CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

November 2007 – April 2009

Incat Systems, Inc. (assigned to Honda R & D, Americas) Raymond, OH

A development division of automobiles and motorcycles produced exclusively in the Americas.

CATIA V5 DESIGN ENGINEER

Oversee the development of new and updated automotive vehicle models from concept to start of production.

Design and develop all vehicle components, building prototype te st vehicles, and testing for reliability, safety,

comfort, fit and finish, and manufacturability Design and build jigs and fixtures, create assembly instructions,

produce jig confirmation forms, and inspect with Faro Arm to verify correct design. Negotiate with and contract

suppliers to build individual vehicle components, and work with plants to resolve issues, including following the

maturation of jigs and fixtures.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

Currently developing a jig for wheel hub testing for future fuel economy improvement. Initial prototype testing

reveals the jig will perform as required, and the completed design may result in a patent.

Developed a markedly stronger hydraulic actuator stand that has significantly reduced setup time by an hour

per job. Ongoing development will further decrease the setup time.

Designed an adjustable mounting jig for accelerator and br ake durability testing that freed valuable space and

reduced the original setup time of eight hours to less than three hours.

Developed an improved curb impact testing method that resulted in no reassembly of the suspension on

another jig, which reduced the setup time by four hours.

Developed a jig for stabilizer bar durability testing to take the place of two separate actuators in prior testing

scenarios, reducing setup time by four hours and released an additional resource for use in other testing.

April 2004 – November 2007

Kamco Industries, Inc., W est Unity, OH

Tier One automotive supplier of plastic interior trim parts for Honda of America and Honda of Canada.

TOOLING ENGINEER (comparable to Project Engineer)

Mentored junior engineers on design techniques and process/tooling development while working with Honda on

multi-million dollar programs, utilizing project budgets ranging from $1M to $7M. Contributed to the design and

development of trim parts on new or updated models, source and mature injection molds for new products, design

trim, and gap check fixtures. Identified and counter-measured process and tool issues, ensuring a smooth transition

from development to production. Assisted production with process jig development, and trained the Quality

Department on the operation of check jigs. Inspected and assembled prototype parts, and developed check sheets

for jig certification.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

Designed the garnishes for the front and rear door steps, the B-pillar, and rear window plastic cover.

Collaborated in the design of the A-pillar and C-pillar cover garnishes of the same vehicle. Design was

accepted by Honda, which is now featured on the 2009 Pilot.

Rescued a two-month behind-schedule tools production issue through defined major design changes and

customer negotiations, which resulted in the tools reaching maturation schedule on time, and able to

undergo the mass production process.

Resolved an ongoing issue with in-mold fabric wrap trimming process. Developed a robotic laser cutter that

accurately cut the fabric to tight specifications, and ended in a simple loading process for the operator.

November 1999 – June 2003

Green Tokai Co., Ltd., Brookville, OH

A Tier One automotive supplier of plastic exterior trim parts for Honda of America, Honda of Canada, Toyota, and Mitsubishi.

PROJECT/PROCESS ENGINEER

Developed and documented injection programs for new tools using decoupled an d scientific molding techniques.

Oversaw tooling maturation and production readiness trials for new products. Worked with customers to correct all

concern and quality issues. Created and maintained product development schedules, including control plans,

process flows, process failure mode effects analysis (PFMEA), and operator work instructions for new products.

Created floor layouts on new and current processes, and trained operators on correct process for making new

parts. Resolved current injection processes when required and ensured scheduled and unscheduled maintenance

was properly performed on tooling. W orked with standard injection processes, gas-assist injection processes, and

injection process involving in-mold decorating. Reviewed customer prints and calculated all costs for new parts.

Coordinated product bidding and purchasing.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

Developed the first fully automated injection molding line for the company, which reduced cycle time by 15

seconds per part, efficiently eliminating packaging miscounts.

Championed the building of a tool that reduced issue resolution downtime during a new development

project. Cycle time was reduced from a former two-hour downtime to nearly zero.

Resolved an aesthetic design issue that had plagued the develo pment department for over 10 years.

July 1998 – November 1999

Digitron, Inc., Miamisburg, OH

Tier One automotive supplier of machined exhaust manifolds for Ford, General Motors, and Cummins.

DOCUMENTATION ENGINEER

Created floor layouts for new production lines. W rote, maintained, and controlled all operator work instructions.

Updated or created drawings of perishable tooling. Contributed to the implementation of the layout of a new major

manifold machining line.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

Orchestrated the QS-9000 certification processes, resulting in a successful initial audit.

Developed a check fixture that allowed confirmation of the removal of cutter heads from a spherical cutter,

reducing fixture-changing time to only a few minutes.

Assisted in the layout of a new major manifold machining line consisting of five new machines, measured

and marked the actual floor for the riggers to know where to put the machines, and worked with the riggers

to confirm that every machine was installed in the correct place.
