Mechanical system lead in various projects revolving around robotics, product development and configuration management.

Mechanical design in support of new product development and sustaining engineering (robotic platform and instruments) generating product specifications documented through a robust quality system (implementation of CAD, DFM, GD&T). Evaluations of design via analytical and empirical methods, (FEA - Ansys, Motion - Solidworks, Optimization - Matlab Simulink, Fixture Design - Solidworks). Addressed internal and FDA requirements through verification and validation testing and documented the process through a robust quality system. Participated in ideation and prototype creation for a market leading R&D group.Led training and support of engineering group through CAD management system update. Worked in multidisciplinary teams on internal quality measures (Complaint Investigation, and CAPAs) and documented outputs in validated quality compliance systems.

Mechanical design and support for new product development.

Developed code comparing theoretical and actual values in 3D tracking.Assisted in the 3D tracking error assessment utilized in MakoPlasty procedures.Experience with writing, verifying and developing equipment relating to sub-requirements.

Development of a prototype hand-held imaging device applied towards functional imaging of in-vivo biological tissue.

Design and development of a novel hand-held optical imager and the software associated. This was performed with various programs such as Solidworks for geometric models, Matlab and Tecplot for image processing and presentation, and Labview for equipment control. The imager was tested via extensive experimental studies on cubical phantoms, preliminary experimental studies on breast shaped gel phantoms and human subject(s) (IRB- approved). The hand-held optical imager was shown to a have statistically relevant improvement in 2D image localization when compared to a previous generation. Journal : Publications• J. Gonzalez, M. Roman, M.
