Watford, Hertfordshire, Gb

(Smith & Nephew was formerly Arthrocare) Served as the Electro/Mechanical System Architect and Technical Leader overseeing electrical, mechanical, and software engineers in the design of complex medical devices, and provides strategic system architecture direction for active designs and prototypes for multiple global teams. * Coordinated with external engineering partners, R&D, leadership, operations, quality, and sustainability, and supervised multidisciplinary teams of 50+ engineers to meet project timelines and cost objectives* Implemented designs to backplane chassis to ensure devices have a generic common interface customized with high/low speed communication circuits that enable off-the-shelf modules to expand connectivity* Architected a surgical-assist robotic platform improving precision and accuracy through 3D tracking of the surgical handpiece, and patient location to sub-millimeter accuracy, resulting in reduced surgical errors, faster procedure times, and improved patient outcomes* Designed a radio frequency (RF) ablation surgical instrument that utilizes a plasma-based handheld wand to precisely cut and ablate tissue, resulting in reduced bleeding, faster healing, and expedited surgical procedures* Conducted research to identify and specify necessary test equipment for new projects, successfully negotiating a 53% discount and saving over $300K in test equipment purchases* Implemented solutions to address component long lead times and part obsolescence issues, and successfully root-caused unexpected technical issues that put products on shipping hold

Austin, Texas, Us

Directed teams of senior and junior electrical/mechanical engineers and industrial designers in new product development of next-generation medical devices and exploration of emerging technologies. * Defined the system architecture and technical requirements, scheduling and production cost estimates, identifying key electrical components, and implemented value-engineering into product designs* Designed complex circuits for a new model of neo-natal infant warming device designed with a single board computer that monitors weight and delivers phototherapy treatment and sealed for sterilization and enhanced reprocessing* Coordinated research, analysis, and test design concepts and presented executive summaries of research and technical opportunities to senior staff leaders at technology trade shows* Reported regularly to executive management with accountability for resourcing and deliverables and identified engineering outsourcing opportunities and vendor selection for key components and services

Kalamazoo, Mi, Us

Served as the lead engineer in designing complex circuits for new product architectures trained in high-speed digital design and techniques for reducing EMI and managed engineering contractors and maintained effective relationships with key vendors.* Mentored and coached junior engineers throughout medical device development projects, assisted cross-functional project teams in transcending difficult technical challenges and ensured the integrity of design efforts* Designed and developed an award-winning Switch Point Infinity Control System that provides a touchscreen user interface enabling physicians and staff to control all electrical components in the operating room from a single source* Implemented value engineering and cost-savings while redesigning a circuit to replace obsolete components resulting in a 60% reduction in device manufacturing costs* Successfully developed a portfolio of medical devices and components to overcome a competitor’s patents by efficiently reengineering the components to provide technologically superior products in the medical device industry* Participated in Product Risk Management processes by identifying potential failures, implementing mitigations, establishing safety requirements, and designing for safety to provide viable equipment for clients.
