General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products, Burlington VT

04/2001 - 07/2010 Senior Project Engineer, Mechanical (2003 - 2010):

Lead Project Engineer for major electromechanical subsystems of the state

of the art DDG-1000 Naval Destroyer Advanced Gun System (AGS). Led teams

of as many as four engineers and three design specialists through design

and manufacture of three large complicated electromechanical subsystems

simultaneously, totaling over $7M.

. Managed all project objectives, established performance requirements

and authored specifications, derived technical performance

measurements, performed project risk analysis, and managed mitigation

activities. Established project schedule and cost budgets, developed

staffing profiles, determined volume of work and expertise required.

o High efficiency consistently ensured on-time product deliveries 15%

or more below projected labor costs

. Interfaced directly with customer and subcontracted manufacturers to

ensure requirements compliance and resolution of manufacturing issues.

Responsible for all project decisions. Validated design modifications

to address manufacturer requests for producibility improvements.

Defined disposition and repair procedures for non-conformances.

o Ensured 100% performance compliance on all projects despite fluid

customer requirements and scope changes

. Authored Statements of Work and performed source selection and award

activities with multiple manufacturers, negotiated costs, and

established manufacturing milestones.

. Lead team and performed detailed design task for emerging technology

Automated Transfer System for Office of Naval Research Automated

Material Movement program.

o Completed entire preliminary design in just 3 months and under

budget despite challenging programmatic circumstances. Design

definition and capability exceeded customer expectations!

. Performed mechanical design engineering concurrent with the team

leadership role.

o Through innovative design improvements, reduced the manufacturing

cost of one subsystem by 40%, from over $1M to $600K and

manufacturing time by 20%.

. Hand-picked for Program Lead Engineer role providing engineering

leadership for the entire AGS program totaling over $50M. Provided

all program technical guidance and oversight of subsystem lead

engineers. Conducted customer cost/scope negotiations, and led $25M+

proposal development for next program phase. Focal point technical

liaison with customer, government DCMA representatives, and internal

management.

Mechanical Hardware Design Engineer, (2001 - 2003):

Developed innovative designs for US Army Crusader artillery, Comanche

gunship, and Naval Advanced Gun System ammunition handling systems. Tasks

include part and assembly CAD designs, material selections, manufacturing

methodology, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing analyses.

Performed CAD assembly mechanizations and computer kinematic analyses (PRO

Engineer Mechanism). Performed design calculations including structural

member sizing, design of complete drive systems, and limited computerized

Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Ensured all aspects of design Technical

Data Package conformed to Department of Defense regulations, company

development standards and industry practice. Performed system testing,

authored test plan, established test objectives, performed data collection

and analysis, as well as hands-on assembly, disassembly, and mechanical

troubleshooting of system and test equipment.
