Employment history/Work experiences

NI Hungary Ltd. Debrecen, subsidiary of National Instruments Co.

2012 Január – ... Senior Product Engineer and Project Manager- My first task was a brand new product implementation. I was the program manager in Mfg who coordinated the Mfg support engineers and operation staff during the project. My goal was that during the prototype runs gave feedback and suggestion to RnD team in Austin to make the product more cheaper and easier produce. The production process of the product contains SMT, hand Assy and test operation steps. The date of the product introduction for customers was strictly defined by marketing, and of course we had to solve all problems and issues until that time. The product was presented on the annual customer event in Austin. We had to design several Mfg fixtures, like assy fixtures or other tools, that was coordinated by me.- My main task is product transfer coordination and project management. My biggest project was the product transfer to Hungarian facility because of the shutdown of the mfg site at headquarters. I transferred more than 300 products within 9 months that was 5 months earlier the planned shutdown and project close, which resulted significant cost save for Mfg organization. I worked with 50 people during the project. The biggest challenge was the coordination of the people at sender site, who knew their not positive prospect after the project. My further subtask under transfer is to give suggestion and scenarios the management about which products we need to transfer or pull back between facilities in

Malaysia and Hungary. All of these was considered based on grow, tolls and equipment, capacity, transfer and investment, technology and RnD attendance at the particular site.- My third task in this position is RF product transfer and implementation during an acquisition. The main challenge was the time, because I got 2 months for the transfer. These products required absolutely new and different technology than NI had before on assy and test side, otherwise the acquired company has different production and documentation system. During the project I have had to coordinate the production cell design and building, equipment transfer and purchasing, knowledge transfer, finance and custom support, head count planning and the communication between the two company.

2011 May - … Back_End Process Engineering ManagerI crated the BackEnd Process team and I was responsible the process and technology management of the assembly, test and final inspection areas in production. The team built up by 25 engineers. My main task to found the process engineer team from the old Value team and integrate the necessary process and industrial engineering knowledge. Furthermore I have made the fusion of the test and process engineering team into one organization and sync the tasks and responsibilities of the two teams. In this position I could try my new knowledge from MBA like, knowledge management of engineers, human and resource management of the team (cost center, carrier, information, people development and reviews). With these new knowledge I reached the 86% engagement and satisfaction level in the team. My biggest project is the BackEnd area reengineering, based on Lean thinking and it contains the vision of the possible layout of the manufacturing and construction, the strategy of the process flow(material, product, information), technology definition, process optimization, quality, quantity and efficiency metrics and targets definition. Project management based on DMAIC method from Six Sigma. With the new way of the production and improvements I could handle 20% volume increase without and headcount investment. From test engineering point of view, I created some new metrics to measure the quality of the problem solving, solution and exploration of the recurrent failures, lead the and on time delivery of the new test system implementation, and the return benefit of the continuously improvement of the test systems. I could reduce the number of the daily problems by 30% with the recurrent failures reductions and improvements on test systems.

2010 August – 2011 April Value and Manufacturing Test Engineering ManagerNew role to reorganize the manufacturing test engineering and create the vision and define the strategy of the team for the new tasks in the future. The biggest challenge was to increase the engagement and satisfaction of the team, but it was a successful project. The result jumped from 50% to 68%.

2008 August – 2010 August Value Engineering ManagerThe team is a continuously improvement team to increase the efficiency of the production and reduce cost of the production. Furthermore improve the quality of the products and processes of the production. In this position I had a chance to improve my people management skill, and got know and use the different quality management tool. Otherwise I could work with management to got more experience and because of this I had started the MBA course at the Budapest University to get more knowledge about the professional management technics. During this time I am working in a Lean foundation team to change the thinking of the organization.

2006 January – 2008 July Tech Lead of the FVT(Functional Verification Test) development team.Coordinate the NPIs (New Products Implementation) and the projects of test engineers in the test development team. Managing the test SW and HW development projects and develop, improve test code for products. Furthermore give technical support for engineers during the test development projects. In this time period I was acting as FVT development team manager also for 6 months and I had to work so close with the RnD engineers and managers in US. In this period I had chance to improve my people and project manager skills.

2005 February – 2005 December, FVT(Functional Verification Test) test support team lead.Coordinate the FVT support team. The team contained 20-25 people, technicians and engineers. I was responsible for coordination of the production support on the test area. I had daily contact with the management, production and planning, because of the priority set of the business. In this position I was able to do technical and people and performance management roles. I planned and coordinate the budget of the team.

2004 October – 2005 February, National Instruments Co. (Texas Austin) I was on a technical and leader training course at the headquarters in US. During this time I transferred products to Hungary and developed functional tests for a couple of products with the RnD teams.

2004 Jun – 2004 October, FVT(Functional Verification Test) test engineer.My main tasks were to support the production and handle the daily problems on the shop floor. Furthermore I had to keep the contact with the Test development engineers in US.

2003 September – 2004 Jun, Intern.I was intern in test engineering. I was working on my thesis and production issues with test engineers.
