May 1996-Oct 2000 CONTRACT ENGINEERING POSITIONS Wentworth Laboratories Locate a laser system and develop procedures to produce micro holes in materials used to locate chip testing probes. Travel to England to qualify system. PDC Design and detail equipment and components sleeve packaging machines. Producto/Moore Tool Upgrade existing machines, work on a new generation jig borer, and automatic tool changer

Conceived a semi-automatic test strip insertion machine and blister package designs for Duracell Asian market as a project manager responsible for build through production running. Selected the machine builder. Approved PLC control logic. Spent two months in Hong Kong to qualify a blister manufacturer, install machines, and train personnel. Project completed on time and in budget. - Conceived and led project to develop a machine to continuously slit rolls of plastic material printed with an interrupted block pattern into 26 strips, cut the strips to length on the fly, test and reject defective parts, and stack good parts by lane. Machine programmed for 4 styles and automatically adjusted itself to the selected style. Specified and approved PLC controls and programming

Managed concept, design and development of an automatic blister packaging and shipping carton filling system for Cutex nail polish bottles. Coordinated machine building operations between East and West coast manufacturers and a Midwest plant. System installed and debugged during one week plant shutdown on time, in budget. Result was no empty or partially filled box shipments and one operator versus seven prior to automation. Approved PLC and loci. - Improved efficiency from 50% to 98% and reliability from 90% to 100% on a 60 ppm membrane tester via redesign of controller logic, part sensing, feeding, tooling, good/bad part selection/separation, and guards. Machine maintenance was reduced by 75%. - Automated Aziza cosmetic case hot stamping machine with a part feeder/unloader and new nests. Covers were no longer being scratched, registration errors were eliminated, set up time and tooling were reduced to one fourth of their original values. Used one operator versus four prior to automation. STEPHEN Page 2 of 4 - Conceived and managed the design of an automatic machine to improve setting accuracy of mechanical watch timing mechanisms to one second accuracy or less a month at a rate of 20 per minute with a deviation between watches of sigma. Prior specification was 2 minutes per watch and 5 seconds per month. - Redesigned tooling for membrane burst test machines to achieve consistent test results with a 75% reduction in load/unload time. Additional benefits were faster, easier tooling changeover and no damaged tooling. Rewrote PLC control program. - Designed tooling/fixtures for inserting.007 thick battery test strips into blisters. Wrote the service and operational manuals. Traveled extensively overseeing fabrication, installation, startup of equipment, and training personnel. Approved PLC logic. - Designed equipment to manufacture syringes. Worked on new syringe concepts. Designed concept tooling/machines to manufacture suture needles. Concept ideas to drill holes for suture insertion
