CAREER HISTORY
Woodward HRT
Pacoima, California
Senior Manufacturing Engineer
April 2009 - Present
Responsible for process optimization related to the manufacture of CNC-
machined aerospace-quality hydraulic controls. Data driven resolution of
chronic production rejections through the use of manufacturing process
generation, root cause analysis, and lean execution.
. Implemented electronic data collection to reduce dimensional rejects due
to inconsistent grinding oil temperature.
. Contributed to reduction in hydraulic piston rejects from 4 average
defects per part to 2 average defects per part through introduction of
SPC data collection and analysis.
. Implemented laser scanning-based technology in the analysis and
inspection of aerospace-quality profile tracings, castings, and forgings.
Superior Industries International, Inc.
Van Nuys, California
Senior Manufacturing Engineer
April 2002 - April 2009
Responsible for facility-wide continuous improvement of processes and
equipment critical to the manufacture of automotive components.
Identification and management of projects designed to optimize available
resources, decrease waste, and ensure regulatory compliance.
. Implemented and oversaw design and installation of 26 replacement casting
machines, a $4,000,000 program that increased productivity by 13%.
. Increased degating cell productivity by 29% through improved drill design
and optimized system programming.
. Redesigned pack line output conveyor using existing conveyor, ensuring
100% inspection of product before shipment.
. Designed and implemented heat treat quench reclamation system, reducing
maintenance-related downtime to zero and resulting in the conservation of
approximately 700 gallons of water per production hour.
. Assumed responsibility for facility RECLAIM emission calculation and
SCAQMD reporting after the departure of the Environmental Manager.
