Manufacturing Technician
CurrentI work closely with the engineering team as the lead technician to build custom, automated laboratory systems that enable the transfer of well plates/media between different instruments. I oversee the systems that are being built, and ensure that delivery deadlines will be met. Routinely write ECOs and BOMs, as well as track any issues with received parts from vendors. Modifying stock parts as required for the build using various machine shop tools is done often with each system. I work daily in Solidworks, using it as a reference to build the system as well as bring up any design concerns with the engineering team. Pinpoint areas where efficiency could be improved and execute the required steps to take to make the change
