Led mechanical design and validation for Mill's Food Recycler devices - with focus on architecture, enclosures, and plastic parts/assemblies, from concept to mass production.

𝗡𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗲𝗻 (𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮):

• Owned multiple subsystems from EVT through launch - buttons, light ring, waterproofing, and antenna/RF integration. Drove root cause analysis, corrective actions, and design refinements to ensure manufacturability, reliability, and a confident ramp to mass production.

• Defined and validated tactility of waterproof button, aligning UX, ID, and Ops on user interaction standards. Improved consistency, yield, and long-term reliability via mechanical and material design.

𝗡𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗺 𝗪𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 (𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟭):

• Drove critical failure analysis, corrective actions, and validation during DVT-to-PVT stage. Coordinated across engineering, quality, factory ops, and supply chain teams to resolve MP blocking issues.

𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬):

• Designed a multifunctional speaker module, which also served as the main heat sink, electrical ground, and assembly chassis. Optimized design across ID form factor, thermal, audio, and EE/RF/Antenna needs.

𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗩 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 (𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬):

• Owned full mechanical design of handheld device from concept through prototype builds. Defined interaction points for optimal ID/UX, via quick iterative prototypes and demos.

• Responsible for tooling release of all mechanical parts, including highly cosmetic enclosures
