Worked with Engineering to design parts, models and assembly configurations, including updates and print drawings, using SOLIDWORKS and AutoCAD. Assumed the Agile Business Administrator role for the global launch of Agile (Product Lifecyle Management system). Provided training to Engineers on the Advanced Material Planning System (AMAPS). • Assisted in launching Agile, replacing a legacy product. Learned the system, created test scripts and ran testing protocols. Successfully launched new software and provided post-implementation support. Resolved process errors, resolved system issues, and provided general knowledge and support to end-users. • Initiated Change Requests/ Change Notices (CR’s/CN’s) and the compilation of supporting documentation. Communicated and distributed updates to Engineering. • Developed training materials, including guidance documents and work instructions for AMAPS, InfoCenter, and Agile. Facilitated training sessions and provided 1:1 instruction for new Engineers and Engineering Co-op students. • Contributed to pre-production and equipment design sessions. Prepared design concept layouts in support of new product design. Coordinated across multiple departments to produce model/prototypes of designs. • Optimized the design of Lift operations by working with the Director of Engineering to determine root cause of design flaws, make recommendations, draft design changes, and implement testing of the new concept. Recommendations were implemented and incorporated into all future product design.• Identified design process improvements to achieve cost-savings and improve equipment operation.• Created working 3D models using 3D printers.

Performed detailed design work, including concept development, preparation of drawings, specifications, and estimates for new product parts using SOLIDWORKS. • Analyzed existing products to identify methods to reduce costs of parts. Researched existing vendors to identify parts that could become a standard across multiple product lines. Resulted in streamlined inventory, standardized use of parts and cost reduction by using less expensive products. Designer I, Manual Wheelchairs continued….• Implemented a new design concept to reduce shoulder stress in patients by developing a midwheel drive (6 wheel) manual wheelchair. Created layouts, drafted multiple iterations of balance and wheel design, used SOLIDWORKS to test movement and tested final prototypes. Complied with FDA regulations and testing procedures.• Designed a new product, CourtSide Glide for walkers to facilitate movement and control. Collaborated with Design Engineers and Marketing to create specifications, develop prototypes, test varying designs, and finalize product for production. Worked with Supplier to make changes to spring design for new concept.Drafter II, Personal Care | 2000 to 2002Drafter, Personal Care | 1998 to 2000
