which is my area of experience and interests. I am confident that my
credentials and commitment to innovation and development will make me an
excellent candidate for such position.
In summary my credentials include,
. MS in Mechanical engineering from Wright State University, Dayton, OH.
. 10 years + of combined Design and Product Development, Project
Management experience in Consumer products, Medical and Automobile
industries.
. Extensive CAD and FEA project experience with tools: Pro-E, Ansys and
LS Dyna.
The following highlight some of my key accomplishments in my previous jobs,
. Spearheaded 6 major product development projects involving electro-
mechanical tools, - from concept to launch - totaling $12 Million NPD
sales and saved $1.5 Million in productivity projects for 2011/2012,
which resulted in global market leader position.
. Performed FEA analysis on an innovative 15Oz Framing MIG weld hammer
to optimize head and shaft weight, predicted side pull claw failures
and added strengthening features without losing functionality and
adding weight.
. Successfully headed off potential scrap loss of $380,000 and sales
loss of $100,000 by negotiating with UL to perform additional tests on
tools on that failed in their initial temperature tests.
Currently I am exploring new opportunities and if you are on the look for
an enthusiastic and extremely motivated person who can display initiative,
creativity and devotion in his work and enjoys working in a team
environment, please consider my application.
Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to meeting

Stanley Black and Decker, CT Project Engineer
June 2009 till Apr 2013
. Reported directly to the Engineering Director, responsible for
leading and coordinating all product development activities in a
cross-functional system in the Consumer Fastening product
category which includes electromechanical & mechanical fastening
and gluing power tools.
. Led a 3 member off-shore design team and actively manage
multiple product development projects by defining project scope
& schedule, prioritize, setting goals, monitor, offering
technical support, troubleshoot issues, sharing best practices,
review/approve drawings through Engineering Change Notices.
. Prepare and document all required Technical Construction files
including risk assessment, test plans/reports and DofCs and act
as a liaison to launch products globally complying with local
regional standards.
Key Accomplishments:
> Spearheaded 6 major projects - from concept to launch -
totaling $12 Million NPD sales and saved $1.5 Million in
productivity projects for 2011/2012 - resulted in global
market leader position.
> Conceived and developed a 7.2V Li Ion battery platform of
cordless tools: stapler, nailer & glue gun based on marketing
needs. Identified various IEC safety specifications for tools
and Li ion battery and chargers, created product
specifications, performed risk analysis, prepared test
plans, scheduled project phases and identified toll gates,
initiated RFQs, identified vendors, 3rd party test agencies
and led all cross-functional communications.
> Designed, analyzed, prototyped, developed and launched a
thinner gauge staple which uses 16% less steel without
compromising drive performance and fits in all existing
staplers and hammer tackers - annual savings of $100K -
validated design through FEA buckling analysis.
> Performed Design To Value analysis on 2 largest selling tools
in industrial market to reduce costs by 40% and launched
