In my role, I facilitate development of the Figure product roadmap by driving key architectural decisions, setting top level requirements and ensuring execution of the home + commercial vision. I also stay involved with the hardware team by driving structural optimization and validation work streams.

My team leads design, manufacturing and test of best in class humanoid robot battery technology. In addition to battery, we contribute to the development of a number of other mechanical systems within the robot.

Working on torso systems for next generation humanoid robots

Part of an awesome system product design team that owned the architecture for a next generation vision product.

Owned the implementation of a challenging sensor package with optical, mechanical and ergonomic considerations.

Contributed to design sprints of overall component and mechanism packaging to meet highly challenged and evolving industrial design requirements.

Built, managed, and led the pack product design team (6 direct reports) to develop the 9th and 10th generation battery pack assembly resulting in industry leading performance in volumetric and gravimetric packaging efficiency, mass, cost, and safety.

Facilitated pack team DRIs to design, release, and manufacture pack subsystems. This included 200+ total custom unique parts (each requiring 3D + 2D drawings and component manufacturing). Subsystems ranged from complex enclosure weldments, heat exchangers, cell stacks, cell monitoring boards, bus bars, trays, harnesses, power distribution assemblies, and battery management system PCBAs.

Worked with advanced manufacturing team and overseas vendors to develop novel components and final assembly manufacturing methods to complete the 9th generation pack builds.

Ensured design compliance with mechanical, electrical, thermal and environmental requirements via analysis, testing and model correlation.

Worked with broader team to optimize pack to product system integration and mechanical + electrical interfaces.
