Engineered Resume Profile

CAREER SUMMARY:

My early career focused heavily on vehicle suspension engineering and vehicle dynamics while in recent years has added electrical and powertrain systems engineering. Recent roles include engineering consultant, engineering specialist, and program manager. Other key areas of engineering have included ESP, vehicle controls, and braking systems. Additionally I have extensive experience in manufacturing, testing, reliability, root-cause analysis, and corrective action. I have also managed a 4M motor sports budget, a twelve-person department, as well as government proposals for military applications.
