Objective To obtain a position as a process or project engineer.

Education Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering,

North Carolina State University

Proficient with Microsoft Office software including Access, Excel, Word, Power Point, and

Project, also proficient in Inventor, AutoCAD, Gerbtools, GCPlace, Basic and other software in

a Windows, DOS, or Mac/Sun Open Windows Systems.

Experience Feb. 05 – Present Denso Maryville, TN

Advanced Associate Engineer

Specified and installed 3 semi-automated final assembly lines worth $960K for building

circuit board for meter clusters. I worked with various machine supplies on a communication

protocol to reduce downtime using auto width and program changeover.

Plan production line moves. Work with rigging and electrical contractors to prep and move

line with minimal downtime. Direct production and technical associates on line confirmation

for production.

Planned new product launch for manufacturing. Work with production planning, materials

acquisition, and quality groups to develop schedules and goals. Order machine and manual

assembly jigs. Order materials to completing machine capability. Complete product flow

charts, process controls, and PFMEA documentation.

Manufacturing programming, training, and support for various types of Denso Robots,

Selective Soldering machines (Pillarhouse, Softbeam, Soltec, etc.), Vision Inspection

(Cognex, Keyence), Sealcoat, and Routing Machines.

Design a simple machine using Inventor for pressing pointers on service parts. Used NI

Datapaq to monitor press force and mistake proof controls.

July 03 – Jan. 04 NACAM Hebron, Ky

Process Engineer

A Semi-Automated production line of 23 people building steering columns was running 1.5

days overtime due to operation loses when I assumed technical support for the line. I toke

initiative to find root cause for the downtime. With help from the systems integrator, we

were able to eliminate the overtime and save NACAM $375K in wages per year.

Made Part Masters and programmed Vision Systems to maintain product quality.

Worked with design engineers to review manufacturability of new products.

Nov 03 – Apr. 04 Touchstone Precision, Inc. Auburn, Al

Production Manager

Managed production team of 20 associates and one supervisor and temporarily managed 6

quality inspection associates while looking for new quality manager.

Mediated problems between culturally diverse production team.

Aug. 03 – Nov. 03

Process Engineer

Successfully managed account for new client to make housing for transmission speed

sensor. The client was very happy with how we worked with them to meet tolerances on the

product design. Based on our performance they gave us the opportunity for four additional

projects.

Managed largest account producing automotive electronic connectors for Yazaki.

Worked with multiple groups to bring new products into manufacturing.

Feb. 95 – Mar. 03 AUTECS (Automotive Electronic Control Systems)

(Div. Of BOSCH) Anderson, SC

Process Engineer

Process and project engineer for QS9000 approved OEM supplier of automotive electronics

control systems, air flow meters, and throttle chambers to Nissan, Subaru, and Volkswagen.

Program all products for 100 percent inline inspection of soldered joints using NIS

transmissive X-ray and Agilent Technologies three-dimensional x-ray inspection equipment.

Responsible for assigning preventative maintenance, spare parts, and engineering support

necessary to keep system utilization at 95 percent for a 3 shifts per day, 5 to 7 days per week

operation.

Sourced, purchased, and implemented automated high volume VOC (Volatile Organic

Chemical) free silicon spray coating, curing, automated high temperature test and tab break

equipment worth $380K to replace toluene based dip coat equipment. Reduced overhead by

three personnel and avoided fines for exceeding EPA site emission requirements for Toluene.

Assumed responsibility for failing Agilent 5DX X-ray inspection system in January 1999.

Implemented major system upgrade replacing computer hardware, controllers, and camera in

mid 1999. Due to upgrade, unplanned machine downtime decreased from an average of 27

to 4 hours per week and product cycle time decreased by 10 percent. Investment payback

realized in 5 months.

Reduced missing parts defects at bottom-side SMD 40 percent by leading Kaizen and

storyboard activities with operators and technicians. Implemented periodic monitoring of

critical process control parameters. Used operator feedback to eliminate or reduce potentials

for error. Performed DOE (Design of Experiments) to select a new adhesive for high speed

glue dispensing machines.

Supervised six technicians for six months during management transition.

Promoted for exceeding goals to improve process yields on AUTECS fine pitch electronic

assembly lines to a 97 percent first pass yield rate. Accomplished through short daily

meetings with operators to address process issues and operator tracking of top defects.

Implemented long term solutions for recurring process problems.

Wrote QS9000 procedures and documentation.

June 92 to December 94 SCI Systems, INC. Graham, NC

Manufacturing Engineer

Developed process and procedures for production of IBM Ethernet family of PCBAs worth

$23 million in sales.

Designed, built, and installed forced air preheat convection system in wave-solder

equipment. Increased process window for a no-clean soldering process of PCBs.

Designed, machined or/and subcontracted stainless steel, aluminum and titanium clamps

and fixtures to aid production of PCBs.
