I am looking for a job as an estimator that will use the skills that I had learned as a project engineer in the automotive industry.
For the past 30 years, I have been a design and process engineer that has implemented over 25 new products into production for Delphi Corporation. During this time I have accumulated a substantial amount of knowledge of manufacturing processes, design developmen, problem analysis, and customer interaction. Working closely with technicial staff and leadership, I have been able to provide on-time, cost-effective solutions for production problems and customer requirements.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Delphi Corporation – Rochester, NY 1979 -2009
SENIOR DESIGN ENGINEER – Electronic Throttle Control (2003-2009)
Responsible for developing and implementing solutions to cost savings, design scope change and production-related problems associated with the Hyundai Gen 4 and Gen 6 Electronic Throttle Controls. Provided engineering support to other programs as required.
• Coordinated a late supplier change for the motor on the Hyundai Gen 6 Electronic Throttle Control which resulted in an annual cost-savings of $300K+.
• Designed, tested and implemented a design change to the Hyundai Gen 4 Electronic Throttle Control which resulted in an annual cost savings of $300K+ and required negligible investment.
• Led the design team and developed the product costs for the Hyundai Gen 6 Electronic Throttle Control.
• Interfaced with manufacturing, design, test engineering, and development engineering to produce solutions to customer requests.
• Resolved component durability problems and defined product test strategy.
• Conducted daily meetings with Korean manufacturing facility and customer.
• Involvement with the selection of key suppliers.
• Resolved problems on pilot and prototype builds.
SENIOR DESIGN ENGINEER – Mechanical Throttle Bodies (2000-2003)
Led the design team for the start-up and build of the first mechanical throttle bodies in the Delphi-Beijing manufacturing facility.
• Taught several Chinese engineers the fundamentals of mechanical throttle bodies.
• Led design team for the implementation of the 2RZ mechanical throttle body.
• Presented effective problem resolutions to customer engineering, program and executive teams.
SENIOR DESIGN ENGINEER – Large Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valves (1998-2000)
Develop a large Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve for the heavy duty truck market. The target customers were Caterpillar, Cummins, International, and Mack Truck.
• Responsible for the design, testing, and the building of prototype hardware for the customer.
• Developed the initial design concept for the Smart Remote Actuator. This product was eventually developed and released to production by other Delphi engineers.
SENIOR PROCESS ENGINEER – Pressure Regulators and Fuels Rails (1988–1998)
Responsible for the cost estimating and program timing for various fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator programs.
• Defined manufacturing and tooling processes for high volume applications (25,000/day) and low volume applications (20/day).
• Obtained $5M funding for tooling of the Mini-Cartridge Pressure program and controlled spending to stay within budget.
• Completed through process documentation.
