Failure Analysis of both internal and external issues.Proof of concept experiments for new technology.

Senior Principal Systems Engineer (2013-2015)Developed an Impedance based localization system for a 3D cardiac mapping system. Responsible for system architecture, system integration, and verification testing of the first generation products.

Developed an extensible common system architecture for use in bench top instrument design.Created policies, procedures, and reusable modules to improve design throughput and product reliability.Investigated new technologies for use in protein analysis and contributed to analysis and electrochemistry modelling to resolve three major new product issues.Performed as the independent technical reviewer for flow cytometry, thermocyclers, electroporation, food safety testing, digital PCR, and other projects.Contributed algorithms and electronic design to 2 new products.

Designed system architectures for manual, semi-automatic, and automatted blood gloucose monitors for use in the ICU. Developed low noise electronics for near infrared interferometers and Bio-sensors and integrated these into instruments with a two channel infusion pump. Responsible for FMECA and compliance with 60601.

Lead an internal team of 14, guided an external Industrial Design house, maintained the Design History File, and developed the required regulatory documentation during the development of a new family of digital gamma cameras. Gathered requirements from across the company and developed the system architecture for the Cardius camera's.Responsible for a 5 fold increase in system reliability by performing root cause failure analysis, and guiding implementation of changes in: electronic design, mechanical design, manufacturing processes, testing, and shipping packaging.

Lead a team of 20 through the system integration and production rollout of military laser training system. Responsible for contract assember selection and ramp up for over 30 circuit boards. Trained staff engineers in ICT test development so that all boards where ICT tested with greater than 98% coverage.Saved $5 Million annually in production costs and $2 Million annually in users costs by developing a new system architecture and leading a team of 5 through rapid prototype, concept testing and final design.
