Professional Experience

General Motors, Flint, MI

Quality Engineer, HD Truck Assembly Plant

September 2018 – May 2023

oContained defective supplier parts received at assembly plant by coordinating a team of five employees in containment activities, which reduced time and re-work in the assembly process by 30%.

oRecouped containment cost for assembly plant by documenting the supplier part issues and working with the supplier on Permanent corrective action. Recovered 90% of the containment cost from supplier.

oEnsured new parts introduced in assembly plant achieved GD&T and quality requirements by working with supplier in PPAP process. Trial runs eliminated assembly issues by 80%.

oImproved efficiency of containment activities and supported quality management system as manager of the Supplier Quality Action Center team. Scheduled training and led daily activities of team members. Employees completed 100% of the required training.

oEstablished as the subject matter expert for Siemens NX, Stratasys F123 3D printer, and Artec 3D scanner by executing design projects that were printed on 3D printer which contributed to an annual savings of $12,000.

oEvaluated fit and finish of exterior components, as well as BIW on assembled truck, by using feeler gauges to compare actual build result with Dimensional technique specifications, reduce direct run loss by 15%.

oReversed engineered plant fixtures and tooling by measuring physical object and modeling in 3D CAD. Eliminated the need to order parts from outside source.

General Motors, Warren, MI

Manufacturing Design Engineer, Advance Vehicle Development

September 2016 – August 2018

oConducted comprehensive assembly verification using Siemens NX and Vis Mockup in virtual builds, identified interference issues to improve CAD designs by 40%, while also finding assembly issues. Prototype build no builds were reduced by 10%

oIntegrated MR (manufacturing requirements) into the design process by collaborating with release engineers to ensure that designs took MRs into consideration. Incorporated 90% of MR in the completed vehicle design.

oProactively identified and resolved potential assembly issues using the PFMEA process, leading to quality improvement recommendations on 30% of the assembly processes.

Studio Design Engineer, Vehicle Design Studio

September 2015 – August 2018

oEnsured engineering requirements were considered during studio surface development by delivering 2D criteria sections and 3D criteria models to the studio at the required program timing gates. Criteria was delivered 90% on schedule.

oCommunicated engineering requirements for surface development to the program team in China, by conducting weekly design reviews with engineers from China. Handed off a complete vehicle package to the new program design team.

oSkillfully compared studio surfaces against engineering requirements, 70% of engineering requirements require additional coordination with studio team. Issues were tracked and resolved in subsequent design reviews.

Design Engineer, Advanced Vehicle Development

January 2000 – August 2015

oLed collaboration of front end of full-size truck by conducting design reviews that included engineers responsible for exterior, powertrain, and chassis systems. Reduced time in design process by 30%.

oIdentified design issues by conducting engine roll studies, as well as proposing component designs including electrical harness and under fuel pipe routings. Developed solutions for 4 majors and 3 mid-cycle programs.

oDeveloped solutions for vehicle service and shipping requirements by working with service engineers to develop 3D models to communicate requirements for CAD designs and to be verified in prototype vehicles. Achieved 80% of the service requirements without compromise.
