company, working in a team atmosphere to achieve technological excellence in meeting customer

needs.

Employment Allison Transmission Inc. North America, Indianapolis, IN 2000 – Present

Background Senior Project Engineer

• Conducted engineering analysis of heavy duty, ground vehicle, automatic transmission

product designs. Completed producibility studies to support release of design changes to

manufacturing. Evaluated manufacturing process changes for impact on transmission

fatigue life. Initiated corrective action procedures in conformance with TS16949/ISO9000

standards.

• Provided MRB (Material Review Board) analysis per Mil-Std-1520 and made

recommendations for acceptance or repair of deviated production material. Developed

repair procedures to bring deviated production material to original design drawing

requirements.

• Provided engineering support for heavy duty, ground vehicle, automatic transmission

assembly and test acceptance. Provided ongoing troubleshooting techniques for resolution

of test failures of transmission assembly, and sub assembly components, for final test

acceptance.

• Provided engineering support for vendor development, and made recommendations for

acceptance criteria used to resource purchased material used for in-house manufacturing.

• Conducted engineering analysis, testing and data analysis to evaluate acceptance of vendor

hardware for complete purchased assemblies, semi-finished hardware, and/or raw

manufacturing material stock for use in final production.

• Organized, prepared, and presented technical reports to customers, vendors, and

manufacturing for status of independently funded programs for implementation in

manufacturing use.

• Assisted and/or directed analysis of transmission assemblies and sub assemblies returned

from customer due to non-function. Provided engineering support for repair and initiation

of corrective action, if needed.

• Provided engineering support for quality assurance audits of transmission assemblies, sub-

assemblies, and individual manufactured and purchased parts used for manufacturing and

final assembly.
