Internationally-experienced Mechatronics Engineer with decades of real-world industrial experience. Proven record of successful project management from conceptualization to implementation and testing. Expertise in electromechanical systems combining both Mechanical and Electronics Engineering skills.
• Directed the full life cycle of production test infrastructure, from design and commissioning to maintenance and overhaul, ensuring reliability and fleet readiness of automation systems. • Planned and established a fully equipped technical workshop to support development, repair, and preventative maintenance activities. • Implemented First Pass Yield (FPY) reporting to monitor asset performance, identify systemic issues, and drive continuous improvement initiatives. • Led root cause analysis (RCA) investigations of failed systems, collaborating with engineering teams to improve product design, system reliability, and service availability. • Defined and standardized test specifications for production units in coordination with engineering, ensuring safety and compliance. • Managed operational budgets for equipment procurement, spare parts, and lifecycle maintenance, optimizing cost efficiency. • Hired, trained, and mentored junior engineers and technicians, creating personalized development plans to strengthen team capability and accountability. • Served as Responsible Member with APEGA, ensuring professional engineering standards and regulatory compliance.
• Designed and prototyped an electromechanical system using radar technology to detect buried pipelines. • Developed and assembled an automated fabric filter cutting machine, enabling ACAMP’s production line to rapidly scale output and meet the surge in demand for protective masks during COVID-19.
* Establishing Calgary operations including staffing, supply orders, and securing of necessary workshop equipment and furnishings, resulting in a client base expansion of over 100 within the first year * Managing growth from zero profit to $2 million revenue in two years without increasing workforce * Produced and presented progress reports and proposals to both internal and external stakeholders * Maintained relationships with site supervisors to ensure all issues were addressed and timelines met * Coordinated, scheduled, and supervised several construction sites simultaneously * Procured and arranged timely delivery of all construction materials to sites * Established Standard Operating Procedures to ensure consistency and efficiency * Enforced corrective actions to ensure ongoing compliance with OH&S safety standards * Ensured up-to-date training and qualifications of installation crews * Performed regular site visits to ensure ongoing progress and address project-specific challenges * Processed time sheets for payroll and budget tracking
* Modernized design process by implementing changeover from paper to AutoCAD drawings, improving project documentation and increasing the capacity for complex designs * Bridged communication between designers and workshop to create a dynamic of accountability * Conducted year-round site visits for measuring, installations, and to troubleshoot existing projects
* Enhanced functionality of laser scanners by incorporating state-of-the-art components with increased hot and cold tolerance, subsequently doubling the laser’s operational temperature range * Diagnosed, repaired and documented malfunctioning products to eliminate points-of-weakness in current and future designs * Cultivated ongoing relationships with suppliers and manufactures to maximize our access to the most up-to-date components and fabrication processes * Automated end-of-line test and routine tasks, resulting in faster daily production turnaround and a reduction in overhead associated with down time * Successfully transitioned a multi-functional team through system modifications by establishing SOP, writing a policies and procedures manual, and continuously re-evaluating technical workflows and training needed to optimize workflow
* Implemented staged software release tests to ensure functionality of Hyundai gear boxes and compliance with all legal and industry standards * Reduced manpower requirement of test vehicle measurement data analysis from one full-time position to a 20-minute daily task by developing Matlab software to scan mass quantities of data for abnormal vehicle behavior * Eliminated redundancies in software design and accelerated project completion time by directing software teams to fulfill Hyundai-specific requirements by building-up from and adapting existing software components
