Specialization in Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATD's), Occupant Safety

Research, Vehicle Crashworthiness, Safety Testing, Technical Writing,

and Laboratory Management.

SUMMARY Built and managed a $5M dollar state-of-the-art laboratory

OF operation.

QUALIFICATIONS: 20+ years of laboratory management and project coordination

experience.

Corporate technical expert in design, development and usage of

Anthropomorphic

Test Devices (ATD's).

Excellent Biomechanical and safety engineering skills.

Strong knowledge of domestic, international, and consumer occupant

crash protection standards.

Co-authored numerous professional technical publications (see

Addendum).

Experience with Altair Hypergraph, ATD Lab software, MS Office, &

Windows XP.

Education & Purdue University - West Lafayette, IN

Training: Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE)

Minor in Biomedical Engineering

Training:

Project Management (PMP) at Walsh College

Altair Engineering computer modeling and FEA classes

MADYMO Introductory class

WORK DaimlerChrysler Corporation/Chrysler LLC

EXPERIENCE: 05/84 - 11/08

(Company changed names during employment due to acquisitions)

ATD Technical Specialist

03/05 - 11/08

Experimental and Computational Mechanics (ECM) Department

Auburn Hills Tech Center - Auburn Hills, MI

Responsibilities included: engineering project coordination and

data analysis related to ATD issues; coordination of special

project testing with Impact Test & Photo Imaging and Energy

Management/Development; and preparation of safety office and

regulatory agency related technical papers (Project examples noted

on Addendum).

Accomplishments:

Received corporate award for ATD head mechanical resonance

project.

Coordinated high profile project (SID-IIs) resulting in

development of side impact door structure and safety features for

future corporate vehicle designs (significant knowledge gained

regarding pelvic countermeasures between inflatable and

non-inflatable restraints).

WORK EXPERIENCE Test Assurance Engineer/ATD Lab Engineer/Technical Specialist

(continued): 05/84 - 02/05

Impact Test and Photo Imaging (ITPI) Department

Chelsea Proving Grounds - Chelsea, Michigan

Positions involved numerous duties of increasing responsibility,

joined the ITPI Department as Test Assurance Engineer, was promoted

to ATD Lab Engineer and then Technical Specialist. Managed the

operations of the Chelsea Proving Grounds Anthropomorphic Test

Device (ATD) Laboratory. Supervised the lab activities of several

engineers, including performance reviews. Coordinated the

preparation of ATD's to coincide with an aggressive full scale

barrier, HYGE sled, and component impact testing program. Evaluated

and processed ATD instrumentation (including accelerometers,

potentiometers, load cells, and data acquisition equipment) as

required for each specific test. Team leader for ATD Lab Special

Project activities. Performed post-test review to ensure occupant

data integrity.

Accomplishments:

Maintained and directed a $5M dollar lab hardware inventory.

ATD Lab achieved 100% compliance w/engineering product team release

deadlines with often intensive testing schedules.

Attained highest level promotion (Grade Band 93 Technical

Specialist) at Chelsea PG.

Insured that various product team engineering groups were receiving

100 percent verified occupant crash test data by which to make

critical vehicle engineering design decisions.

Synergized single and dual-shift lab & maintenance operations

(w/six technicians and two mechanics). This allowed testing

schedules to be maintained with minimal manpower.

Prepared annual ATD Lab capital projects (typically valued $300k -

$1.2M) & coordinated submission/review with engineering management

and finance.

Streamlined lab verification testing process of frontal, side, and

child impact test dummies by implementing lean process

improvements. Improved turn-around time yielded significant cost

savings of thousands of dollars per crash test.

Active participant in 12 Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE),

USCAR/Occupant Safety Research Partnership (OSRP), and

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) committees

providing Chrysler with an active voice and representation in the

design & development of new ATD's & safety systems (committees

outlined on Addendum).

Ensured that the lab stayed current with newly imposed regulatory

requirements and emerging state-of-the-art engineering

technologies.

Served as Chairperson for the Impact Standards Committee for 4

years. This committee was responsible for reviewing and

incorporating new testing requirements into the capabilities of the

department.
