QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY
Ceramics Engineer with extensive, hands-on process/product engineering and
management experience in advanced materials manufacturing. Knowledge of
ceramic compositions, incoming materials controls, in-process and final
testing, characterization, powder processing and fabrication of technical
ceramics. Established composition-processing-properties relationships.
Experience working with high technology products for telecommunications,
defense/military, nuclear, medical, environmental industries and for
various stringent commercial applications.
EXPERIENCE
PRAXAIR CORPORATION, Danbury, CT (4/2010-8/2010)
Development Associate-OTM Membranes, Contract
Commercialization of gas membranes production. Interfaced between
Development Engineering and Manufacturing to scale up processes. Developed
QA/QC procedures (ISO9000) and Std. Operating Procedures. Managed
outsourced processes and various raw materials suppliers. Developed
production costing and managed technical tie-ups.
ITT Power Solutions, West Springfield, MA. 2005 - 2010
Mfg. Process Engineer-Scientific Detectors
Responsible for daily manufacturing of Ceramic Channel Electron Multipliers
and high precision thick film resistors. Developed several new and improved
processes (alumina, semiconductor glass, gold conductive paste and resistor
materials) as a part of continuous process improvement. Efforts were to
minimize production costs, detector noise, increase electrical gain and
control linearity to improve detector life and first pass yields.
- Developed multiple sources of key components-ceramics, glass, dielectric
materials and machined parts for production of Electron Multipliers and
thick film resistors.
- Developed and implemented improved and new production processes,
communicated through proper documentations (SOP, MWI, per ISO 9000).
- Coordinated daily activities such as procurement, engineering,
manufacturing and quality issues with the prototype development group,
ITAR/EAR compliance teams, materials suppliers and third party processes
and vendors.
- Trained and supervised line workers, Lab Techs, Shift Supervisors and Jr.
Engineers.
- Participated in daily non-conformance meetings on field returns, MRB,
MDR, CAPAR and global customer teleconferences (feedbacks on product
performances and new products introductions)
CORNING, INC., Corporate Engineering, Corning, NY, 1999-2003
Sr. Process/Project Engineer
Internal consultant for various in-house projects in Specialty Materials,
Fuel Cells, glass (LCD, PAR lenses) and ceramic catalysts. Provided
technical leadership in projects-planning deliverables and supporting
project teams. Responsible for on time project completion and within
budget. On-site projects (Germany, China, VA, OH and NC) were in the areas
of mfg. trouble shooting, process developments, quality/yield improvements
and new product introduction.
- Led a 'hole burning of glass lenses/reflectors' project that reduced 35%
process loss at customer when open flame was used in the filament assembly
process
- Upgraded an existing process to manufacture extruded 70-cell fixed
catalyst (TiW) product for NOx emission control. This increased business by
an additional $500,000
- Developed a shrinkage control algorithm in cordierite auto catalysts
extrusion for China plant protecting Intellectual Property rights of the
company.
TYCO ELECTRONICS/AMP (SCP Division), Elizabethtown, PA., 1996-1999
Ceramic Products Engineer
Managed the Ni-Zn ferrites extruded EMI/RFI electrical filter tubes
production. Supervised line workers, 2 process technicians and one Jr.
Engineer. Co-ordinated production of new planar GPS dielectric patch
antennas for GM On-Star locator program.
- Interfaced with Universities and National Labs to develop the process for
manufacturing of first generation of dielectric antennas.
- Innovated technical solutions and process optimization to attain exacting
product performance in the areas of dry-pressing, sintering, lapping,
screen printing of Ag electrode, final assembly and functional testing.
- Defined customer quality requirements and translated them into plant
manufacturing. Performed PPAP and FMEA for new product introduction.
Effectively communicated such activities with internal and external
stakeholders (Engineering, Procurement, Production,Testing and
Sales/Application groups)
- Consulted at various levels of national and international AMP groups on
new products and programs. This included EMI/RFI products, Varistors and
Resonator Dielectrics, PTC thermistors and next-gen miniaturized patch
antennas.
MORGAN MATROC/GBC Advanced Materials, Latrobe, PA., 1993-1996
Engineering Manager
Managed all activities of the Engineering Department-procurement,
production, quality control and customer engineering. Helped increase
company's business from $1.7 million/yr to $6.4 million/yr in three years.
Managed company's growth from 33 to 91 hourly personnel. Supervised and
maintained various production processes, data collection, analysis and
documentation controls, operator training records for ISO9000 requirements
- Technical lead on various product development and process optimization to
increase company's profitability by reducing variability. Coached and
trained Engineers, Process Technicians and 15+ production personnel
- Bench-marked various processes introduced several new products and
discontinued unprofitable product lines. Established and implemented
various quality standards to maintain high consistency in fabricating close
tolerance parts in high volume (95-98% alumina, steatite and pressed glass)
- Introduced reuse of coarse and fines from dry pressing glass and alumina
powders back into the spray drying slurry. 25% savings realized each time a
batch was processed.
