CAREER HIGHLIGHTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Managed and staffed mechanical development organization responsible for

multiple system development projects. Coached mechanical design teams to

maximize utilization of common architectures, component standardization,

and design for manufacturing principles. Results: Achieved project budgets,

award of new business for next generation product developments resulting in

profit of $40M and customer recognition for development capabilities.

Spearhead and collaborated development and funding for four mechanical

systems that supported improved customer specifications, product design

robustness, integrity and compliance to requirements. Results: Avoided

quality charge backs up to $1M per project due to improved customer

specifications based on capabilities to quantify and verify customer

requirements. In addition the labs reduced the required resource level by

20% for requirements verification.

Introduced new product design concepts to major OEM's at technology fairs

to develop opportunities for new business. Developed and presented first 6-

CD player radio packaging design and first surface concept. Results:

Received business award for development of next generation audio product

that incorporated a 6 CD changer player worth $12M in sales.

Supported and collaborated with customer design studios and engineering

groups on next generation product families ensuring feasibility and

capability with available technologies to achieve the desired results in

the market. Past process identified dissatisfaction due to not achieving

desired results for function, appearance, cost and quality. Results:

Launched two (2) product family designs that exceeded the customer's

requirements and expectations for customer satisfaction, quality and cost.

Managed and coached development team in incorporating cost improvements for

a product family to overcome loss of sales due to non competitive position

in the market. Generated cost improvement proposals to the customer for

review and approval. Results: Approved proposals for product re-designs

resulted in a product material savings of $9.00 per unit and an annual

savings of $4.5 M.
