Working on dynamic systems, consisting of gears, motors, bearings

• Led mechanical architecture and refined multiple electronics packaging concepts for the Node device, integrating PCBAs, overmolded enclosures, antennas, reflectors and IP68 sealing to withstand shock, vibration, and harsh environmental conditions

• Coordinated mechanical validation (drop tests, thermal cycling, vibration) and orchestrated fixture designs, ensuring compliance with MIL-STD-810 standards.

• Increased manufacturing yield by 75% through comprehensive root cause analysis and design improvements; unlocked $6.7M in additional annual revenue

• Drove DFM by collaborating with global contract manufacturers on tooling reviews, draft angles, and material flow analyses, delivering highly manufacturable products that exceeded quality and cost targets

• Collaborated with 2 mechanical engineers to design a complex machine from the ground-up containing dynamic, static, fluidic, thermal, optics, aesthetic and electronic parts/assemblies with a focus on quality and reliability

• Designed, prototyped and conducted root cause analysis on fluidic and thermal systems to drive mitigative design changes

• Managed 6+ overseas/domestic vendors and partners at a time from pre-concept to production

• Owned PVT build and ran assembly line bringup for the fluidic subassembly which includes product assembly tooling, fixtures and instructions

• Sensor system integration including pressure, thermistor, flowmeter

• Responsible for mechanical design of high-voltage energy products using mass manufacturing techniques such as injection molding, sheet metal bending, and extrusion

• Generated, evaluated and prototyped mechanisms to drive product decisions

• Validated mechanical concept designs using FEA analysis on SolidWorks

• Supported steady state and transient thermal analysis for thermal designs

• Leveraged Six Sigma Black Belt methodologies to design & manufacture both high and low volume pressure transducers

• Developed, authored and released/published engineering documentation including but not limited to standard operating procedures, product requirement documents, gap analysis, QFD, DFMEA, DOE, gauge R&R, root cause analysis and design validation reports

• Applied additive manufacturing solutions in the product development process that slashed project deadlines by 22%

• Performed engineering change orders (ECO) and released processes using PLM software
