Led layout development of North American highly automated delivery station with the goal of reducing headcount by 50%. Program achieved a 60% head count reduction while maintaining capacity and footprint parity to current station design baseline. Program required management of over 40 stakeholders to gather all required design inputs to create a single build to suit design capable of being constructed in any North American serviced metro area.

Pioneered the first 3D station design, developing comprehensive 3D visualizations for European and North American highly automated station layouts. Created a standardized component library to streamline future station designs and facilitate higher fidelity design validation.

Established design specifications and requirements documentation for the AMZL+ program achieving forward deployment of inventory to reduce customer delivery times.

Designed and managed material delivery system for unboxed assembly process consisting of 130 million in equipment to deliver body sides, battery, front, and rear major assemblies to the final assembly line for NV9 program

Responsible for RFQ, vendor down selection, and cost reduction analysis on all NV9 program related material handling equipment

Designed and led process trials for dry electrode production equipment including powder delivery system, safety guarding upgrades, and scrap material recycling and collection system.

Managed team of six design engineers supporting daily operations on four electrode production lines and responsible for design of twelve new lines of next generation equipment

Coordinated assembly and installation across multiple stakeholders to simultaneously commission four production lines within a six-month timeframe

Created robust and cost-effective designs throughout design cycle on large-scale automation projects

Responsible for root cause analysis and correction to active production lines in fast paced environment

Designed multiple high volume lean production cells including part placement, part installation, robotic handling, fixturing, and custom tooling

Worked to mitigate high risk areas of design on projects with heavily accelerated timelines

Created multiple in-house tools to shorten design time and increase department efficiency

Created mechanical design concepts for robotic automation and machine tool design

Responsible for design structural analysis to ensure product reliability

Conducted design failure testing and recommended design changes to improve quality
