very excited, and the more I compared your requirements with my experience and interests, the more excited I became.
I want you to know right up front that I am not a plodding engineer; rather, I am a forward-thinking engineering leader with a
proven track record for delivering high quality products on /me and to standards. I have earned a reputa/on for innova/on,
rigorous tes/ng procedures, a proac/ve and hands-on approach to cost reduc/ons, mee/ng deadlines on large and small scale
projects, and ability to lead and develop the engineers and technicians on my projects.
Here is how I compare in terms of what you seek for the posi/on and what I oer:
Please look over my professional prole which describes in further detail some examples of the results of the skills and abili/es I
bring to the table.

REPRESENTATIVE PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS (conHnued):
EXISTING PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
! As lead engineer for complex electro-mechanical products genera/ng $1.7B annually, I was responsible for making the ini/al
assessment of equipment problems referred to Engineering. I implemented a root cause analysis approach covering R&D to
Implementa/on. ASer just two projects using this approach, the company realized over $100K a month savings. ( Company)
! I was able to proac/vely iden/fy obsolesce issues arising from ROHS and REACH legisla/on which may have prevented the Page |
selling of our instruments overseas. I generated a series of projects to address the future problems so that they could be solved 4
in a non-crisis mode. (Company)
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
! Led program that reduced unit costs due to obsolescence and through product enhancements. Managed development costs
and schedule for mul/-year eorts, responsible for as many as 12 cri/cal path projects simultaneously. My work saved the
organiza/on over $200K each month in ongoing bo`om line costs for parts, labor and logis/cs. ( Company)
! For the category of industry, I evaluated new soSware for use in electrical, instrumenta/on and process design. The proposed
soSware required $100K in up-front costs and required $125k per year in licensing fees. ASer spending some /me with the
soSware, I found that, because of the overly complicated nature of the program, there was no produc/vity gain. I demonstrated
some simple (and industry standard) techniques would yield signicant produc/vity gains to my internal clients. ASer
documen/ng the techniques, the company adopted my suggested processes. ( Company)
INNOVATION, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
! Out of personal interest and curiosity, I developed a new manner in which to analyze military systems. My ini/a/ve resulted
in an increasingly more realis/c way to evaluate weapon eects. My research combined sta/s/cs, image analysis and materials
engineering in a novel approach to the problem. This research a`racted the a`en/on of the US military branch leadership and I
was asked to present my ndings to the Senior Analysts Group (SAG) at the Pentagon and to senior researchers at the
Department of Defense Research Centers across the US. The US military branch adopted this approach and it has become the
standard approach to determinis/cally determine weapons eects. As a result of these eorts, I received an award from the
three star Commanding General of the US Military Branch / Organiza/on. ( US MILITARY ORGANIZATION )
INTERDIVISIONAL COMMUNICATION
! For a produc/on line update for the ber industry, created an opportunity to automate the process due to structural
symmetries. Working with a cross-func/onal team of engineers and designers, developed process through which a database and
set of generic templates were used to automa/cally generate some 480 produc/on drawings. Once the generic drawing
template was agreed upon, the team only needed to input their equipment iden/ca/on numbers into the database. The
system would then generate drawings, and when requested, would plot them for review. This process yielded drawings with
nearly 100% accuracy, and saved the project over 10,000 hours in design /me. ( Company)
MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
! Served as mentor, collaborator and support for peer, junior and senior engineers, providing developmental coaching and
training in areas such as Lean Engineering principles and in the use of standard engineering prac/ces. Ini/ated compliance
paperwork to help projects in danger of missing milestones. Occasionally served as internal consultant providing soSware
examples, prototype samples or solu/ons. These eorts have lead to four promo/ons. ( Company)
! I started Name of Restaurant and Pub in City, State in 2007. Genera/ng over $4M in sales in just 4 years, I managed a sta of
22, was responsible for all legali/es of the business, nancial repor/ng and building/maintaining solid government rela/ons at
the local, county, state and federal levels. ASer working a full day, I oversaw the night opera/ons 6 days a week un/l closing.
This work did not have a nega/ve eect upon my engineering responsibili/es evidenced by the promo/ons I received during
this /me. Sold the business to dedicate more /me with family.
CUSTOMER / VENDOR RELATIONS
I have learned the prac/cal wisdom of cul/va/ng a professional and mutually respecxul rela/onship with my customers and
vendors. It is well known that eld engineers replace parts un/l problem goes away, guessing which part solved the problem.
Generally, the engineering group receives only an incident report. I have found that through regular communica/on with eld
engineers, I could be`er understand what failure they observed and so could develop be`er designs. ( Company, University of
State Name, US Military Organiza/on )
I engage the fabrica/on vendors early on in the design process as a habit. In general, their personnel can provide advantageous
input which can reduce cost and /melines. Further by geyng their buy-in to the design and through regular communica/ons
with them, I am also able to nego/ate be`er terms and, oSen /mes, receive prototype parts/assemblies at low or no costs with
highly aggressive /melines. ( Company, University of State Name, US Military Organiza/on )
Project/ Product Life Cycle Management. Oversaw quality assurance of medical device design (RA/QA). Maintained
compliance with 510(k) submissions. Promptly completed Correc/ve Ac/ons/Preventa/ve Ac/ons (CAPAs). Design valida/on,
verica/on and reliability tes/ng. Development of lean manufacturing SOPs. Development of laboratory capabili/es. Developed
junior personnel in skills and knowledge resul/ng in four promo/ons.
