Fridley, Minnesota, Us

Hardware team lead. Execution of prototype device builds. Project technical planning. Oversee two technicians, and three engineers.

Draper, Utah, Us

Led the development of a novel wireless guidewire for interventional cardiology, responsible for stakeholder, user, and design input requirements, as well as FMEA, risk mitigation (per ISO14971), instrumentation specifications, and design reviews as part of an ISO13485 QMS (21 CFR 820.30 Design Controls).▶ Principal systems architect of a cardiac intravascular guidewire that leverages data from a large number of sensors to improve doctor efficiency and patient outcomes.▶ Developed a novel application of single-wire capacitive power transfer to continuously energize sensors and transmit data during catheter exchanges.▶ Designed hardware and wrote firmware for a prototype multi-channel pressure amplifier to validate sensor performance, securing two patents around guidewire and catheter design and manufacturing.

Led a cross-functional team of 14 engineers, technicians, and installers responsible for building automated systems and IoT devices designed to improve the lives of customers, employees, and strategic partners.▶ Executed clean-sheet, design-to-delivery of three embedded systems projects consisting of interacting industrial PC’s running Python with several types of sensors, multiple actuators, and UI.▶ Performed functional safety analyses (assign SIL value) of designs using hazard analysis and risk assessments, per IEC61508, EN13814,ASTM F24, and ISO17842.

Tulsa, Ok, Us

Rearchitected a $60M inline inspection (ILI) platform in order to maximize uptime and minimize risk, and led root cause failure analysis of existing products in order to bolster market share and boost profitability.▶ Implemented Lean Six Sigma management practices that enabled R&D teams to release the first ever ILI tool on-budget and on-schedule.▶ Fostered inclusivity across the design team with the introduction of a daily SCRUM and other Agile development methodologies.▶ Responsible for stakeholder requirements generation, requirements traceability matrix, FMEA, and risk mitigation analysis for next generation design, per API1163,ATEX114, and ATEX153.▶ Chaired a proposal review committee—and oversaw a $1M operating budget with 12 direct reports—responsible for creating and maintaining technology roadmaps, proposals, and deliverables.

Tulsa, Ok, Us

Responsible for all stages of product development—from incorporating business objectives into technology platforms that improved features, plus quality and manufacturability—in order to support customers, vendors, and manufacturing partners for a company focused on driver safety, fleet management, and compliance.▶ Designed and released hardware for the TIWI light fleet vehicle monitoring device and WaySmart heavy fleet monitoring products, and managed FCC Part B, PTCRB, and CE Mark (CISPR 25) certification processes.▶ Created stand-alone Matlab programs used by NASCAR and FIA to process accelerometer data and evaluate the severity of impacts in response to market requirements.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Us

Co-Director, Utah Center of Excellence in Neural Interfaces. Taught graduate level instrumentation course and mentored masters, doctoral candidates, and undergraduate students in the undergraduate research opportunity program.▶ Coordinated with neurosurgeons to evaluate implantation safety of a MEMS microelectrode array in 10 human volunteers as part of a FDA IDE submission.▶ Awarded $1.5M National Institutes of Health grant to study the feasibility of restoring hearing sense through stimulating MEMS array structures in the neocortex.▶ Developed a real-time intraoperative, micro-electrode data acquisition and analysis system to guidedeep brain stimulator placement in thalamic and subthalamic targets to treat movement disorders.
