Summary of Qualifications
Senior Project Engineer/ Program Manager/
Engineering Manager/ RF expert.
Offering over 17 years of Management experience
including 15 years as a Program, Project and Product Manager in the
manufacturing, development and service of consumer and military product. I have been involved with the full product
life cycle, from inception to end of life removal for products produced
domestically and internationally. I have gained great strengths throughout this
time.
Teams I have served on have implemented the
necessary actions to ensure that cost, quality, and delivery of products are
continuously improved. This has been achieved by keeping detailed issues and
actions lists, the use of concurrent engineering practices, Program Management
principles, DFM, FMEA and other advanced statistical techniques, Lean Manufacturing
concepts, TQM, strong technical aptitude, as well as constant communications to
both upper management and direct reports. My experience as ISO9001 internal
auditor and plant management representative has been invaluable.
I have maintained a proven track record of getting
multiple projects completed on time and on budget throughout my career. I have
also developed the necessary skills to keep team members motivated and to
develop junior members into full contributors of the teams. While having had the opportunity to work
with great teams, I have learned to have constant respect for people, share a
clear understanding of all team goals, and to develop metrics to track our
progress against those goals.
I also have experience in the Design/Launch/Manufacturing
of International products having been responsible for providing technical
leadership for products shipped from Mexico, China, Taiwan, Malaysia and
Singapore. This has allowed me to work
with diverse cultures and has made me appreciate and respect the talents of
each. I hold a BSEE and have completed
MBA and MSEE courses for personal and professional enrichment as well as hold a
United States design patent.
