Work Experience

2007-Present Mechanical Engineer: MAG, Hebron, Kentucky

Development Engineering Manager: Managed a 1.5 million dollar development

program for a new large Aerospace High Speed Milling Machine. Developed

concepts, managed and directed Engineers and Designers; assisted in assembly of

the first completely new machine design on an accelerated schedule for display at

IMTS 08. Developed the modular design of machine variations to expand the family

of machines. Used ProE & UG solid modeling. Worked on Lean & 6 Sigma initiatives

to increase modularity and minimize Assembly & Installation labor costs.

2005-2007 Mechanical Engineer: W oodward Governor Company, Rockford, Illinois

Project Engineer: Took over project responsibility to complete Certification and

close out all Specification Compliance and internal procedure issues on a Fuel

Metering Unit program. Worked closely with the Customer and all areas of the

Company to facilitate a smooth transition into high volume production.

Staff Engineer: W orked with a team of engineers to write test plans, perform tests

and write reports to obtain FAA and Transport Canada Certification of a jet engine

Fuel Metering Unit.

2003-2005 Mechanical Engineer: Ingersoll Machine Tools, Inc., Rockford, Illinois

Sr. Staff Engineer: Led a team designing a new large Vertical Boring Machine.

Performed and directed mechanical and utility concept and design and coordinated

with electrical design. Performed Customer reviews and interfaced with Customer’s

Facilities group on foundation design. Maintained a very aggressive schedule with

minimal resources & a tight budget while maintaining project security requirements.

2003-2004 Engineer: LM Aero, Fort Worth, Texas

AutoDrill Engineer: Aided LM Aero in completion of building the AutoDrill system by

Cincinnati Machine after Ingersoll closed. Communicated design criteria and

specifications and helped troubleshoot the build. Ensured LM Aero received the

machine in a cost effective and timely manner while maintaining the original

specifications. Determined and mitigated risks as required. (This product is currently

being built by MAG.)

1988-2003 Mechanical Engineer: Ingersoll Milling Machine Co., Rockford, Illinois

Staff Engineering: Supported other Engineers in advanced technology areas of

projects through research, testing, analysis and calculations. Worked closely with

customers and developed several machines and subsystems to best fulfill their

needs. Trained as a QS 9000/TE (ISO 9001) internal auditor. Performed FEA

analysis using GeoStar, FEMAP & CosWorks. Worked to develop and lead a team to

Value Engineer (remove cost without removing functionality) and build a new multi-

machine AutoDrill system.

Project Management/Engineering: Acted as customer and supplier team

contact and coordinator for both contractual and technical issues on a DARPA funded

new technology development linear motor machine. Coordinated designing, detailing

and checking of assemblies; wrote specifications; and interfaced with Manufacturing,

Assembly and outside vendors during the rebuilding of an existing transfer line, a

High Velocity Machining Center and a special multi-machine system.

Design Engineering: Used Solid Works, Pro/Engineer, CADAM and AutoCad to

concept and design machine assemblies and created detailed part drawings including

all required GD&T. Worked with FMEA and DFA/DFM design techniques while

designing several complex automatic transfer lines.

Shop Service Engineering: Assisted Assembly and Manufacturing personnel by

quickly determining the most efficient solution to shop related problems.

Runoff/Quality Engineering: Interpreted customer part print tolerances; calculated

in-process tolerances; created CMM and hard gage inspection procedures; analyzed

inspection results; determined the corrective actions necessary to achieve the SPC

requirements; and interfaced with the customer on several transfer line system.
