About Dan Miller

Product, marketing and engineering professional looking for a new role!Currently I am a Manufacturing Manager for a small truck-bed style camper manufacturer in Bellingham, WA. On any given day I am providing shop crew direction and leadership, optimizing product tooling and equipment, or managing the product engineering enhancements.Before Hiatus, I worked for AMP Robotics, a high speed venture backed startup, as a remote Product Marketing Manager. I advanced the product placement, communication strategy, competitive landscape tracking, and customer promotion of the AI-based recycling robot products, while also empowering the sales team with sales enablement tools.Prior to AMP, I spent 9+ years with Hyster-Yale Group, a global leader in the manufacture of lift trucks, specializing in product management and engineering design roles. I lead new product launch programs, innovation skunk work projects, and product development projects to ensure success of current and future products. I excelled in developing product launch strategies, competitor technical evaluations, mechanical designs, and innovative thinking.Personally, I am an adventurer, builder, and biker who is constantly striving to squeeze every last drop out of life. If I am not mountain biking, lost on a back country road on a packed gravel bike, or pedaling hands-free on a commuter bike, you can find me designing, building and working on any DIY project.
