•Troubleshooting of CT X-ray scanners and performed periodic maintenance on the machines at various county and private hospitals.• Designed and machined various aluminum/steel components (using 3axis HAAS Mill) necessary for their use on CT scanners as well as mobile CT trailers.• Assisted in the installation/deinstallation of numerous CT scanner systems to various hospitals/medical clinics.

• Senior Mechanical Engineer responsible for assisting the manufacturing and development of a light adjustable cataract lens, overseeing machining processes, and providing hands-on time sensitive production floor support.• Designed and validated custom fixturing and new cleaning process to triple lens mold cleaning throughput.• Developed and validated a plasma activation haptic surface treatment method to replace a costly/laborious priming process.•Assisted in development of an automated haptic cutting fixture utilizing Arduino micro-controller for cleanroom use.• Validated a custom optical inspection machine for the optical and UV transmission measurements of an adjustable lens.

• Tasked with developing method to reliably and consistently deploy a blood glucose sensor into human skin.• Developed a Matlab controlled test fixture and ballistics gel model to fire the device at controlled velocities into gel/simulated tissue to test different sensor/lancet design combinations effect on successful sensor implantation. • Ballistics gel test setup allowed the sensor insertion to be captured via high speed video, while being able to set/monitor the insertion velocity as well as measure the forces of sensor penetration and lancet removal through the synthetic tissue.• Developed a test method to detect the oxygen transmission rate through device for purposes of developing a confined sterile internal cavity.

• Project manager of numerous design and process improvement projects, while supervising other Engineers and interns.•Developed new processes for new/existing products involving UV cure adhesives, CNC Laser Welding (metals/plastics), Ultrasonic Welding, CNC/ Swiss Screw machining, automated machines.•Perform process validations of automated and CNC/EDM machining equipment, injection molds, and manufactured components using IQ, OQ, PQ and PPQ.•Perform Test method validations of existing and new functional testing fixtures.•Provide engineering support to diagnose, troubleshoot and resolve production issues.•Write test protocols and reports in compliance with ISO 9001 quality management system.•Perform root cause analysis for non-conformance reports and returned units from customers.•Work with many inter-disciplinary teams and manufacturing areas within the company.• Strong ability to troubleshoot technical problems involving manufacturing equipment or product design related issues.• Utilized Solidworks for designing fixtures (including custom CNC machining fixtures) as well as component design work.

•Assisted engineers in the field by helping troubleshoot CT X-ray scanners and performed periodic maintenance on the machines at various county and private hospitals.•Performed testing on CT-Scanner X-Ray tubes to determine if they could be fixed in house.•Assisted with inventory management, packaging and delivering parts, paperwork handling and answering phones.

•Gained experience around CNC machines and input part drawings in CAD using Mastercamm so that they could be machined.

•Earned Class B license with passenger endorsement to transport university personnel around UCSD and the greater San Diego area.
