Professional Experience
Manager, Quality Engineering, 03/2014 - Current Humana Inc. – Montpelier, VT,
Manage the Quality Engineering Team, the Complaints Department, and the Metrology Department at Alcon's Class II and Class III medical device manufacturing facility.
Responsible for improving site compliance and reducing recurring deviations through NCR Investigations and CAPA implementation.
Investigate customer complaints and interface with regulatory groups to provide feedback to doctors.
Direct the teams to provide Calibration support for two medical device-manufacturing facilities.
Responsible for setting priorities, providing direction, coaching, motivation, mentoring and development of both exempt and non-exempt direct reports.
Senior Engineer II (Managed Process Engineering and Automation Groups), 02/2011 - 03/2014 Air Worldwide – Quincy, MA,
Process Control Lead Responsibilities added September 2013.
Managed the Process Engineering and Automation Groups at Alcon's Class II/III surgically implantable optic device and delivery systems manufacturing facility.
Responsible for setting priorities, providing direction, coaching, motivation, mentoring and development of both exempt and non-exempt direct reports.
Responsible for the engineering activities and support related to all aspects of the manufacturing process including: Injection Molding, Assembly, Curing, CNC machining, Chemical Processing, and Inspection.
Applied technical expertise to improve yield of AcrySof® manufacturing.
Helped to reduce the particulate reject rate for Wavefront product by 50%.
Reduced dimensional failures from 5% to to <0.3% and saved the facility ~$1.4M in labor and materials annually.
Led the implementation of multiple automation projects, each of which have improved quality, increased capacity, and reduced cycle time with paybacks realized between 1 and 3 years.
Managed departmental budget, automation budget as well as capital projects to achieve savings of at least $100k without sacrificing service levels.
Senior Engineer I, 08/2007 - 02/2011 Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. – Ogden, UT,
Supervised the Drafting group, Custom Tool Production, Milling, Injection Molding, and Clean Room Engineering Support staff for both Class II and Class III medical device manufacturing.
Set priorities, provided direction, and supervision to direct reports.
Specified, developed, procured, and validated addition of vision inspection systems to the automated milling machines and improved cut quality and consistency of AcrySof® Single-Piece IOLs.
Provided technical support for the injection molding process, assembly, curing, machining, and clean room operations.
Process Engineer II, 01/2005 - 08/2007 Systems & Technology Research – Dayton, OH,
Engineer responsible for process development and improvement at Alcon’s Class II/III medical device manufacturing site.
Designed, built, validated, and implemented the next generation automated milling machines for use in AcrySof Single-Piece IOL manufacturing.
Increased output in AcrySof Single-Piece IOL milling by more than 25% while not impacting quality through an iterative process of adjusting key parameters and verifying impact on cycle time and product quality.
Designed, built, tested, and validated the prototype packaging and labeling workstation. Evaluated prototype for ergonomics and work flow with the help of production personnel. Modified the design accordingly and built, and validating the remaining 23 workstations. Validated improvements to the software after initial release. The resultant stations prevent packaging failures from getting out into the field.
Developed and analyzed proof of concept models to evaluate manufacturing improvements using Pro/E prior to implementation.
Set priorities, provided direction, and supervision to one direct report
Research Engineer, 08/2003 - 01/2005 Association Of American Medical Colleges – Washington, DC,
