Leading a cross-functional product development team creating an ecosystem of extrodinary digital and interconnected products and experiences for Ford’s third generation of electric, software-defined vehicles.

Led a mechanical engineering product design (PD) team responsible for R&D in a new product space for the company, incorporating new technologies, including actuators and mechanisms.

Collaborated with Apple’s Industrial Design (ID) team to establish a stable product concept meeting size, mass, power, and human-factors requirements.

Collaborated extensively with Business/Operations and manufacturing engineering to reduce cost of product concept by greater than 50%.

Developed systems and modules from early specifications to low-volume production to support Autonomous System / AI software development.

Collaborated with display and optical engineering on early augmented/mixed reality experiences and technology demonstrators that seeded Apple Vision Pro product development.

Product design lead for modules and sub-systems in the following areas: Sensors for autonomous systems, mmWave system design, optical depth sensing technologies, ruggedization, thermals and harsh environment reliability, User experience and interaction, Augmented / Mixed Reality, Looks-like/Feels-like Experience prototyping
