Senior Product Validation Engineer / Rapid Problem Solving Leader

• Apr 2014 - Jan 2016

• Utilized Six Sigma methodologies to complete two projects focused on Value Package Introduction as well as Current Product impacting Cummins Heavy Medium Light Duty (HMLD) Engineering– completed training in June 2014, completed two projects by January 2016.  Rapid Problem Solving Leader for 6.7 liter engine turbocharger oil coking issue. Used 6S techniques such as Design of Experiments, Failure Mode Effects Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis and project management tools like RACI diagrams to find root cause, test and validate solution while managing the extended team of 20+ engineers. Partial solution implemented late 2015 resulted in significant decrease in turbo compressor degradation. Projected annual savings of >$500K after solution is fully implemented in March 2016. • Developed and tested models of alternate engine designs and processing methods to assess feasibility, operating condition effects, possible new application and necessity of modification for Base Engine, Lube and Cooling and Exhaust Gas Recirculation components. • Evaluated components after endurance, field and performance testing, and led cross-functional teams to resolve complex and global development and validation issues for over 40 pre engine launch incidents while working failure analysis through long term resolution process, and presented progress updates for up to 8 incidents at a time on a weekly basis.  Encountered EGR cooler bracket interference issue from earlier design that was cracking EGR coolers during different thermal and vibration validation tests. Procured modified parts to meet engine build deadlines while working with the supplier on production parts delivery with solution implementation.• Evaluated safety hazards from engine coolant leaks onto high temperature surfaces for 12L program while following Cummins Confidentiality agreements.
