2005 - PRESENT
Compressor Design Lead Engineer
Directed Engineering teams from Mexico, India and China in multiple design, manufacturing and customer support projects to support on-time delivery. Led the team in the creation of new drawings and Bills of Material.
Supported customers during forced and unforced outages by providing technical recommendations/solutions to field issues through introduction of tools and process improvements. These resulted in $1.1 MM in annual GE savings, and
$3 MM annual customer savings.
Applied FEA analysis to customer owned hardware to recommend repair or replacement. Successful repair efforts prevented turbine rotor replacements which could cost the customer up to $10 MM.
Crafted qualification requirements and reviewed/approved qualifications of newly designed parts through the development of quality inspection plans, and analysis of production data.
Led and participated in team responsible for gas turbine compressor up- rates, introducing process improvements increasing annual output by 30%.
Analyzed design changes for impacts to unit operation with a focus on ensuring acceptable impact to hardware life.
Reviewed manufacturing deviations and assessed viability for field use. Developed standardized process to reduce response time by 50%.
Provided technical expertise in support of root cause analysis of failed hardware, leading to improved designs that better fit customer expectations by extending part life and allowing for increased unit operation flexibility.
Traveled to customer sites to facilitate emergency workarounds for assembly of Load Coupling test pieces.
