I'm a hands-on technical engineering leader and have developed and delivered over 25 mechatronic hardware products to market with experience in all product life cycle phases. My expertise and passion for leading system architecture, product development, and product optimization has been proven developing LiDAR imaging sensors and generations of server, HDD, and other cross-functional hardware products. Leadership track record includes bootstrapping a hardware startup and transforming several engineering organizations. LEADERSHIP:Teams: build, lead, and coach diverse high performing multi-national, multi-level engineering organizations with exceptional productivity and retention.Influence: analytical and innovative problem solver who drives technical and business decisions. Sought-after insights in all product life cycle phases by broad range of cross-functional leaders.Vision: strategic thinker, see trends and identify gaps, plan & prepare for coming change.Transformation: execute vision to optimize and transform, lead disruptive initiatives with corporate impact.TECHNICAL:Architecture: component and system design methodology to optimally trade-off cost, reliability, manufacturability, form factor, and performance metrics (dynamics, shock, vibration, acoustics, thermals, and rotor dynamics interactions).Lab Proficient: scopes, Bus and FFT analyzers, DAQ, structural testing, acoustics, laser vibrometry, shock testing, electrodynamic shaker exciters, HS video, environmental chambers, have built complete testing labs.Prod. Development: metals and polymers, surface treatments, coatings, finishes, manufacturing processes, 3D CAD, FEM/FEA, GD&T, tolerance analysis, DfX, FMEA, cleanroom and ESD standards, automation.Cross-Functional: mechatronic sensor, network appliance, HDD, power supply, fan tray, chassis, imaging sensor, camera assembly, motors, VCM, PCBA, MEMs, flex cable, tribology, QMS.
