Professional Experience

Delphi Electronics and Safety – Vandalia, Ohio 1999 - 2009

Rapid Design Service – Dayton, Ohio 1994 - 1998

Test Development Engineer (8/08-12/09); Project Engineer (1/04-7/08); Quality Engineer (05/01-12/03);

Engineering Test Coordinator (10/94-04/01)

Select responsibilities and achievements:

Project Engineering:

• Led the full lifecycle development of airbag and steering wheel designs into new vehicle platforms

• Directed all aspects of high-volume programs including the design, manufacturing, cost, timing, customer

approvals/issues, PPAP (Production Part Approval Process), pre and post production issues, and material cost

savings initiatives

• Improved the quality, reliability, and safety of products/processes by conducting FMEAs (Failure Mode and

Effects Analysis) and PFMEAs (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)

• Prepared and presented formal design reviews to management, customers, and peers

• Managed engineering change requests, drawings, new business quotes, bill of materials, prototype builds, and

validation testing to meet customer requirements

• Supported program management to confirm all customer requirements were met or exceeded

• Collaborated successfully with all facets of the organization including manufacturing, purchasing, finance,

sales, and supplier quality

• Achieved recognition as the resident expert in steering wheel and driver airbag Noise/Vibration/Harshness

analysis

• Provided ongoing/onsite engineering support for new product/process launches, the airbag manufacturing

plant, and customer vehicle assembly plants

• Received Six Sigma Green Belt certification for eliminating a surface fit issue between the driver airbag and

steering wheel

• Awarded honorary recognition for becoming a leader in the Engineering Change Management Process

Test and R&D Engineering:

• Led the vehicle crash test laboratory as the frontal and side impact sled crash test engineer

• Analyzed customer full-scale vehicle crash data and developed test methods to replicate crashes in the

laboratory

• Utilized test methods to develop safety products which mitigated occupant injury

Scott Lambdin Resume (Pg 1)

• Developed expertise with data acquisition, instrumentation, high speed imaging, crash test dummies, SAE

and FMVSS government specifications, and impact test equipment

• Performed hands-on repair of test equipment including troubleshooting, analysis, preventative

maintenance, and continuous improvement

• Created and developed test plans to validate vehicle safety systems for compliance to Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standards

• Supervised test technicians and skilled trades – conducted interviews, performance reviews, and

scheduled daily testing

• Managed durability testing per ASTM standards – accelerated exposure, environmental conditioning,

material fatigue, and tension/compression

• Designed a test fixture to simulate out-of-position occupant airbag interaction saving Delphi $750,000 in

external test costs

• Developed Side Impact test method to evaluate occupant Head Injury Criteria and implemented side

impact airbag design which reduced Head Injury Criteria by 95%

Quality Engineering:

• Managed the test laboratory quality system which included 9 test areas, 21 test technicians, and 8 test

engineers

• Successfully transitioned the test laboratory from ISO Guide 25 to ISO 17025/16949

• Led and earned laboratory quality certification to ISO 17025/16949 through the American Association for

Laboratory Accreditation

• Conducted quality audits and resolved findings by implementing the ‘5-why’ problem-solving method to

identify and determine root causes

• Directed the implementation of corrective actions based on root cause identification to permanently

eliminate laboratory errors

• Improved laboratory quality and efficiency from 82% to 98% by applying lean manufacturing methods to

procedures and processes

• Wrote lab manual, test specifications, and step-by-step work procedures

• Led $1.3 million project acquisition of new high speed digital imagers used to capture crash tests
