PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

CHRYSLER LLC, Auburn Hills, MI 1983 - 2008

Senior Engineer, Core Body Electrical 2003 – 2008

Oversaw design and development of core body components. Directed three engineers. Launched first corporate

rearview camera on numerous vehicles in 2007 model year. Component specification, mounting and packaging.

Analyzed warranty data identifying assembly plant/wiring issues and radio/display screen issues affecting system

performance in the field. Sourced and launched second generation rearview camera with increased image clarity and

reduced optical distortion for the 2009 model year. Reduced mass by 50%, size by 40% and cost by 25%. Oversaw

design/development of integrated dome lamp/intrusion module from sourcing to launch in 11 months including first

surface appearance.

Program Manager, Core Powertrain Electronics 2001 – 2003

Initiated process between Core Powertrain Electronics, platform representatives and module suppliers involved with

development of the next generation of engine/transmission controllers to foster communication and proper

understanding of development status. Included software assurance planning, hardware issues, module supply

coordination and product strategy team meetings. Maintained master timing documents. Aided the resolution of

issues as they arose and promoted agreement on change between all involved. Developed CDS timing proposals as

a foundation for generic development and operating plans between core powertrain electrical, powertrain systems

development and engine development.

Senior Engineer, Jeep Passive Restraint Electrical/Electronics 1993 – 2001

Oversaw all aspects of restraint electronics and associated electrical system for the Jeep vehicle line. Directed four

project engineers. Led product development for ECUs used on truck and small car line.
