Working to help realize and certify automated driving for Big Rigs.

I am one of only a few SW TPMs in the Meta WEARABLES team, and times are exciting with many SKU's on the horizon.

• Typical day is aligning xfunctional teams, DRIs, SW Devs and HW/EE engineers on HW arrival schedules, SW bring up releases to support said builds at all milestones (P1, P2, DVT) and navigate the issues and keep all stakeholders apprised of the status at all times.

• The Manufacturing side of my job requires me to stay in constant communication with my vendor teams in Asia, and make sure I keep then on schedule as well as aligned with the "plan" which changes quite often.

• This position demands great awareness, great communication, and always having a plan B to keep the wheels in motion.

• As a Sr. Program Manager @ Zollner Electronics, I was the main point of contact for the 2nd largest account in the company, a leader in the autonomous driving arena.

• Under my tenure I saw the business grow from 5M to 13M, which helped Zollner to expand to a 2nd factory in the US, with more on the way.

• My customer had very challenging HW, and at first yields were low, but with constant reviews, QA monitoring, and employing subtle changes in both mfg and handling, we were ale to improve our yield into industry standard levels.

• My focus and special sauce is my ability to organize and run multiple projects simultaneously all while achieving impeccable on schedule deliverables. As a member of a small but disciplined team, our strength is our ability to move quickly and do what it takes to get the job done. We are a small but nimble and creative bunch.

• Delivered 8 Enerstations as pilot products to customers throughout the world. These included such large customers as Duke Energy, Sonnell Power Solutions, Schlumberger SLB, NREL, etc.

• Worked as part of the NPI team to bring up the next generation of ESV (Energy Storage Vessel) BMS (Battery Management System) for power grid customers in the 1500VDC Energy Space, Code Named MK6.

• Sole procurement source within my group managing the completion and auditing of BOMs, Procurement of materials, tracking of materials and the sourcing and kitting of the Proto Builds within the PE Team.

• Project Managed multi-discipline groups within the Product Engineering Team: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Quality Engineering, Firmware Engineering, and Certification.

• Oversaw and Managed all incoming pre-production inventory from Chinese CM. Organized and managed revision changes as proto units were evolving quickly.

• Host multiple weekly con-calls with internal Design Groups: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Quality Engineering, Firmware Engineering, and Certification.

• As a Sr. Studio Project Manager @ Lucid Motors, I oversaw and managed Showcar builds, Retail and Marketing exhibits and engagements, special projects, CMF studio requirements and builds, Interior Design group builds/interior clay bucks, Clay Studio: both scales and full sized outdoor clay reviews, Aero Team test bucks, as well as managed budgets and procurement for all projects through the Design Studio.

Key Accomplishments:

• Delivered first 5 Showcars to the very first 5 Retail Studio grand openings. (Beverly Hills, Valley Fair, Miami, Palm Beach and Torrance).

• To date have opened 12 retail studios in North America (West, Mid-West, and East Coast), and preparing to go international (EU, Middle East).

• Managed the building and logistics of Virtual Reality simulation bucks for every Retail Studio as well as Motor, MPB, Battery, Charger and Speedform exhibits. Also managed the design and roll out of Marketing “Pop Up” displays for both US and European markets.

• Project Managed 9-month Mobile Showroom RV build up for traveling sales “Road Shows” out of classic 1985 Airstream 345 Motorhome.

• Oversaw the management and procurement for multiple Interior Design, CMF, Ergo and UX seated bucks for Air and SUV Project Gravity.

• Hosted multiple weekly con-calls with internal Design Groups: (Studio Hard Modeling, Retail, CMF, Interior Design, Aero Team, Clay Studio, Trim Shop, Special Projects, etc). Since January I have run all projects through studio except for Showcars (since production is now underway on AIR)

• Submitted new design ideas to the Design and Engineering Battery Teams that may be patented and marketed for future Lucid branded products.

• Participated in the procurement and buildup of Nürburgring Hyper-Car “Widebody” project that will be going after the sedan world record.
