PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION Newtown, Pennsylvania

Senior Manager, Manufacturing Engineering November 2001 to June 2015

Directed the manufacture of over $30M in state of the art mechanical and electronic systems for military, civil, and commercial applications.

Developed, organized and led a world-class manufacturing team for highly complex spacecraft antennas used both on in-house spacecraft as well as successfully bidding on external systems on a variety of platforms. Directed high power testing of antenna systems and components in severe space qualification level environments.

Coordinated the implementation of lean production improvements on all of the production programs yielding an average of a 46% reduction in defects, 33% reduction in touch labor and a 23% improvement in build efficiency (lead time reduction). Led the reduction in manufacturing-liable defects to less than 0.30 defects per 1000 touch labor hours.

Leader of the mechanical and advanced manufacturing engineering group directing computer aided design/drafting, and automated test hardware/software design teams involved in new technology development, new product introduction, the identification and acquisition of capital equipment and product line maintenance.

Deputy Director, Communication Products January 1997 to November 2001

Leader of the Communication Products team in the transition and consolidation of the East Windsor, NJ and Valley Forge, PA facilities into the Newtown campus. Developed processes, equipment and standards for manufacturing and personnel. Integrated requirements to develop commonality between program applications for all products.

Team Leader for all Communication Products Lean Manufacturing utilizing Toyota Manufacturing Systems Kaizen events which resulted in increases of over 50% in productivity and quality, and over 60% reductions in down time, cycle time, inventory and rework. Developed and implemented the lean work areas in the new facility for an overall 50% or greater reduction of footprint.
