Quality Assurance ¡K Research & Development ¡K. Engineering Technician
Capable of immediate impact on organizations issues with respect to coordinating and implementing quality and engineering programs designed to support research and development, product development, production, documentation, process development/implementation and manufacturing operations.
Summary of Qualifications
Associates Degree with extensive and professional experience in quality assurance, product development, research and development, technical support, in-process and final production analysis and inspection. Proven track record for increasing operational efficiency, generating cost savings and contributing to company profits. Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams, manage and coordinate complex projects. Implemented policies and procedures with respect to process engineering, new product development, laboratory operations, OSHA compliance, and safety procedures. Able to interface with all levels of an organization, to lead, to motivate and to get the job done.
Expertise and Knowledge in areas such as:
- Quality Assurance - ISO 9001 Documentation - Customer Service/Relations
- Project Leadership - Technical Support - Vendor Relations
- Product Development - Technology Assessment - Logistics/Support
- Manufacturing/Production - Training & Education - Cost Controls
- Research & Development - Inspection/Analysis - Safety/Hazardous Waste Programs
Selected Accomplishments
Managed the complete renovation of a wet lab. With a staff of approximately 24 people using this chemistry lab, the task of doing a complete modernization was daunting. Electrical, heating, cooling and plumbing systems were changed. Flooring was redone. All new lab furniture and benches were brought in. Worked with the R&D Director to insure we stayed within budget. After 6 weeks of hard work the entire laboratory looked great and stayed within budget.
Increased production significantly and resolved a major problem with production in that I discovered a process flaw that allowed the fabric to be skewed while the machine was running. After maintenance fixed the problem, that loom stopped having a defect that was found in the fabric for months prior.
Organized and Implemented a safety program in a laboratory that was not up to OSHA standards. Implementation of these new measures led to no written or verbal OSHA complaints when the laboratory was inspected. Having an excellent safety record means increased profitability, via lower insurance premiums, for the company.
Co-authored 2 U.S. patents for unique inkjet coating inventions. Utilized DOE (Design Of Experiments) to perform vast arrays of testing platforms. This allowed my product manager and me to keep within a path of development, and not stray towards wasteful and time consuming lab testing.
