PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCENovacap (Subsidiary of Knowles Corporation) Valencia, CA Senior Technician (Temporary Placement) 01/2014 – 06/2014 Maintained and documented calibration findings and results within the Novaworks system

that was used for all ISO audits as well being used as an efficient tracking system Documented new procedures for calibration processes for implementation into the company’s

procedures Researched specification requirements to calibrate equipment with the most effective method.

Novacap (Subsidiary of Dover Corporation) Valencia, CA 11/1998 – 01/2014Research & Development Manager (Quality Engineer) Wrote protocols for processes and testing, which were then validated.

Executed plans and specifications and validations processes for customer product. Improved quality on product lines thru design of experiments, six sigma and lean

manufacturing initiatives. Process validations using IQ, OQ and PQ, which were implemented and controlled. Review customer complaints, analyze returns and make recommendations for corrective

action. Analyzing and graphing all statistical data for quality control and process improvements. Implemented process procedures that were then strictly followed by all manufacturing

personnel. Liaison between managers, sales, engineers and other key personnel to implement and enforce

all new quality processes. Planning, scheduling and reviewing workload to ensure production output and on time

delivery targets are achieved. Product development adhering to strict tolerances and overall size requirements for final

module product assemblies. Conducted First Article Inspection to further review to customer criteria Supported and interfaced with project teams to deliver quality product. Root cause analysis and non-conformance reviews. Developed and refined quality assurance test procedures adhering to strict product guidelines. Identified nonconformance trends and investigated corrective action plans. Managed company’s inventory stock to make sure the inventory is accurate and transferred

correctly. Developed processing of materials in manufacturing to meet required customer product

specifications. Planning workload and scheduling and overseeing execution of the plan. Failure analysis performed on any and all abnormalities that occurred during manufacturing

processing. Directed and managed product testing and reliability with a testing staff. Implemented new test procedures that improved yield and eliminated customer field failures.
