SUMMARY

Experienced mechanical engineer specializing in high volume automobile design, manufacturing and production. Proficient in analysis and testing with expertise in automotive industry standards and general engineering principles. High-energy, self starter, hands-on engineer with innovative ability in design and critical thinking.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Mechanical Engineer- New Product Development (Driveshaft)

Ford Motor Company, Transmission and Driveline, Livonia, Michigan 6/2015 - Present

Driveshaft Design for high volume manufacturing (DFM). Design and manage vehicle programs with cross functional teams: customers, suppliers, manufacturing facilities and global teams.

Perform Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Calculate length and angles and perform Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) analysis. Evaluate driveshaft plunge performance, axle whine and axle windup. Design with Lean in mind leading to lean manufacturing. Design for Assembly (DFA), Design For Manufacturability (DFM) and Design For Six Sigma (DFSS).

Manage program release, Bill of Materials (BoM) and vehicle builds signoff. Manage suppliers by leading SPMTs, Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Quality of Service (QOS) reviews.

Contribute to core knowledge by authoring design rules, Author and update Design/Process Failure Mode Evaluation and Analysis (DFMEA/PFMEA).

Resolve open issues through Six Sigma, Global Eight Disciplines (G8D) processes and by leading supplier and cross-functional issue resolution teams.

3D Modeling and FEA using SolidWorks, Catia and Teamcenter. Drafting and 2D drawings using AutoCAD.

Achievements:

Project #1: Company saving of $19 million

Project #2: Company saving of $2.0 million
