SUMMARY

I am a very enthusiastic, creative- “Out of the box” problem solving, highly motivated individual with a strong work ethic. I possess a clear understanding of the technical work and responsibilities of a Metallurgical and a Quality Laboratory and a Research & Development lead & mentor.

I have the ability to balance the demands of operations in a Lean+ environment and the daily needs of engineering and research while assuring the absolute integrity of the analysis and results. I adapt quickly and develop lean organizational changes while seeking continuous process improvements and seek to advance the technology in a way that delivers best value as well as the highest regard for unparalleled quality to the external or internal customer. I am looking for a position and opportunity to continue to grow my extensive knowledge of Quality Assurance, new process and material Quality Development, Metallurgical and quality laboratory processes, quality systems, research & development and continuous improvement methodologies and KPI’s either singularly or as an integral part of a team while upholding safety as priority-one as well as ITAR compliant.

Inspection, calibration and use of testing & measurement equipment, both in-lab and the shop floor.

Validate and analyze test data and compile technical evaluation reports.

Physical/Mechanical testing & performance evaluation utilizing effective QA methodologies and relative processes. Identify, report, track and resolve quality related issues/discrepancies. I have 20+ years of in-depth working knowledge of Quality Management Systems along with a clear understanding of FOD control processes and ISO9001 and AS9100.

Safety conscious at all times and LOTO and MSDS involvement. Excellent communication skills from the internal customer to management to all forms of outside and government agencies and customers.
