Senior Mechanical EngineerEngineering Leadership TeamTest Cell Busines Unit - Production IntegrationI am a Senior Mechanical Engineer with extensive Product Development and Project Management experience. I am a conceptual thinker who understands the complete product design and development life cycle. I have proven ability integrating complex mechanical systems, and have led multi-disciplined teams to ramp products from prototype to high volume manufacturing for the market.I am a practical hands-on engineer with an “everything has room for improvement” mentality.As part of a leadership team, I manage product development projects by coordinating both internal and external team members to provide innovative solutions for our customers.I manage schedule and project tasks for individuals from many disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, thermal, manufacturing, test development engineering, product support, and planning.I supervise external vendor resources and manufacturers contributing catalog and special custom outsourced products to our designs.I specify design constraints and requirements, conceptualize system architectures for the products we develop, and influence the system architectures of external vendor solutions.I have led projects from the ground up, from verifying customer and market requirements, through concept development, engineering, detail drafting, machining, prototype build, and life cycle design verification to deliver them to production. I have reliably managed projects that included structural design and analysis of the ATE test head mechanical docking, the handler or prober interface circuit board, the electrical contactor, airflow and thermal management systems, electrical signal delivery, and test communications. I lead global multi-disciplined project teams to meet design requirements, schedule, and cost targets.

Mechanical Engineer for this paper converting machinery manufacturer.I led design and manufacturing teams as Project Engineer for four machine models for this OEM paper converting machinery manufacturer. These machines were large scale industrial roll fed paper web, or single sheet fed glue lamination and binding systems for game boards, hard cover book bindings, and paper box products. The designs involved heavy structural conveyor systems, semi-automatic material transfer systems, and electronic controls. I designed and developed machinery from customer requirements, coordinated new designs, created revisions, cost-down redesigns, bills of material, electrical and pneumatic schematics, and parts manuals. I installed and serviced machinery internationally and trained operators worldwide for greater product yield.

Project Engineer - Embolectomy Catheter Production LineI led a team that took the design of an embolectomy catheter production line from concept to start up in six months. The design of the prototype catheters included material specification, molding, embolectomy balloon manufacture, adhesive bonding verification, ink pad transfer printing, and assembly processes for medical approvals.

Haverhill, Ma

Assistant Engineer, Co-Op PositionI designed test machinery and processes that collected structural data on Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) catheter balloons. My balloon specific failure testing and evaluation was the gate that delivered proven quality designs to production.
