About Kiel Brown

30 years of problem resolution and root cause analysis, Design and Development Engineering and reliability testing. Great experience in Automotive Interiors and DFMEA creation and analysis. I believe my 30 years of experience in the automobile industry uniquely qualify me for most Quality and Design Engineering positions. I have encounter numerous issues that had to be resolved to get a product to market or to improve the product already in the market. This gives me a great advantage over people that lack that experience and allows me to analyze situations and root cause issues at a fast pace. I have designed parts and taken them from an idea to a prototype to an actual production part.
