• Overseeing entire technical production processes at a component and assembly level, as well as the design and/or acquisition of essential process work-holding, tooling, and machinery.
• Working directly with production personnel and staff members on the proper execution of operating new machines, equipment, and overall processes.
• Responsible for the acquisition and performance evaluation of new machines and equipment in the U.S. and international locations.
• Utilizing Siemens CAD for in-process manufacturing models, CNC programming of grinding and turning machines, and supporting equipment.
• Collaborating with and incorporating cross-functional teams, such as material specialists, purchasing, quality assurance, design, and supply chain, to achieve efficient and successful processes.
• Investigating nonconforming parts through root cause analysis and preliminary material review per AS9100, then implementing corrective action plans where necessary, and documenting results.
• Determining the root causes of process failures and recommending changes in designs, process stacks, tolerancing, and processing methods.
• Supported R&D programs by meeting scheduled deadlines, adhering to budget constraints, and implementing industry-leading solutions.
• Considerable experience with the certification of R&D products through FAA-regulated compliance processes and test environments.
• Prepared and presented detailed engineering test plans and test reports for approval by engineering management and FAA representatives.
• Extensive experience with ground-up assembly of low-thrust class gas turbine and turbojet engines for OEMs in both commercial and military applications.

• Performed under senior engineering management to provide organizational and structural support to manufacturing processes.
• Utilized CAD modeling and design software for the development of hardware to support essential manufacturing operations.
• Responsible for establishing and revising standard work instructions through cooperation between subject matter experts and design engineers.
• Participated in cross-functional teams focused on optimizing current systems and developing new ones.

Company Overview: Worked with an application engineering team to provide technical support to OEM and Tier customers in the automotive industry through laboratory testing, customer visits, and general engineering advice.

• Involved in laboratory testing with data acquisition equipment to support research for customers.
• Worked with OEM/Tier customers and suppliers to gain experience with customer interactions, along with knowledge of outside processes.
• Worked closely with the development of new parts by providing design support with engineering software, such as AutoCAD and SOLIDWORKS.
