Worked on 11 different vehicle platforms to date. • Strong emphasis on engineering follow-through with countless hours of cross-function, cross-site, and cross-company support in prototype, test, and production. Hands-on engineer that comfortably works beyond job description. • Significance placed on DFM and achieving requirements at the lowest cost. Knowledge in most heavy industry manufacturing methods, including electric arc and friction stir welding. Some working knowledge of CNC programming. • Lead design engineer of survivability systems to defeat various KE, CE, and underbody threats. • Oversight of drafters and designers as well as direction of FEA and ballistic simulation. • Test director responsible for the instrumentation development at corporate ballistic ranges. Responsibilities include design of shock mitigating camera mounts and accelerometer mounts subject to high-explosive blasts with integral mechanical filters. Successful implementation of expedient and cost effective designs utilizing COTS hardware reduced project schedules and provided reductions in customer testing costs.
