Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States

- Contract design, development, and manufacturing for medical device companies big and small- Lead engineer responsible for system- and component-level requirements flow, design, and testing- Advanced products from early feasibility through regulatory submission- Two provisional patent applications

Fridley, Minnesota

- Lead the mechanical early-stage development of a minimally invasive implantable device- Utilized Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA) to guide resource-allocation and decision making- Piloted a system-level virtual design environment to improve ability to leverage predictive engineering practices- Mentored one summer engineering intern and one.

Fridley, Minnesota

- Performed structural, thermal, and fluid analyses on early-phase development through post-market design changes- Evaluated performance and capability against design requirements- Optimized components and systems for improved performance and reduced manufacturing costs

Fridley, Minnesota

The goal of my project was to create and implement product optimization for robust design protocols. Verified and validated computational models (e.g. FEA) can be used to optimize design input parameters (dimensions, materials, properties, etc.) to best meet multiple objectives. In addition, design robustness drives high-quality, reliable, low cost.

Kalamazoo, Michigan Area

I was part of a year-long industry-sponsored design project on a multidisciplinary design project team (2 semesters & 1 summer internship). As a team, our goal was to reduce the stress and injuries for caregivers when laterally transferring patients.Semester before internship:- Interacted with EMTs, paramedics, and hospital lift teams to identify problem.

Ann Arbor, Michigan

I helped conduct side-impact cadaver testing as a student researcher with the goal to ultimately improve safety in car crashes.Responsibilities and skills:- Sample preparation and instrumentation- Data collection and analysis with Mathematica- Report writing
