Summary:
Dynamic, success-driven and highly motivated engineering manager with 15 years of experience in functional and technical management, with focus on research, development and manufacturing implementation aspects of projects. Exhibits a high level of technical skills and hands-on expertise in system level architecture, design and integration of complex systems. Hands-on experience in ultra-high vacuum; ion optics, UV lasers, visual optics, fiber optics. Able to manage multiple teams and projects simultaneously, and meet deadlines under pressure. As engineering manager developed and implemented the most advanced mass spectrometer instruments commercially available. Management Skills:
Functional:
• Managing large engineering teams working in a global environment, in developing complex instrumentation from research to manufacturing.
• Managing and mentoring Mechanical Engineers with focus on improving their productivity optimizing tasks assignment and implementing a competency based performance appraisal system.
• Recruiting new engineers; (assign, direct, and evaluate their work); overseeing the development and maintenance of staff competence.
Technical:
• Managing multiple R&D projects, engineering, science, firmware, software development in a high tech environment.
• Managing general system architecture of highly complex instruments. Experience:
