Established engineering and NPI processes for a new in-house Product Development Team, helping the company transition from a start-up to a well-established brand with new product offerings.⁃SELECT AND IMPLEMENT Onshape as the primary CAD system, saving money and simplifying workflows, designing new product with Onshape on day 1⁃RESEARCH AND VALIDATE Intact and SimSolid as the appropriate FEA solution, saving money while utilizing FEA for crucial initial parts and system designs⁃CREATE a system for determining and managing new part numbers⁃CREATE AND MANAGE Bill of Materials for RFQ and production revisions⁃ESTABLISH 2D Drawing Templates with appropriate tolerance blocks, logos and notes⁃CREATE AND REVISE Drawing Packages for new products, establishing a database for PDF drawings and their revision control.Our redesign of the core elliptical product introduced features in response to customer feedback, along with other intuitive design improvements. New products are 20% lighter, fit 20-30% more in a shipping container, and perform better than the predecessor.SOUGHT, INTERVIEWED, ONBOARDED and TRAINED our second engineer and saw the company through a 3x increase in our workforce, ensuring the engineering process and data served the good of the entire company and personally trained cross-functional team members, empowering them to be excellent at their job with great product information and insights.Performed product benchmarking/Research and Development(R&D) and helped the company launch into new product offerings which I hope to see hitting their sales channels and making a big splash.
