PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Enovation Controls San Antonio, TX Oct 2012-Present

Manufacture Engineer

Improved equipment from prototype phase to full production phase which result in converting a department

to a whole new company.

Provide support in developing, debugging, and modifying production equipment by identifying major

roadblocks preventing the equipment from achieving optimal performance and providing viable solutions to

overcome these opportunities.

Design processes for new product development and current product improvements.

Utilizing advanced Product Quality Planning tools and methodologies to identify and mitigate risk through

poke-yoke (mistake proofing) solution.

Utilizing Lean Manufacturing methodologies to ensure adequate capacity through the development of

standard work (line balancing to a takt time and flow).

Work with tool design and third party vendors to create cost effective equipment/ fixture/ jigs for production

processes.

Identify and provide solutions for breaking production constraints/bottlenecks by improving the equipment

availability, labor efficiency, and/ or quality rates.

Lead continuous improvements efforts focused on reducing non-value added activities and increasing process

capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk)

Finalizing software and operator interfaces that support the automated processes by acquiring advanced

working knowledge of the existing software and structure, develop modify, and make recommendations.

Perform root cause analysis when non-conforming product escapes the plant.

Develop documentation, including but not limited to layouts, drawings, processes, Map’s, Control plans

PFMEA, DFMEA etc., to support the manufacturing process and provide guidance and training for new

operators and support engineering.

Spearheaded a team in-charge in the identification & resolution of organizational challenges for the proper

streamlining of projects and preparation of product.

Instrumental in the design & installation of data logging systems which allowed analysis as well as subsequent

performance assessment and troubleshooting.

Commended for the consistent and timely delivery of projects within budget l imits.

Develop and maintain safe working environments wherever the worksite is located by deploying the 5S

process.
