dedication will make a valuable contribution to product quality, manufacturing productivity,

operating cost savings, and customer satisfaction.

Strengths Exemplary record of contribution to manufacturing excellence within a world-class organization.

Comprehensive experience in developing specifications for molds and manufacturing equipment to

produce quality components; creating process documents to establish manufacturing processes;

providing engineering support and troubleshooting directly to the manufacturing floor; and

working in a clean room environment.

Experienced in program management, including capital cost quotation, funding requests, capital

forecasting and budget management, process and equipment design, equipment and tool approval

and installation, and manufacturing startup.

Highly effective at using statistical analysis to implement continuous improvement.

Skill set highly transferable to a wide variety of products and manufacturing processes.

Excellent relationship-building and teamwork skills. Strong work ethic.

Key Delphi Corporation / Powertrain Division - Rochester, New York

Experience Held a series of increasingly responsible positions within Delphi Corporation and its predecessors,

AC Rochester Division of General Motors and Rochester Products Division of General Motors, all

leading manufacturers of components for the global automotive industry.

Senior Manufacturing Engineer 2006 - 2009

Provide manufacturing capacity planning, capital financial analyses, and change management

support to an engineering organization responsible for designing and building tooling and

equipment used to manufacture fuel injectors.

• Consistently provided engineering and manufacturing decision-makers with the capacity and

volume analyses that enabled them to effectively plan manufacturing strategies, capital outlays,

budgets, and manpower. Tracked and reported on capital spending to enable financial planning

specialists to manage corporate cash flow for fuel injector products.

• Optimized another Delphi plant’s process flow diagrams (PFDs) and process failure mode and

effects analyses (PFMEAs) for implementation within the Delphi Rochester plant.

• Contributed to product and process improvements by serving on the group responsible for

change management for fuel injectors.

Senior Manufacturing Engineer 2003 - 2006

Served as program manager responsible for bringing new manifold, air meter, and ignition products

into production. Involved coordinating the efforts of product engineers and manufacturing

engineers to finish product designs, develop lean processes, build tooling and equipment needed to

manufacture products, and bring products into production. Also forecast related capital spending.

• Drove manufacturing efficiency by writing PFDs and PFMEAs that successfully transitioned

four new products into production.

• Led a team that developed a unique engineering solution that eliminated $3.5 million in annual

operating costs.

• Uncovered a budget accounting error, freeing up $192,000 for tooling expenses.

Key Delphi Corporation / AC Rochester / Rochester Products Division (cont.)

Experience Manufacturing Engineer 1992 - 2003

Designed, built, qualified, and approved tooling and equipment used to manufacture aluminum die

cast products. Developed and managed a $2 million annual tooling repair budget and forecast a $12

million group budget.

• Developed and created lean operatons, continuous improvements in tooling and equipment for

new products with product and manufacturing engineering teams. Was responsible for initial

product startup through product end-of-life cycle.

• Delivered all new programs on time and under budget

• Contributed to product quality, manufacturing productivity, and continuous improvement by

using root cause analysis in problem solving. Effectively resolved process and equipment

failures, broken tooling, porosity, and solder issues, among others. Acted as the liason across

groups in collaboration with manufacturing management, skilled trades, and machine operators

to implement solutions.

• Delivered a new tooling program that was the first to be production-approved after its initial

tryout, significantly reducing labor costs.

• Produced a major cost savings and reduced skilled trade headcount by recommending a shift

from tooling repair to less costly tooling replacement.

• Personally managed a throttle body product line requiring three castings and producing up to

10,000 pieces per day. Developed original spreadsheet tools to effectively manage this product

line which was previously managed by three individuals.

• Saved at least a month of tool development time by using an infrared thermal camera to identify

a tooling design flaw.

Prior Company Experience (Rochester Products Division) - Was an advanced manufacturing

engineer responsible for providing new equipment and engineering support for die cast products.

Earned a Record of Invention for the design of a unique vacuum valve for use in die cast tooling.

Was also a manufacturing engineer responsible for designing, building, qualifying, and approving

tooling used to manufacture aluminum die cast products.

Other Was a supervisor and manufacturing engineer at Central Foundry Division of General Motors,

Experience Massena, New York.
