Employment:
Manufacturing Engineer, Electro-Mechanical and Fiber Optic Products,
Cortland Cable Company, Cortland, NY, March, 2000 to March, 2009
Cortland Cable Company is part of the Cortland Companies/Actuant Corp.
(ATU) and is an ISO 9001 manufacturer of highly engineered, high
performance synthetic ropes and electro-mechanical cables.
. Responsible for the efficient manufacturing of custom
engineered, complex electro-mechanical/optical cables.
. Duties included: equipment scheduling, supervision of production
employees,
completion of setups, electrical testing with various pieces of test
equipment, quality control, development of new processes and
manufacturing techniques to meet ever changing market needs.
. Scheduling in this production position, with typically
$5,000,000 of open orders on the current job list, requires the
coordination of over 20 pieces of equipment in six different process
areas to coordinate 500-600 process events.
. Responsible for the fabrication of $1,000,000 worth of new
equipment. Fabrication included testing the equipment, developing
operational procedures, creating ISO work instructions, training
operators and bringing the equipment on stream for production needs.
. Constructed the prototypes of numerous new products, starting
from design concepts, modified the equipment as needed and generated
workflow procedures.
. Developed manufacturing techniques for part of the torpedo
launch system for a $1,000,000/year U.S. Navy contract. This project
required the development of efficient workflow, the design and
building of new pieces of equipment and the creation of new processes
and methods that had never been used previously at Cortland Cable
Company. The resulting process cut in half the number of
manufacturing steps previously needed to construct the product.
