing

systems and consumer products, while incorporating design for

manufacturing, robust design, rapid prototyping and optimization techniques

to reduce cost. Fully competent engineer in cutting edge technology for

multiple disciplines of engineering. Has conducted independent evaluations

of systems and selected and adapted solutions from present and future

technology using standard methods of comparison. Has developed new

approaches to complex problems that consider eco-impact, human factors and

cost.

Engineering systems examined, have included solar and wind generation, Li-

ion and Li-poly battery energy storage, Charge methods and equipment,

Hybrid electric vehicle systems and modeling. Experienced in managing teams

in private large and small business environments. Thirteen years

engineering experience specializing in mechanical and manufacturing design,

problem solving, facilitating and motivating others while designing,

implementing and developing proof-of-concept projects for a research and

the real life environment. Manufacturing experience includes job shop and

repetitive manufacturing of machined components, which includes, large and

small weldments to specific requirements, military design, build, testing

and verification of components and weapons systems, while building long-

term business development relationships with customers and staff. Hold a

current DOD Secret Security Clearance.
