Principal Technical Professional Engineer Resume Example

Served as a Structures Project Lead, leveraging FEA and quality tools in the design and manufacture of polymer matrix composites for jet engines.

Key Accomplishments:

• Improved the Design for Variation gap of 0.110 inches by 91% based on a 95% confidence interval through application of flowcharting and Monte Carlo simulation with Oracle Crystal Ball on tolerance stack analysis.
• Eliminated non-value added processes leading to a cycle time reduction of from 188 hours to 44 hours and a lead time reduction from 752 days to 17 days through active participation in Value Stream Mapping for manufacturing vanes with cross-functional teams.
• Enhanced manufacturing processes and eliminated waste through implementation of Kaizen Bursts.
• Addressed non-conformances reported via electronic-Quality Notification through modifications of Engineering Standard Work and updates to related work instructions.
• Collaborated with cross-site and cross-functional teams to investigate the FEA of bilinear, multi-linear, and non-linear material properties for structural glue to bond 30K composite SGV into metal shoes.
• Executed comprehensive research on contact analysis of assembles parts of loose fits and interference fits with FEA using bonded, rough, and frictional contacts and constraint equations.

Responsible for leading maintenance initiatives for four heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

Key Accomplishments:

• Optimized system performance through comprehensive analysis of the rate of air volume flow and used results to provide the best restroom comfort through identification of an exhaust system with the lowest sound decibels.
• Improved operational efficiency through effective oversight and review of structural foundation maintenance.
• Executed repair of the mechanical garbage disposal, as well as repair and replacement of fellowship hall floor tiles.

Responsible for the control and automation of manufacturing systems, the design and development of HVAC machines and devices such as Micro Channel Heat Exchangers (MCHE), Coil and Tube Heat Exchangers (CTHE), air conditioners, heat pumps, air handlers, and furnaces, and provision of solutions to address environmental issues.

Key Accomplishments:

• Delivered an annual safety savings of $265K and an annual production savings of $342K through design, sourcing, implementation, and installation of material handling carts on the production floor, reducing forklift usage by 40%.
• Improved energy consumption in new units by 33% through integration of high efficiency Electronically Commutated Motor in the programming, design, and manufacture of air handlers and furnaces.
• Increased production efficiency by 15% and saved $175K annually through effective leadership of a four-person Lean Manufacturing team.
• Leveraged Benchmarking and Value Analysis/Value Engineering and subsequent implementation of component parts, materials, and devices to deliver an annual savings of $1.825M.
• Decreased the average resolution timeline of reported product issues by two months through active participation in the Product Improvement Team and execution of pertinent investigation, engineering research, troubleshooting, analysis, and implementation.
