SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS:
Standardized and outsourced internally designed test and handling equipment to implement cost and schedule improvements. Provided technical and organizational leadership on the generation of complete system documentation packages (including all assembly instructions and module test plans). Successfully beta-tested the first outsourcing exercise with local suppliers. Championed the long-term cost down activities of maintenance related material from OEM suppliers. Established the baseline metric for acceptable maintenance costs through negotiation with Executive Management. Provided a sponsorship role on the factory team dedicated to driving cost reduction activities through design change, streamlined buying practices and negotiated supplier cost improvements. Achieved an $800K savings (25% reduction) within the first twelve months of implementation. Managed a department of 20+ Engineers with an annual budget in excess of 3.5 million dollars. Launched several market-leading projects, standardized existing products, and cost-reduced an entire product-line by over 20%. Controlled departmental spending so that all activities were successfully achieved while remaining under budget. Developed new design strategy to institute a pre-contract demonstration of EO/IR system capabilities under aggressive scheduling. Created and managed schedule, provided engineering support to design gaps, and managed quick-turn procurement of material. Project completed on-time, gaining company preferred status on potential $18M contract. Served as sole Hardware Engineering support of Optical Inspection system. Provided design improvements that resulted in more than 10% reduction of system COGs. Implemented new features based on specific customer requirements that resulted in additional system sales.
Coordinated the efforts of the Engineering Team to successfully design, prototype, test and deliver (2) high-end PCB rework systems on schedule. Result was over $250k of additional revenue for the calendar year (approx. 6% of the yearly revenue for this product-line). Took over a New Product Integration project that was over budget by more than 20% and brought system COGs to within 5% of plan. Researched high-risk components and initiated negotiations to reduce supplier quotes. Investigated, and discovered, contractual discrepancies that resulted in over $1M in savings over the product life. WORK EXPERIENCE:
