OBJECTIVE

To grow the sales and products performance by leading a technical engineering group or being an individual contributor.

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Seasoned Engineer in both (mechanical and electrical engineering) with 20+ years of successful engineering/management experience. My in-depth technical knowledge and the broad production floor experience in the electric rotary machines and electronics circuits, coupled with excellent educational credentials and professional accomplishments, have made me a subject matter expert and outstanding technology leader in electric motors, generators and drives. The markets were: HVAC, aerospace & defense, medical, automotive, industrial, oil and gas, mining, glass and paper industry. The motors powers and its embedded electronics I developed were from fractional to 5000 HP and the speeds from a few revolution per minutes to 200,000 rpm. A high level of expertise I have earned in FEA/FEM electromagnetics and mechanical design coupled with thermal and CFD calculation. ANSYS, Infolytica, J- MAG, SPEED, MAGSOFT, SolidWorks, Pro-E, Auto-CAD were the most common design software I used. I take lead on challenging assignments creating business opportunities where none exist. I am talented at realistically sizing up a situation, setting up goals, determining available resources, organizing and supervising the personnel to make sure the job gets done correctly, always in the most efficient manner. Logical and analytical, with my strong sense of business acumen, professional presence and confidence, I am a natural leader and a quick decision maker.
