- Lead the design and development of test methods for Transfemoral Mitral/Tricuspid Valve Replacement Delivery Systems- Performed rapid prototyping, across an array of materials and designs for fixturing to aid in the characterization of devices and manufacturing processes- Managed external vendors to communicate technical requirements ensuring timely delivery and high component quality- Lead rigorous tolerance analyses and system-level process audits to increase yield and reduce supply chain complexity- Developed holistic anatomical models including integration of plastic injected components, electro-mechanical devices and sensors for the validation of component performance and to provide clinician training- Developed manufacturing methods to optimize processing and improve device performance while providing training and management to manufacturing teams- Managed and mentored engineers and technicians both domestically and internationally, communicating project priorities and provided technical leadership

Lead the Test Method and Verification strategy for the Optical and Motion Mechanics subsystems and their integration into high performance DNA sequencers and, in parallel, developed novel test tools & methods where current instrumentation was not available. Role included ownership of the test strategy from concept through manufacturing with responsibilities including: consulting in design to ensure testability and that key performance parameters are enabled, identification of critical parameters and developing DOEs to analyze, developing automated performance feedback for incoming/outgoing inspection, leading Design Reviews to convey critical activities and developments to greater team and acting as a Subject Matter Expert for the optical subsystem. Key Contributions: Designed and developed a novel test tool used in both the performance optimization of optical and motion stage alignment and the manufacturing characterization of incoming/outgoing submodules and instruments  Lead the development & implementation of the Optical Subsystem Test Method and Verification Strategy  Leading the development & Implementation of the XY & Z Motion Mechanics Test Method and Verification Strategy Authored assembly, test and analysis Work Instructions (WIs) for use in manufacturing  Drafted MATLAB and Python-Based analysis scripts to characterize and align optical and motion stage subsystems Collaborated deeply with external vendors to ensure purchases components met performance specifications Consulted with international manufacturing team (Singapore) to develop test and integration workflows to increase

Tasked with providing advanced troubleshooting repair and the development of novel procedures, data-driven computational feedback and best-practices to eliminate and reduce sources of systemic equipment variability and failures. Role included extensive hands on optical alignment and mechanical repair leading to an intimate knowledge base leveraged in developing better, more robust products. Provided support for the NextSeq, NovaSeq, HiSeq 3K/4K/X and MiSeq sequencing platforms.Key Contributions: Cross-team coordinator with instrument owners to translate failure phenotypes to root causes and then, ultimately, solutions or repairs Root cause investigation and identification into instrument reliability issues during development phase and helped to successful implement engineering solutions to resolve failure-modes Designed, Drafted and Deployed novel alignment procedure for breadboard test fixtures Organized and Coordinated cost savings efforts to increase monetary saving in the group, saving >$250K in 2017 Tracked and Maintained instrument fleet ‘Up’ time of >85% exceeding 75% goal
