Perhaps your company is in need of a Die Engineer with extensive experience in die construction, sheet metal stamping, processing, CNC Machining and quality assurance combined with the latest skills of FEA analysis with AutoForm. I am very strong in processing sheet metal panels, for manufacturability, which is essential in yielding the most out of any FEA analysis. If you're looking for such a person, you may be interested in reviewing the enclosed resume.
While with Toyota, I was responsible for comparison processing of up to 122 parts per program. My processes, Die Face Models, blank sizes/nestings, and FEA results were used in comparison to 12 outside suppliers in order to develop the best procedures and check costs. Using these comparisons resulted in a $3,000,000 savings in the first four months of my employment at Toyota.
With experience in 3D design using Unigraphics, Catia, and Autocad, along with an extensive background with General Motor's Die Engineering Division, I am exploring opportunities that will allow me to utilize these skills to contribute to the success of an organization.
I have many skills to offer but neither of us can ascertain if what I can offer would be an enhancement for your operations or not. Therefore, if you have an interest in my background, I would be pleased to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Hubert (Gene) Hargis

CNC Machining/Programming Unigraphics Catia Autocad
Dec. 2008 - Spartanburg Steel Production, Spartanburg, South Carolina
Jun. 2008 A full service supplier of metal stampings, welded sub-assemblies, and major body modules.
Quality Engineer: Responsible to Quality Engineering Manager for performing quality assurance activities to ensure part quality standards are controlled throughout the manufacturing process in accordance with customer specifications.
• Resolved unusual part quality problems through analytical analysis with cross functional team members.
• Monitored SPC charting activities to control job specifications, anticipated out of limit trends, and worked with production to correct trend.
• Interacted with customers as necessary to coordinate and implement corrective and preventative actions as necessary to maintain part quality standards for over 43 specific parts.
• Continually worked with suppliers to improve performance, implement process control and quality plans.
• Interacted routinely with Purchasing, Engineering, and Suppliers to proactively improve quality of components. Worked with project work teams to define project deliverables, project planning, standard practices, and job instructions for all processes.
• Conducted PPAP buy offs with Capabilities studies (Cp & Cpk) on John Deere parts for yearly tool refurbishments.
2007 to Toyota, Erlanger, Kentucky
2008 The Engineering Research Lab for a global automotive manufacturer.
Sheet Metal Stamping Engineer: Responsible to the Area Manager for processing sheet metal automotive panels to determine the best method of manufacturing.
• Developed Die Face models to be used in FEA Analysis. FEA Analysis (Stamping Simulation) was performed by utilizing AutoForm to determine the best method of forming each panel and to find and minimize the Blank Size and Blank Nesting for approximately 120 + panels per program.
• Worked closely with Product on Engineering Change Requests needed in the geometry of panels to improve manufacturability and in many situations reworked the product using Catia and submitted proposals in a cad model.
• Created and presented weekly training session to instruct department members in forming metal and how to process sheet metal parts. Instructed FEA Analysis & Processing to fellow co-workers.
2006 to Promevo, Erlanger, Kentucky
2007 A vendor supplying contract employees to Toyota Motor Company.
Sheet Metal Stamping Engineer: Responsible to the Co-Owner for fulfilling a contract assignment to process sheet metal automotive panels to determine the best method of manufacturing for Toyota.
