Dependable team player able to learn and accommodate the needs of all affected by a design from management and marketing through purchasing, manufacturing, assembly and service.

Experience:
EMPLOYMENT: LAI East – Westminster, MD…………………………………………………..’02-‘08
Manufacturing Engineer. Designed new tooling for abrasive water-jet cutters; Researched, justified and implemented changes to processing of on-going jobs; Supported maintenance by diagnosing machine problems (wear, crash damage, software bugs), Worked out repair schemes; De-bugged software and hardware of custom-built CNC laser tube cutting machine. After de-bug the tube cutter produced bearing cages straight w/in .000,5 inches cutting at 90 inches/minute. Designed and built auto-loader for bearing cages that reduced cycle time 25%.

United Container Machinery – (now part of MarquipWardUnited, Hunt Valley, MD)…………...‘97-‘01
Senior Engineer. Designed cost reductions and product improvements for corrugated box machinery (counter-ejector, folder, printer...). Served as project leader for projects involving 1-3 other designers. Average cost reduction job was 40% less expensive to manufacture and paid back its cost of engineering in seven builds. Re-design of counter-ejector’s interrupter increased its life from six months to “four years and still running” while reducing cost 20% and simplifying the control system. Frequently identified cost reduction opportunities that allowed fixes for chronic problems to be justified (financially) on cost savings alone.

M. S. Willett – Cockeysville, MD………………………………………………………..…………..‘96-‘97
Senior Engineer. Designed automated production machinery for metal stamping.
