Hayward, California, United States

• Manage three product stability studies by coordinating product builds / storage / testing, spearheading cross-functional communications during protocol / report drafting, and handling raw data / protocol exceptions
• Implement manufacturing process improvements through the validation of new equipment and processes including automated deionization, increased diluent formulation batches, new CDA compressors, etc.
• Investigate the root-cause of process related nonconformances to identify and implement corrective actions
• Perform statistical reviews of product test attributes using Minitab to ensure product quality compliance
• Utilize change controls to oversee product launches, process improvements, etc. in a quality record system

Campbell, California, United States

• Redesigned and sourced fixturing used for mitral valve fatigue testing and nitinol wire shape-setting
• Ran and analyzed AWT test to compare fatigue characteristics between various mitral valve prototypes
• Developed early documentation forms for engineering builds, processing instructions, bench tests, etc.

Santa Clara, California

• Modeled and documented tortuous blood vessel designs used for vascular device testing by clinicians
• Converted handcrafted wax models of blood vessel cores into 3D printed vessel cores using SolidWorks
• Devised a way to center the cores in fabrication molds, enabling consistent part to part lumen diameters

Santa Clara, California

• Prototyped 3D printed models to simulate the various severities of a Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO)
• Tested, refined, and validated CTO components with the help of clinical engineers, and eventually the Chief Medical Officer, to ensure that the models were anatomically correct and clinically relevant
• Provided the framework for competitive product performance and guidewire differentiation in CTOs

Menlo Park, CA

• Established a method to enable the 3D scan of transparent hearing aids using a talcum powder spray
• Compared 3D scans of hearing aids against clinical ear impressions, enabling a QC check for proper fit
• Characterized device manufacturing steps to determine where proper fit deviations could occur
