Managing Hefring Engineering's first production facility in Gloucester, MA. Overseeing all aspects of final vehicle assembly, testing, and validation. Managing a global supply chain.

Design and manage product development of complex systems from ideation through production.

Designed several parts including an aluminum casting, a stamped component, a plastic connector, and a printed circuit board. Took parts from concept through design and into production. Achieved competitive pricing quotes from suppliers while maintaining component performance and functionality. Dealt with suppliers and got results based on engineering specifications. Calculated complex tolerance loops and understood component interactions in an assembly. Designed with multiple competing forces in mind (thermal, structural, electrical, etc.). Utilized 3D prototyping and gained experience with benefits and limitations.

Implemented a data analysis method in Matlab, which improved both ease of use and functionality. Designed and built a mechanical vacuum seal. Designed and built an attenuation fixture used to evaluate the performance of headphones of all form factors. Designed a fixture to program the processor on a computer chip. Designed a speaker enclosure, which could change its form without compromising acoustic performance (patent submitted to USPTO).
