PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Hewlett Packard Inc., Vancouver WA 2015 2020

Senior Engineer and Lead Mechanical Architect - 3D Printing Multi-Jet Fusion

Directed and participated in the development of print head maintenance hardware and agent delivery

systems.

Delivered on target performance, reliability, and cost for subsystem ahead of schedule.

Managed the implementation of customer replaceable print bars and cleaning modules,

transforming the end-user experience by eliminating down-time and field service expenses for

both company and clientele.

Spearheaded the inclusion of drop detection hardware. Developed a method for proactive and

seamless early warning of potential reliability issues in the writing system which greatly

improves assurance of job completion for the customer.

Volunteered to assist lagging designs, including the powder pneumatic conveyance and

reconditioning (humidity) systems to keep the product on schedule and meeting goals.

Hewlett Packard Inc., Vancouver WA 2010 2015

Senior Engineer and Lead Mechanical Architect Business Printing Systems

Led product development of textile cleaning systems for maintaining Page Wide Array printing platforms

consisting of > 59K nozzles across an 11 swath.

Oversaw and participated in the design and development of cleaning hardware and automated

algorithms to deliver consistently superior print quality without compromise.

Established strong cross-functional relationships with Ink Chemists as well as System, Reliability,

Electrical, and Firmware engineers across multiple sites to manage complex issues involving:

irregularities in ink chemistry

ink flow and containment within fluidic micro-architectures

printhead thermal control

orifice plate surface mechanics.

Hewlett Packard Inc., Vancouver WA 2000 2010

Senior Engineer and Lead Mechanical Architect - Consumer Printing Systems

Responsible for the mechanical development of high-performance hardware for seven low cost

platforms during the rise and dominance of Thermal Ink Jet in consumer printing.

Played a vital role in establishing the company cash-cow by designing low cost, high reliability

hardware for manufacturing volumes exceeding 1 million units per month.

Ensured quality by designing to realistic, functional specifications and proved out design

margin by executing thorough and exhaustive loss function testing.

Managed global partnerships through regular travel to China, Singapore, Malaysia,

Japan, and Thailand to collaborate with and train production assets for high volume

manufacturing throughout all stages of product development.

Specialized in complex mechanisms deriving power from otherwise dedicated drive systems.

Improved profit margins by millions of dollars per month by taking a system level

approach to cost reduction.

Developed expertise in the design and processing of complex engineering materials including

injection molded plastics, sheet-metal, extrusions, elastomers, thermoplastics, die-cut and

porous plastics, as well as filament brushes and absorbers used for printhead servicing.

ADDITIONAL RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

Hewlett Packard Inc., Vancouver WA.

Product Reliability Engineer Consumer Printing Systems

Instrumental in the solution of two class problems, each saving the company > $100 million

dollars and greatly improving customer satisfaction.

Used Potential Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) to facilitate decisions around the

deployment of product development resources.

Championed reliability during product development through design-of-experiment (DOE)

practices to determine operational space and margin.

Designed and executed loss function testing beyond pre-determined limits to set functional

specifications for product performance.

Executed modelling of time dependent failure modes to predict system reliability to drive pre-

and post-production improvement investment.

Applied accelerated testing methodology to quickly identify failure modes.

Wrote test plans to drive and demonstrate reliability in accordance with project milestones.
