Designing Advanced Energy Surgical Tool for Robotic Surgery.

Raritan, NJ, US

Lead Design for next generation Advanced Energy Laparoscopic Medial Device. Directed the technical design work for New Product Development Team of 15 engineers. Mentored junior engineers. Reduced risk around technical unknowns. Lead a small project team (3 engineers) through the development and product launch of a Phacoemulsification Handpiece in a joint.

Raritan, NJ, US

In charge of entire design and development process including: technical design, project plan/schedule, project budget, interacting and directing with component suppliers & external manufacture, and mentoring junior engineers on the team.From June 2016 to June 2017, I worked on a 12 month remote assignment at VERB. At VERB, I worked on the design of a.

Raritan, NJ, US

• Member of a technology development team as a design engineer focused on acoustic design of Harmonic blades and transducer.
• Created custom software to automate FEA analysis for acoustic design on a cluster of compute nodes with Python and batch scripts. Software resulted in a direct savings of $227k in the first year
• Layout test flows and manage external resources to conduct Design Validation testing
• Conduct interviews with and observed surgeons to gather “voice of customer” (VOC) translated observations to product and engineering requirements
• Develop and improve measurement systems (MSA) to evaluate prototype performance

Raritan, NJ, US

• Completed a 2yr rotational program through the complete R&D process. Developing new medical devices with focus in areas as quality, design, and manufacturing engineering.
• Lead development of collagen compression equipment. Equipment addressed customer complaints with regards to variation in collagen OD and increased manufacturing output by combining two operations
• Managed quality evaluation of the development of a circular stapler accessory by creating FMEAs, risk management plans, and executing reliability testing
• Direct work with outside suppliers and conduct qualification activities for new components
• Support validation activities (IQ, OQ & PQ)

Ann Arbor, Michigan, US
