Objective:
Technology Development Management / Technical Program Management
Results-oriented senior engineering manager with 25+ years of experience
in product design, program management, thin film and mechanical
process, software development, and test engineering functions. Strong
project management skills throughout product development lifecycle.
Proven ability to generate revenue, control expenses, and manage an
organization of 50+ scientists, engineers, and technicians. Expertise
in developing high-tech thin film magnetic recording head technology,
semiconductor devices, system integration and manufacturing
processes. Hold five patents; member of IEEE.
Experience:
Storage Technology Corporation, Louisville, CO 1995 - 2005
$2 billion company specializing in enterprise storage systems,
software and services started in 1969 by four ex-IBM engineers.
Company was recently purchased by Sun Microsystems.
Consulting Engineer / Manager (2000 - 2005)
Managed entire engineering organization with four direct and 50+
indirect reports. Directed product design, thin-film, mechanical, and
test process development, manufacturing engineering support
(offshore), and technical program management.
Accomplishments:
* Managed successful design, development, and release to
manufacturing of seven recording head products over a period of five
years, including internal Storage Technology and external OEM
products.
* $20 million saved per year by completing engineering transfer and
offshore outsourcing of production to two manufacturing facilities in
China.
* Patented a method of putting an additional pattern in the thin
film wafer process, saving magnetic-set time in the mechanical
process and allowing for finished head-level rework as required.
* $375,000 in additional revenue gained by improving System
Integration Yield (SIY) at HP's production site from 88% to 97%,
increasing allocation by 10% for OEM product.
* Grew OEM revenue from zero to $12 million annually over four
years by designing and developing products to successfully win market
share from existing suppliers.
Advisory Engineer (1995 - 2000)
Recruited from IBM to manage 9840 thin film recording head project,
Storage Technology's first internally developed tape drive product
not copied from an IBM design. Accountable for design, process
development, test system development, manufacturing, testing, and
product release. Also worked with Advanced Channel group for one year
to develop electronics for handling data within tape data systems.
Accomplishments:
* $900 million in revenues produced in first 18 months of 9840 tape
drive launch, which became Storage Technology's largest selling
system ever.
* Developed patented method of producing dual-sensor thin film
heads with 90%+ yields.
* Used computer modeling to identify cause of poor system-
integration yield with early dual sensor heads.
IBM Corporation, Tucson, AZ 1980 - 1995
$5 billion Storage Systems Division with 25,000 employees. Worked at
development laboratory in Tucson in the Tape Products development
organization. Head manufacturing operation recently sold to Hitachi.
Advisory Engineer, Tucson, AZ (1993 - 1995)
Program Engineer for development of thin film recording head design
used in IBM MagStar tape storage system. Designed recording head,
performed testing and systems integration analysis, and led
manufacturing transition to San Jose.
Accomplishments:
* Led development of recording head for first new IBM tape storage
system in eight years, able to store more than 10 times the data on a
cartridge compared to previous product.
* Saved company $500,000 to $1 million in potential field
replacement costs by inventing a cost-effective, patented, integrated
resistor to solve the high incidence of damaging electrostatic
discharge events within sensor-still used in production of current
generation of IBM MagStar product.
* Devised method of individual track gradation in head test as a
compromise between drive performance and recording head yield.
Senior Engineer, Dallas, TX (1988 - 1993)
Worked as Physicist in IBM's National Engineering and Scientific
Support Center in Dallas, providing support to customers on use of
IBM computing systems and applications.
Accomplishments:
* Instituted traveling demonstration of IBM's new AIX UNIX-based
RISC system at national labs to introduce AIX to
scientific/engineering community, illustrate IBM system performance
capability, and gain acceptance for use of IBM equipment for
technical use. In two years, presented demonstrations in 12 national
laboratories and six major universities.
* Pioneered the concept of workstation clustering for numerically
intensive computing in labs and universities, introducing a viable
alternative to DEC/SUN installations.
* Created first class for IBM marketing representatives on the use
of technical computing in physics applications.
* Conducted traveling seminars to selected national labs on
parallel computing topics.
Advisory Engineer / Staff Engineer, Senior Associate Engineer,
Tucson, AZ (1980 -1988)
Played a role in restarting new thin-film facility for the purpose
of developing first new tape-storage system
Accomplishments:
* Designed film process for the first magnetoresistive recording
head used in the industry.
Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX Prior to 1980
World leader in digital signal processing and analog technologies.
Process Engineer
* Developed processes and test methodologies for the fabrication of
specialized radiation-hardened transistors and thyristors used for
military applications.
