Work Experience
Electro-Mechanical Assembler, SoilSoup, Seattle, WA 2003
Electro-mechanical assembly and test of equipment used in the
production of Liquid Compost.
Pratt & Whitney, Space Propulsion Operations, Chemical Systems
Division
San Jose, CA 1977-2002
Manufacturing Engineer 1998-2002
As a manufacturing engineer, I led a production team in the assembly
and test of mechanical and electro-mechanical components used in
igniters for the Space Shuttle Booster Separation Motor and the
Minuteman III Stage 3 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.
My responsibilities covered process safety management compliant to DOD
4145.26M Contractors' Safety Manual for Ammunition, Explosives and
Related Dangerous Material.
I was also responsible for quality control where I initiated
corrective actions when problems affected the quality of the product
and/or the quality systems. I also used Root Cause Failure Analysis
techniques to find chronic problems associated with manpower,
materials, equipment, procedures, or tooling.
Using drawings and specifications, I developed and maintained bills of
material and work instructions to support product flow through build
cycle.
Using Microsoft Project, I monitored and coordinated production
activities to meet schedule and budget constraints.
Working as a team leader and using Kaizen Lean Manufacturing methods,
I set up floor and equipment layouts to promote efficient product flow
through the various assembly operations.
Test Engineer 1993-1998
Developed and directed preparation and execution of comprehensive test
plans, procedures and schedules for electro-explosive components and
static tests of rocket motors.
Managed test facility capabilities, materials, and manpower in the
performance of static testing the Tomahawk, Space Shuttle Booster
Separation Motors and Minuteman III rocket engines.
Coordinated integrated testing activities with Safety, Quality,
Operations, Program Management, Government Representatives and
Customers.
Reviewed and evaluated test requirements to insure compliance to test
plans.
Provided technical direction and training for handling, assembly,
test, acceptance and troubleshooting of operational test equipment
used for destructive, non-destructive and rocket motor static tests.
Administered Process Hazards Analysis implementation for rocket motor
test stands.
Supervisor 1985-1993
Supervised operations of a rocket engine test facility.
Team leader for mechanical and instrument technicians.
Managed safety, quality, training, ordnance receiving, shipping,
storage, material handling, government tooling, manpower and
scheduling.
Served as liaison between Static Test Facility and Program Management,
Master Scheduling, Engineering, Safety and Quality Control.
Technician/Sr. Instrumentation Specialist 1977-1985
Using complex engineering test plans I supported rocket motor
operational checkout and final acceptance testing by setting up
specialized electronic test equipment, interconnecting and calibrating
data acquisition and control systems.
Performed simulated tests during which I operated test consoles, data
acquisition computers and control sequencers to demonstrate, record
and analyze data from instruments such as strain gages,
accelerometers, pressure gages, load cells, hydraulic control panels
and command and control systems.
Evaluated and recorded test data during operational checkout.
Diagnosed, located and troubleshot malfunctioning parts. Reworked or
repaired all instruments before electronic component tests and rocket
motor static tests.
Recommended changes to processes and procedures to improve test
methods and quality.
Operated cranes, forklifts and specialized handling fixtures.
Devised and assembled special test tooling.
Maintained and verified calibration status of all testing and
measuring equipment used in assembly and test.
