Worked on all phases of the design of the Heliscope Single Molecule DNA Sequencer. Contributed to initial science development by testing and developing hardware for prototype sequencing platforms. Co-designed optical sub-assemblies and demonstrated proof-of-concept at alpha level. Executed environmental and time to failure tests and mined and analyzed run log data to determine optimal operating conditions and parameters. Tested new components including lasers and cameras for potential performance improvements and cost reduction.Developed alignment and assembly procedures and transferred them to manufacturing. Provided field service engineering support for internal and customer-owned instruments and performed continual failure analysis and debugging.

Developed optical hardware for new real-time PCR instruments by designing lenses and selecting components including filters and detectors. Tested individual components and built and tested complete prototypes. Transitioned new products from engineering to manufacturing and provided continuing support after product release.

Designed lenses and optical systems for consumer products including image capture devices, disposable cameras, and toys. Programmed optical metrology hardware automation routines for measurement and data collection.
