Professional Experience

2006 - 2010 Renk Labeco Test Systems Corp. Mooresville, IN

Mechanical Engineer / Program Manager / Sales Engineer

. Negotiated and awarded a $35 million contract with Clemson University

to build test equipment for a large wind turbine drive train test

facility in Charleston, SC.

. Designed and installed a tank transmission test stand for China North

Vehicle Research Institute (NOVERI) in Beijing, China to be used for

gear development.

. Obtained a 28% reduction in manufacturing costs for the tank

transmission test stand through negotiations with vendors.

. Designed, developed, and implemented a main transmission test stand

for The Boeing Company to aid in gear development for the Apache

helicopter (RDS21 / Block III)

1997 - 2006 ArvinMeritor Columbus, IN

Test Facility Manager

. Developed a program with the assistance of the IT department to

expedite and increase quality of the testing performed in the hot

durability laboratory.

. Increased the throughput in the laboratory approximately 20% by

implementing a preventative maintenance schedule for all equipment and

scheduling the test cells more efficiently.

. Integrated TS/ISO-16949 into the existing QS-9000 quality system.

. Instituted cross-functional training of all personnel, improved

communication with engineering departments to create better test

methodology, implemented test plan development and cost reduction

initiatives.

Sr. Product Design Engineer

. Designed exhaust systems for DaimlerChrysler now used in over

1,000,000 automobiles throughout the world.

. Collaborated with DaimlerChrysler engineers to improve performance,

eliminate noise, increase durability, and reduce manufacturing costs

of the Jeep Liberty exhaust system. We were able to reduce emissions

by 15% while increasing horsepower by 35%. Durability was increased by

over 45% due to improved testing methods that allowed for design

modifications to the support structures of the automobile. Estimated

cost savings to DaimlerChrysler exceeded $2,000,000.

Process Engineer

. Designed a new production line layout that reduced the number of

operators required to produce GM truck exhaust systems. Annual cost

savings exceeded $100,000.

. Increased the quality of catalytic converters by assisting in the

development of new manufacturing methods.

. Designed a rotary weld fixture that allowed multiple exhaust systems

to be produced on fewer pieces of equipment. Cost savings exceeded

$120,000 and equipment was reallocated to new production lines which

eliminated the need to purchase new equipment.

1996-1997 Ertel Manufacturing Corp. Indianapolis, IN

1989-1995

Plant Engineer

. Designed permanent molds for casting aluminum pistons.

. Designed tooling, jigs, and fixtures for machining purposes.

. Analyzed SPC data to determine mold modifications.

. Developed gages for quality assurance testing.

. Designed and implemented quality assurance charts.

. Supervised engineering and quality assurance technicians.

1995-1996 Rolls Royce (Allison Engine Co.) Indianapolis, IN

Manufacturing Engineer

. Developed processes for investment casting aerospace components.

. Improved process documentation for ISO-9000.

. Created process and tooling for airflow testing of turbine vanes and

blades.
