Worked as an engineering consultant for Surgilum. Worked on various projects in all stages of design.Performed patient risk analysis and calculations for a complex optical system including a laser and diffractive optical element.Defined product critical aspects and created product performance specifications for a handheld ophthalmic surgical device, as well as a first-of-it's-kind surgical illumination system.Developed user interface for a handheld surgical device, and designed a circuit to meet the user interface requirements (circuit included laser, multi-color LEDs, microcontroller, accelerometer, and power supply).Developed a product mechanical assembly and CAD model for a handheld surgical device from the conceptual stage through to the detailed design/prototyping stage.Refined detailed design attributes and performed numerous trade-off analyses for a product assembly, including trade-offs between size, weight, aesthetics, reliability, cost, performance, patient experience, safety (and fail-safety), accuracy, and manufacturability.Created numerous mechanical and electrical prototypes, with machining, 3d printing, and soldering.Managed an in-house production team in the manufacturing and insert molding of single use disposable battery-powered surgical devices.Improved product manufacturing methods to increase manufacturability and lower costs of an existing product.Performed numerous quality inspections of manufactured and molded parts to ensure compliance with product requirements.Developed, prototyped and refined a test fixture for quick and intuitive assessment of manufactured part performance.Conducted numerous feasibility analyses on potential products, and documented results. Acted as a project manager for a handheld ophthalmic surgical device used for accurate placement of marks on a patients cornea, and managed all aspects of the product development.Ate tons of pizza and told lots of jokes. Kudos to you for reading all of that.
