Re: Requesting an Interview
To whom it may concern,
I am interested in the Tooling Engineer position. For the last 9 mo. I have been working as a Tooling Engineer at Electrolux
buying Tooling for them and trouble shooting all of there tooling ( this is a new plant with a small tool room not a lot of skill
in trouble shooting ) Doing ECN and representing the plant in all new tooling the other Engineers brought in .Before that
working for Samtec as there Tooling Engineer to help them with there high speed stamping dies. Before that I worked in El
Palme, Mexico as an Engineer in Manufacturing and Tooling. My objective was to oversee that molding passed first article.
I also was assigned to the help in there stamping area and help with solve part problems. Also, while I was there I built and
help design a 40 pin assembly line that blanks, trims, inserts and forms for use of G.M. audio line. While in Mexico, I
supervised part of the assembly department and educated employees on how to fix and prevent the line from having
problems assembling relays. I taught toolmakers and apprentices how to run the machinery and measuring equipment. In
addition to instructing toolmakers on the usage of equipment, I advised management with purchasing
of perishable tooling and non perishable tooling.
For over 28 years, I have been employed as a Tooling Engineer &Lead Master Tool and Die Maker at Tyco Electronics.
Tyco Electronics specialized in
relays for Delphi, General Motors, Ford, GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Motorola. The company’s plant closed
in
Franklin, KY in November 2004, and I was contracted to work at the plant in Spartanburg, Sc as a Tooling Engineer.
Through Tyco Electronics, I have acquired knowledge in automotive relays, circuit breakers, commercial relays (for trains),
and other electronic relays. I am experienced on many different types of machinery and overseen all grinding at the plant. I
am skilled at quoting and coordinating incoming work and outsourcing excess production work. Trained in ISO 9001:2000,
GB/T 19001-2000, QS9000,
