technical specifications) for SUV front and rear axles on full-size

SUVs and secondary air systems on small cars resulting in suppliers

meeting production performance and quality standards.

. Completed SOR (statement of requirement) for front and rear axle

subsystems on full-size SUVs resulting in meeting quality, performance

and cost targets.

. Led technical reviews that resulted in the production release of the

front and rear axles for rear wheel drive trucks resulting in meeting

all quality, production, and cost targets.

. Defined and released math data model that allowed suppliers to develop

production tooling.

. Validated design using analytical tools including finite element

analyses, modal and virtual builds at component level, to ensure

quality requirements are achieved.

. Released component and subsystem parts into the production system that

met production, quality and timing requirements.

. Provide technical support to designers, marketing and sales

departments, suppliers, engineers and other team members throughout

the product development and implementation process.
