Incorporate robotics for automated assembly of military products for defense projects.* Projects worked on include design of machine that dispenses epoxy onto propulsion device and machine to rotate device’s housing for automated riveting.

Liaised with customers, ensuring projects stayed within scope; secured new quotes and approval for scope changes. Served as Lead for multiple projects, monitoring equipment design and build statuses against project scopes, budgets, and schedules.* Created new development procedure document with team to define team responsibilities across complete project lifecycle. Information was added to new onboarding document.* Led all aspects of project to redesign and manufacture four-step rotary table used to mass-produce drug delivery auto-injector, from initial quotes to conducting design reviews and testing. Improved actuator and nesting alignment. Finished project ~10% under budget while adding inspection station to catch damaged parts.* Optimized Excel spreadsheet to accurately quote new projects, after gathering input from team lead and senior engineers. Reduced time needed to quote projects by 25% and improved accuracy to within 10% of actual.* Requested by name to join customer’s project during Implementation Phase. Oversaw transition, setup, and testing of assembly equipment at production site. Improved ~50% of associated designs and test procedures.

Designed manual and semi-automated equipment for use in manufacturing medical devices, such as assembly nests, manual presses, UV gluing equipment, laser etching apparatuses, push/pull/test fixtures, etc. Wrote and released documentation. Adhered to various safety and production standards (ISO, NFPA, OSHA).* Medical devices assembled and tested by designed equipment primarily consisted of drug delivery patch-pumps, pens, and intravenous tubing sets, as well as handheld surgical devices and staplers. Other medical devices included brain surgery magnets, blood testing containers, and nasal sprays/mists.* Chosen to lead team of six engineers in creation of assembly line for endoscopic surgery device with 42 individual steps. Received consistent ratings of 9/10 or higher for team during quarterly customer reviews over three years.

Assessed design of patch-pump drug delivery device and performed tolerance stack analysis of device components.

Worked with US government on mission systems integration programs for military aircraft. Created preliminary designs, detailed drawings, and full BOMs.

Designed flight simulation systems for military and commercial aircraft. Served as engineering data reviewer, checking technical drawings for errors.* Developed lightproof “Aft Wall” to military flight simulator, blocking external light from interfering with visual system while still allowing maintenance access. Utilized FEA practices to ensure stability and finished on schedule.
