Background Summary: I possess extensive engineering/executive management experience in the aerospace, energy, manufacturing and construction industries, some with international operations. I am a strong team builder and leader with the ability to achieve positive change with very profitable conclusions. I excel in working and communicating with others on the executive team to define the business’ strategy and develop the processes and teams to accomplish the established goals. I excel equally in developing motivated team members to achieve the established goals. I have successfully increased business opportunities and revenues through development of new products and processes, as well as, development of new clients.
Professional Accomplishments:
• Built and led multi-disciplinary teams to successfully accomplish established goals in project/program management, product research and development, engineering management, laboratory management, manufacturing process and robotic equipment, strategic planning, design engineering, estimating, customer service, quality improvement and capital acquisition.
• Managed all program activities of a multi-million dollar test contract supporting the International Space Station. This included customer interface, contract negotiation, administration and control of all program activities.
• Achieved significant engineering, manufacturing and inventory cost reductions while improving quality and on-time release through design for manufacturing, concurrent engineering, increased standardization of products and parts, reengineered processes and cross-functional teams.
• Led companies in the implementation of ISO 9001 and new MRP II/ERP systems at numerous organizations.
• Initiated improvements in development, design and manufacturing efficiencies through the use of teams, concurrent engineering, solid modeling, rapid prototyping, rapid tooling and standards.
• Managed all research & development for new mechanical/electromechanical products and improvements for existing products for major manufacturers with international operations.
• Directed proposal activities for a multiple multi-million dollar proposals
• Supervised and coordinated daily activities for multiple teams of both salaried, hourly and union employees; i.e. senior level project managers and engineers; mechanical and electrical development/design engineers; estimators; customer service representatives; and construction, fabrication, maintenance, material control, and clerical personnel.
• Justified and administered multi-million dollar department development and overhead budgets. Consistently exceeded goals within budget constraints.
• Oversaw all bidding, quoting and proposal activities for all potential projects.
• Conducted feasibility studies, and compiled justifications and requests for capital improvements. Coordinated and led efforts of the appropriate engineering, accounting, and procurement and construction resources to accomplish such. Numerous multi-million dollar construction/improvement projects successfully completed throughout my career.
• Established product groups supported by cross-functional teams utilizing concurrent engineering & integrated product development methodologies for product research & development activities. Improved customer responsiveness, implemented design for manufacturing (DFM), reduced development lead times and costs.
• Negotiated numerous contracts and partnering agreements with customers, vendors, and partners in both the commercial and government sectors.
• Developed performance specifications for equipment, systems and facilities. Evaluated bids to these specifications.
• Conducted and directed acceptance testing of manufactured products, mechanical systems, electro/mechanical systems and facilities.
• Designed tools, equipment, mechanisms, structures, facilities, environmental controls, material handling systems, mineral processing systems, high vacuum systems, and cryogenic systems.
