What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead mechanical engineering and product development teams delivering compliant products from concept through validation, industrialization, and release.

At Jungheinrich Lift Truck, I lead mechanical engineers supporting electric forklift production and developing customer-focused design solutions, including a new truck line.

I guide product releases through stage-gate deliverables, validation testing, design reviews, and supporting documentation such as BOMs, service manuals, and Design History Files. I work closely with electrical, hydraulics, manufacturing, quality, software, vendors, and legal teams to deliver compliant products.

Previously at FMC Technologies, I developed global design guidelines and a product catalog for pipe and fittings, including calculations and compliance reviews against ASME, API, and DNV standards.

My background also includes medical product development at TE Connectivity, CATIA V5 instruction at Oregon Institute of Technology, and mentoring and hiring engineers. I bring hands-on product development experience across regulated electromechanical, industrial, and medical products.
