Andy Trujillo

• Designed and optimized end-to-end workflow processes for sheet metal fabrication, improving efficiency across press brake, CNC laser and punch operations, PEM hardware insertion, painting, and silkscreen processes.
• Developed and implemented a Material Review Board (MRB) process and facility layout in compliance with AS9100 standards, enhancing quality control and traceability.
• Led contract and drawing requirement reviews to ensure alignment with customer purchase orders and specifications, reducing ambiguity and risk of non-conformance.

Collaborated with customers to identify and implement engineering drawing improvements, resulting in enhanced manufacturability and reduced production bottlenecks.

• Reviewed and approved detailed mechanical drawings for helicopter systems during early-stage development, ensuring alignment with design intent and manufacturability standards from the Manufacturing Engineering team.
• Created and submitted AS9102 First Article Inspection (FAI) forms (Forms 1, 2, and 3) for supplier components to meet drawing and specification requirements, achieving compliance with FAA and internal quality standards.
• Interpreted and validated engineering specifications for special processes—including Passivation, metal hardness verification, and ICD (Interface Control Document) compliance for electrical boards—ensuring conformance with aerospace quality requirements and AS9100 standards.

• Manage multiple projects to transfer duplicate manufacturing to ensure that prescribed activities are carried out in accordance with specified objectives and timelines, and that deliverables are met.
• Directed and coordinated project activities among multiple departments (sales, engineering, R&D, finance) at all organizational levels.
• Develop project plans and monitor them to ensure on-time completion.
• Assisted with development of Technology Roadmap & track program costs through the BOM routing system.
• Directs and coordinates activities concerned with implementation and carrying out objectives of project.

• Collaborate with operations, manufacturing engineering, quality and facilities to research and understand the manufacturing process and its operational bottlenecks, safety hazards, quality challenges and regulatory requirements.
• Target equipment or systems for modification, upgrade, replacement or procure additional equipment to address the aforementioned issues and challenges.
• Develop business cases and calculate return on investment for the projects to be executed.
• Ensure Compliance with EH&S, Trade Compliance, Ethics and Business Conduct, Operations Policy and all established operating procedures.
• Escalate issues to Department and Senior Management as required in an effective and timely manner. Support Manufacturing Management or Manufacturing Engineering with special assignments as required.

• Designing and developing manufacturing procedures, tooling, and fixtures that result in sufficient capacity to meet customer demand.
• Developing and releasing new products using customer or internal specifications per the company Quality Management System (QMS) to implement AS9100-compliant workflows.
• Providing production line support including, but not limited to, implementing process improvements, troubleshooting equipment, and addressing operator inquiries.
• Perform part measurement using Creaform 3D scanner and generating CMM reports using Polyworks software.
• Collaborated with material scientists and R&D teams to develop and test new rubber compounds for enhanced performance.

• Resolved daily constraints and delays of quality issues and ensured issuance of RMA’s are followed throughout the process.
• Led and facilitated process improvement teams providing Lean tools such as Pareto charts, process flow charts, Value Stream Mapping, Root Cause Corrective Action Reports, basic statistics, and control charts.
• Built working partnerships with suppliers to ensure product quality and improved score card performance.
• Performed AS9102 First Article Inspections and prepared all applicable documents for submittal per AS9100.
• Reviewed, authorized, and signed off all process routers making sure quality clauses and customer specification are documented and acknowledged.
