SUMMARY
Manufacturing and design engineer capable of directing projects from inception thru delivery with capital equipment justification, documentation, and launch experience. I have a proficiency in SolidWorks with EPDM or Windchill directed towards the design of tooling and fixtures using design analysis tools like cosmos express. All with a poky yoke mentality.
I have 18 yrs. of Management in the automotive, aerospace, and furniture industries with the primary focus in precision CNC machining of parts in all types of materials from plastics to Inconel. I have worked with CNC machines for many years and have integrated a lot of peripheral equipment, bar feeders, robot, and inspection equipment.

EXPERIENCE
Ritz Instrument Transformers 2015 – Jan.-Nov.
Manager: Manufacturing Engineering and Quality
Served as the Quality Management Representative for Ritz USA
Maintained the equipment calibrations, CCR log, Quality Alerts, and kept the CAR program functional.
Introduced improvements to manufacturing to reduce labor and improve quality and safety.
Charleston Marine Container Inc., SC (Out of business) 2012- 2014 – Dec. – Jan.
Manufacturing Engineer
Develop, and implement processes for the best utilization of labor and equipment.
Design and build fixtures, templates, and tooling to aid in the fabrication and integration of the product.
Most recent template saved the operator 30 minutes per container by eliminating the layout of hole locations.
Resolve assembly issues. Example: Critical dimension between walls not consistent.
Cargo doors were binding when opened causing the walls to flex.
Hinges were out of alignment.
Designed and built a fixture to hold the hinge lugs in line while welding.
Resolved safety issues. Example: Injuries occurring when moving containers on the conveyer system.
Personnel pushing the container were not able to see in front of the container.
Invented a semi- automatic conveyer stop for each station that required an operator to be positioned at the front
of the container to release it.
Improved product flow. Example: designed a cart pulled by fork lifts with articulated steering to navigate
sharp corners eliminating the need for a second fork lift to control the tail.
