QUALIFICATIONS

  • 37 years of product development / engineering experience in the automotive industry.

  • 4 years of engineering experience in the high-rise apartment building construction industry.

  • Highly analytical: Able to identify and quantify system contributors and construct Excel, Enventive, and Mathcad models that simulate and predict system performance. (This is my Passion.) I continually teach myself the quantitative relationships between all of the system elements I can find.

  • My insatiable curiosity motivates me to pursue details that enable me to create a more complete understanding of the system being studied.

  • Persistent mentality enables me to continue where others may stop. I don’t quit!

  • My creative trait produces innovative design solutions, shown by several awarded patents.

  • Ability to translate raw ideas into physical systems that work as intended.

  • Adept at working with CAD designers to create machine-ready component CAD data.

  • Solid experience in all phases of product development, including initial concept design, prototyping, validation, and mass production launch.

  • Specific areas of expertise: Gearing, springs, electric motors (DC Perm Mag and BLDC), linkages, system free-body diagrams, kinematics.

  • Fully experienced in DFMEA, PFMEA, and design optimization techniques.

  • Excited to use God’s Language: Mathematics; statics, kinematics and dynamics to describe the functioning of His creation around us.

  • A Sharp Focus keeps me centered on task at hand. (a Plus and a Minus.)

  • Adequate communication and interpersonal relationship skills.
