Experienced engineering systems Lead with a demonstrated history of working in the aviation and aerospace industry. Passionate about understanding how the world works and how technology can help improve us all. That curiosity and passion has led me to become an engineer and professional working towards an MBA focused in data analytics and entrepreneurship.
Work with personnel at all levels to understand business requirements and translating them into system requirements and design solutions for Model Based Enterprise and Model Based Definition. Develop/ maintain integration and business process maps for pillar systems within the MES (to include Model Based Engineering within the PLM and Order Management within the ERP system). Leads work within committed timelines and budgets; is accountable for all assigned tasks and projects; regularly informs management of progress when issues or conflicts occur and makes recommendations for resolution.
▪ Managed software development lifecycle for Manufacturing Execution System (MES). ▪ Oversaw a team of engineers to successfully deliver Java based business applications resulting in cost savings of over two million dollars for the company. ▪ Designed, tested and executed hundreds of software changes within the Assembly MES (SOPAT) which resulted in over a million dollars cost savings over a five-year period. ▪ Led a cross functional team that improved efficiency by 10% through effective team building and open communication. ▪ Guided novel problem-solving approaches to issues and motivated team to continually develop innovative enhancement to processes. Provided effective peer, stakeholders, and leadership communication. ▪ Implemented a program team process through actionable milestones to ensure the timely delivery of products. ▪ Facilitated planning and development of multiple projects through development phase, testing and final deployment.
▪ Developed innovative manufacturing procedures that drove continuous improvements of assembly work instructions reducing time to validation by 30%. ▪ Managed and mentored incoming rotational members on assembly process standard initiatives. ▪ Coordinated a team of process/method engineers to deliver high impact assembly instructions; oversaw product definition supplier’s activities. ▪ Responsible for technical design, development, and maintenance of work instructions; Led technical strategy discussions; Selected process/design tools. ▪ Wrote and tested assembly work instructions for all development engine external packages. ▪ Trouble shot shop floor build process delays utilizing QCPC turnback’s/ escapes resulting in three-week time saving in external layering package.
