Contract engineer for Medtronic within the Cardiac Rhythm Management Quality Assurance team

· Designed and built a safe workstation after identifying hazardous testing procedures, and validated safety with an air quality study all within a month, minimizing project delays· Conducted more than 80 tests in the manual use lab for 15 different project teams that simulated user behavior cases to product failure or measured the performance of tools· Wrote and debugged a VBA script that automated a cumbersome datalogging process to reduce manual operation time by 99%· Analyzed over one-hundred tool failures and managed associated component changes from prototyping to engineering build phase for the concrete vibrator project

· Designed and assembled a fixture in SolidWorks constructed of sheet metal that tested the wear of a sealing component; its modular design allowed up to 20 samples on test a time· Identified a failure case of a plastic sub-component during accelerated life testing and identified the root cause

· Created a 3D solid model of an assembly line in Creo that was used in virtual reality for an upgrade; drew floor layouts in AutoCAD for other manufacturing line modifications
