Professional Synopsis
Years in the breach of mechanical and electrical design, with experience in microwave communication, medical robotics, FDA, aerospace, aircraft, railroad, heavy vehicular, marine, machine automation, telecommunications, fiber optics, and petrochemical industries. Dedicated and motivated in mentoring individuals using VitalSmarts Crucial Conversations.
Expertise with:
●10+ Years SolidWorks®, EPDM
●20+ Years Pro/Engineer®, Creo®
●17+ Years Windchill®, PDM/IntraLink®
●3 Years Anvil 1000MD®
●9 Years CADAM®
Solid background in the contractual process including successful vendor negotiations, streamlined contractual review, optimizing machine tools & die operations, accelerated injection molding, and first approval process. I know and introduced ASME Y14.100, ISO 9000, and ASME Y14.5M-1994 Dimensioning And Tolerancing. I contributed to the FDA 510 (k) approval process. Through years of “in the breach” execution of design solutions and strategies, as opposed to “borrowing a client’s watch then telling them the time of day”, a professional can execute and lead at the highest level.
