Hi, I am looking for a new opportunity in S. Michigan.

I am an experienced Quality Engineer with extensive experience in the Automotive industry having worked in a manufacturing plant for a major Tier 1 supplier for 18 yrs.

I have a broad background in APQP, PPAP, PSO, Calibration, Measurement Systems, CMM's, IMDS, G,D, & T, Process Capability, SPC, Customer & Supplier Quality etc.

I have a Mechanical Engineering degree as well as Six Sigma Greenbelt, and just passed the CQE exam a couple weeks ago. :)

I am looking for another position in automotive as well as any other manufacturing operattion including medical and defense among others. Hoping to not have to relocate, so Ann Arbor, Lansing, Detroit metro area or Toledo is preferred.

Thanks, Rand
