•	Led mechanical design team for a new telemetry system, delivering a very robust design that passed all mechanical validation testing, including extremely difficult heat and dunk testing on the first pass.
•	Redesigned the intermediate pressure hose and the universal emergency breathing safety system (UEBSS) to meet the NFPA 2018 edition standards.
•	Created a new universal cylinder valve hand wheel with optional locking sleeve replacing six SKUs.
•	Ensured product compliance and assisted in obtaining NFPA and NIOSH/CBRN certification.
•	Solved a multitude of sustaining engineering issues during relocation of business from CA to SC.

Advanced Mechanical Design Engineer
Honeywell Safety & Productivity Solutions
https://www.linkedin.com/company/honeywell
•	Led design team/acting System Engineer for a new industrial SCBA; worked with end users, marketing and NIOSH standards to develop product specifications and a design validation plan.
•	Redesigned the first stage regulator and the intermediate pressure hose pneumatic/electric coupler to meet NIOSH and NFPA 2013 edition standards for a new SCBA platform.
•	Headed effort to identify and resolve EMI issues that were causing the personal alert safety system (PASS) to go into full alarm erroneously. This included identifying and consulting with field experts.
•	Worked closely with ISC and marketing to restart the production line and rapidly deploy field rework kits to replace a check valve that restricted airflow sufficiently (during buddy breathing) to cause the facepiece pressure of the receiver SCBA to go negative.

•	Delivered in record time, during the 2009 N1H1 flu virus pandemic, a new design for add-on air diverters for a popular APR half-mask that NIOSH was interested in stockpiling, but only with these new features. This enabled the company to win the bid and deliver over 100,000 units.
•	Collaborated on a major redesign/cost reduction project for the personal alert safety system (PASS), reducing the system cost by nearly $200 per unit.
•	Participated in design reviews and rapid problem-solving teams.
•	Identified and worked closely with suppliers to understand their capabilities and the limits of their processes; performed product/project cost estimation.

        I worked with Aaron on the new product development design team for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and as engineering manager of the group I came to rely heavily upon Aaron for handling critical design assignments and tackling complex design issues.  Aaron is a skilled design engineer, and his extensive mechanical design experience in machined metal alloy and injection molded plastic parts made him a capable choice for core elements of the SCBA.  Aaron’s design approach repeatedly contributed to his successful results and contributions.  Aaron takes a methodical, information-driven approach based on a full understanding of product and marketing requirements.  He shows great attention to detail and would drive collaboration with product management, production staff and the end user to ensure his design work was answering the true needs of the customer and effectively addressing ways to maximize ease-of-manufacturing, cost savings, serviceability and reliability.  Aaron works well in a team, readily providing his support when needed and lending his expertise to help drive success across the group.  He will be an asset to his future design teams.

        Aaron is highly experienced in Mechanical design, he's passionate about the products he has developed. 
 He has demonstrated innovative thinking, attention to detail and thoroughness in all his work, that is so vitally important in the SCBA products, when designing life safety equipment .  You can always count on Aaron to give 110% effort when just "good enough" is not OK.  When Aaron gives you some information or an update you can count on it being right.  He's always willing to go the extra mile, adapt and do what is needed for the team even if it's not directly his responsibility, as such he would be an asset to any team.
